Brian Hoyer ready... if - BostonHerald.com
I hadn't realized Hoyer kept his helmet on at all times during the game. Kind of quirky, but I like it.
Then again, maybe he's terrified of getting a concussion from an errant pass, like what happened to William Hayes of the Titans.
The coaching staff must have a ton of confidence in Hoyer if they kept him as the only back-up even as an UDFA. Now in his second year, he seems to be developing behind the scenes. He's looked pretty good in the few flashes he's played, mostly last year's season finale against Texas.
Brian Hoyer will be wearing his helmet on the sidelines.
That’s how the backup quarterback prepares. He straps on his chinstrap on the chance that starter Tom Brady [stats] is injured, suffers an equipment failure or anything in between.
“When we’re on offense, I stand and try to watch the other team’s defense,” Hoyer said, “but I always have my helmet on — ready to go just in case. You never know when your name’s going to get called.”
This is the life of a second-string quarterback.
