"Mike Vrabel can be credited for that change, as the players are buying into the culture he's establishing in full force. That is on full display on and off the field, and Vrabel has made it clear that he holds all the players to the same standard, no matter what position they play or how often they're active in a game."
"That, however, prompts concerns about what might transpire moving forward with Barmore, depending on how he responds to the benching. Although he did play in the rest of the game against the Browns, there was a chance he could be unhappy, or things could deteriorate, which would be significant given how well he has played alongside Milton Williams. Fortunately, that doesn't appear to be the case so far."
Mike Vrabel has changed team culture by holding all players to the same standard, producing fewer off-field issues and less drama. He benched Christian Barmore for the first quarter of a recent game for an unspecified reason, a punishment Vrabel would not publicly detail. Barmore declined to comment immediately after the game and left the stadium early, prompting initial concern about possible fallout. Barmore later said he had moved on and urged focus on the upcoming Falcons game, and he and Vrabel were seen embracing after the contest. Barmore continued to play and remains paired effectively with Milton Williams.
