? When it comes to divining just how injured Tom Brady really is, here's a good rule of thumb (or right foot, as the case may be): While we won't ever know much about the specifics of any injury that befalls a member of the hyper-secretive Patriots, history tells us the situation is usually worse than New England is letting on. Especially when it comes to the all-important matter of No. 12's physical condition. Am I intimating the league's reigning MVP might not be ready to play Sunday against the visiting Chiefs due to his sore right foot? No, I'm not. But based on information that came to light after the fact in the case of previous Brady injuries, I'm willing to bet New England's franchise quarterback will be playing hurt early this season. Just as he was in the Super Bowl last February, when he was hobbled by that right ankle sprain despite not even being listed on the team's final injury report. In past years, Brady has suffered through right shoulder issues that were almost always more serious than they were portrayed at the time. While the Patriots will always play mind games with their injury report as long as Bill Belichick is around, the evidence usually suggests Brady is hurt worse than what is publicly acknowledged. I firmly believe that to be the reality this time around as well, which entirely explains why Belichick wanted no part of Brady making an appearance in the preseason behind a Patriots offense line that has struggled mightily at times in protection. The best news for Brady and the Patriots may be that New England's opening-day opponent is Kansas City, which sent pass-rusher extraordinaire Jared Allen to Minnesota via trade this offseason. That's one less potential headache for a Patriots offensive line that still hasn't recovered its pre-Super Bowl mojo. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/don_banks/09/02/Snaps/index.html?eref=T1
well hopefully after week two brady will be playing with a detached head because calvin pace kindly removed it from his shoulders.
I thought that was Gholston's job ... Hmmmmm .. I see the tide turning on Vernie from Jets fans already ..
Go talk to champ, he´s the source of insight you are looking for. Everyone else would just tell you, that Gholston isn´t ready, yet to do that that early in the season, so the guy who wrecked havoc against the reigning SB Camp 10 days ago will take over that duty for now. btw, still mad that you guys had to settle for Mayo instead of Gholton?
Seriously, who cares which Jets rips off Brady's head? i mean come on, if brady gets whacked and can't get back up, I really think the Pats have more to worry about than which Jets kocked him sensless. I mean come on now. Obviously the Jets need to attack this OL that has lost it's luster, get out there and put him on the ground so often, he forgets what standing feels like!
Reporting this morning on the radio that he has a "cracked bone" in his foot. May play, but it will take 4-6 weeks to heal.
Emoticon Addiction is a serious affliction that affects one in five Massholes. The first step toward recovery is recognizing that you have a problem. The next step is to go fuck yourself.
Name calling again, didn't anyone ever teach you to use your words? As for Harris? Who's this Harris guy? As for Mayo, just sit back and watch, then tell me how much he sucks.
Of course you don't know who Harris is, you have no brain. Watch for 52 all day long as he shreds your offensive backfield, twit.
The Pats will be so obsessed with Gholston that they will never see Pace coming and Pace will indeed kill Brady.
holy fuck...Harris had 147 tackles last season....and you don't know who he is? You do know this is a football forum....come back when you have a clue.
yeah it must...we'll ask Brady about our D-line after they scrape up his carcass off the field in week 2. maybe if the stars align in your favor, Matt Cassel will learn how to play QB sometime before that happens.
