Welcome Brandon Browner

The village idiot reports in with his "sources"

Source says #Patriots CB Brandon Browner probably won’t play tomorrow in his first game off suspension, as @FieldYates said

You don't need sources to know if Browner will play tomorrow. You only need to look at transaction wire and see if he is activated right now. If not he can't play tomorrow. He isn't activated, so he can't play.

Came here to post the exact same thing. What a dope Volin is.

Reporters are ignoring that, for some reason.

Unless Browner is dealing with an injury I don't buy this not game ready crap. What's he been doing since preseason sitting on his ass eating nachos? No reason he shouldn't be ready to go to a certain extent come Sunday.

So, you think that with Dennard injured and Ryan currently being CB2, Belichick's pulling a "We'll fool them by sucking at CB2" con on the Bengals?

Gotta give it to him though. He gives hope to people that really anyone can become a sport journalist. You don't even have to know the rules. Which he has shown multiple times that he does not.

Strikes again he does:

Brandon Browner gets a $150k bonus for each game he is active. Would be costly if he doesn’t play Sunday

As Belichick said there is a difference between being in shape, and being in football shape.

yeah, well...I wonder what led him to believe Devey was "in football shape"?

I almost feel the same way...but lets hope he's ready for Buffalo

Maybe he means that Browner just hasn't impressed in practice and he isn't good enough to start at CB2 even with Dennard out.

I certainly hope that isn't the case.

Who needs Brandon Browner when we can save $150K?

RobAllan · Oct 4, 2014

Perhaps in practice, Browner keeps forgetting to line up 12 yards off the LOS.

Foolish on people's part to assume he would play this week. The moment Belichick started talking about how someone could be in peak physical shape but not football shape in his presser I knew it was doubtful he would play.

They've known for well over a year that he'd be eligible to play this week. What in God's name has he been doing to get ready?

FCB02062 · Oct 4, 2014

Why the f isn't this guy going to play? browner at 50% is better thN anything they showed vs kc. The in bill we trust crowd must be really grasping at straws now...what will they say if the pats get pummeled again sunday and show the same heart and desire they showed vs kc? Man I wish this pats team showed some desire...

RxJock1120 · Oct 4, 2014

No words for Browner not being active for this game....no words. He surely looked ready to me in the preason.

He hasn't played football in 5 weeks. You think 3 days of today's NFL practice was going to get him right back into game shape?

ya....5 weeks ago

JMC00 · Oct 4, 2014

I also think him not being activated might bode well for Dennard's chances of playing. I mean there is no way Belichick has that much confidence in Ryan after he benched him at halftime. But then again Pats coaching decisions have been out of bizarro world this season. So it wouldn't surprise me if come tomorrow night it's Revis and Arrington starting on the outside.

KT looked good in preseason too. Butler looked great also.

Preseason?
