When speaking with media members after the game, Jacas reacted to being called out by Vrabel for failing to shed enough blocks on special teams.
“He was like, 'I'm tired of seeing you get blocked.' So I was like, '[Expletive], I’m not gonna get blocked.' So, that’s what I did. Vrabel demands the best out of his players," Jacas said, via CLNS Media.
It was a good overall performance for Jacas, who got work on defense and special teams. On the defensive side of the ball, he created pressure off the edge on Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson's interception in the first quarter. He also helped set the edge on a great run stuff.
The Patriots must be feeling good about Jacas' progress considering he missed all of the spring work. He has stepped up and contributed in a way that shows he can make an immediate impact.
