Mike Vrabel doesn't want any fights breaking out at New England Patriots training camp, and he speaks from experience. The first-year Patriots coach said Monday he's emphasized discipline during padded practices, especially for younger players trying to prove themselves.

Mike Vrabel doesn't want to see his Patriots players fight in training camp -- even though he fought in his very first padded practice as a player nearly 30 years ago.

With players in pads for the first time, wins and losses are often charted during 1-on-1 drills, but Vrabel said it’s also a time to experiment with new things on the practice field. It’s not just about winning every single rep, but taking some risks and growing as a player.
