Does Burgess play this Thursday?

[slash83]

You guys think Burgess will play in the first preseason game?

 

[BigMike]

hes coming in for his physical tomorrow, so no he wont

 

[makoute]

I don't think so.

 

[signbabybrady]

Hopefully his conditioning is fine.

I would expect him to play a few snaps. I think he has been in the league long enough for him to pick up quickly a good portion of the play book to be able to play thurs. With his limited time in a system similar to ours I think BB would want as much game situation as he can to better gage what kind of role would be best for him.

I am trying to remember if Ted Washington played in the first exhibition game after acquiring him. I don't believe he did. In fact, I think he missed the first two but I could be entirely wrong.

That said, I doubt we see Burgess this week. Let him get in here for Sunday, get some reps this week and then turn it up for the 2nd game.

as I cant remember if Ted played back then or not I am going to go more recent and say that I do recall Lynch geting time the first game he was here.

I expect Burgess to get some time.

Washington played only two or so days after being traded for. That was week 3 of pre-season though, so maybe it was more necessary.

 

[zoostation]

why in the world would they bring a guy who hasn't even been to training camp in and play him this soon??? not happening.

 

[efin98]

I'd expect him on the sideline in street clothes paying close attention to what his teammates are doing in what situations on defense getting acclimated from a distance to how things are going to go for him when he does suit up.

Was it really that late in the pre-season?

Someone mentioned Lynch, I forgot about him! I mean, I remember he was in camp but forgot that it was as a mid-camp invite.

 

[HEY BRO! WHAT UP?]

If he has a good week of practice, he may see some time.

 

[matt9071]

He may play a couple snaps its morelikely that he gets significant time for game two.

Ted Washington started on 8/22/03 Pats at Eagles, two days after being traded to the Pats

 

[Kontradiction]

Well I just got off the phone with BB. He says that he'll probably wait until the second preseason game before sending in Burgess for a few snaps.

good find. I would like to see Burgess play, but I also wouldn't mind BB unleashing him during the regular season a la Moss

Obviously it was 2003, not 2009 but you get the picture......

 

[BradyFixesEverything]

He absolutely will play. Why would Belichick take away reps from someone who needs them the most?

Did you happen to mention to him that there are a few posters in here that are adamant that he paid too much for Burgess?

I agree.
Why send him in to get hurt again before the real games start?
