Mike Vrabel is setting the record straight.

The Titans coach downplayed theseriousne s of theskirmish that broke outduring Thursday's joint practice with the Patriots, shrugging it off as football players just playing rough.

"If Jim McMahon Jersey that's a fight to you, man you've never been in a fight," Vrabel said,. "We just don't want any punches thrown."

NFL Network's Mike Giardi had described the incident as a "fracas" between cornerbackStephon Gilmoreand wide receiver A.J. Brownthat eventually ended with Riley Ridley Jersey laughs.

Vrabel said he understands tempers are likely to flare as helmets clash, butwas just happy things didn't escalate beyondshoving.

"I'm going to make sure we do (joint practices) with people that we trust that aren't sharing information and practice the same Eddie Jackson Jersey way we do, and believe in competing hard and finishing by not throwing punches," Vrabel said. "I understand that it's competitive they're pro football players. We want them to be really competitive.

"Is there going to be pushing and shoving? Yeah, I would figure there would be. But can they play with enough composure to break it up like they do in a game Chicago Bears Jersey and go back? There's pushing and shoving in every game, and if you don't throw a punch they're going to let you go back into the huddle."

Vrabel didn't share the same pa sion for hisgift from former teammate Tom Brady, whogave Vrabel a trophy earlier Thursday to celebrate the Titans regular-season win over the Patriots last year.

"I don't even know where it is right Adam Shaheen Jersey now," Vrabel said.
