""We've got a lot of Tennessee people in this building, so it will be a little extra for them," Garrett Bradbury said. "But players, we just have to show up and execute.""
""I think it would be filed under the category of, is it interesting or important? I would probably say this would be very interesting, but in the end not very important to our preparation or what we need to continue to try to do to improve as a team.""
""But, having spent six years there or seven years there, I think it will be nice to see some people that I haven't seen in a few years that helped us win, players and staff. We've got a huge job we've got to do here as we try to prepare for them.""
Mike Vrabel returns to Tennessee to face the franchise that fired him as the Patriots prepare for Titans week. New England has matched last season's win total through six games and is on a three-game winning streak. Tennessee dropped to 1-5 after a loss to the Raiders and subsequently fired coach Brian Callahan. The Titans rank last in total yards per game (232.3) and second-to-last in scoring (13.8), have nine sacks (half from Jeffery Simmons), and are tied for second in turnovers with 10. Calvin Ridley and Jeffery Simmons have been bright spots. Vrabel emphasized preparation over the storyline, and Patriots players noted extra motivation from Tennessee natives on the roster.
