Do the first units get any action tomorrow?
 

Will we see Brady and the boys or any of the first unit teams or is it just a bunch of guys fighting for spots 45 - 53?

Maybe 'Sante...

I would expect one series and done. Select regular starters may not see any action.

Doubt it......

If I remember correctly, hardly any starters saw action in last year's preseason finale. I remember last year Barry Gardner tore his ACL in this game, I really wanted to see what that guy could've done on the team.

I'm pretty sure Gardner broke his leg. I agree with you, he was a loss.

My take on this is that I hope the following players don't even put on a uniform:

Brady
Moss
Welker
Maroney
Faulk
All of the starting 5, except maybe Kaczur
All of the Big Three
All of the top 5 LBs
Harrison
Sanders
Wilson
Hobbs
Gay

I fully expect Samuel to play significant minutes, if only as a mildly poke in his direction but also because he could use a tune up.

Many of them may not even be there, according to Peter King's last Monday Morning Quarterback:

"Some teams, like New England, will quite literally dress only enough rookies and young scrubs to make it through the game, giving 28 or so regulars the night off entirely. (Watch the Patriot sideline Thursday night in Foxboro. It'll look like the sideline at a Montana six-man football game. You'll say, "Hey, where is everybody?'' And everybody you've ever heard of will be in Back Bay, having dinner with the family on a peaceful night off.)"

Great news about them sitting out the usual suspects, there are a few guys I wouldn't mind seeing in action.

1. Pierre Woods
2. Eric Alexander
3. Lekevin Smith
4.Kareem Brown
5. Justin Rogers
6. Oscar Lua
7. Mel Mitchell
8. Willie Andrews
9.Bam Childress
10.Mike Elgin
11.Kelly Washington

I wanna see if I see any big plays from any of these guys that show me they Truly deserve to be on the 53 in any capacity.

I was at that game, at the Meadowlands. When Michael Strahan got hurt, all I could hear was one Giants fan yelling, "Why is he even in the game?"

First team D got some reps, IIRC.
