*********Official Preseason Game Thread: Week 4 Patriots @ Giants******

[Froob]

If White doesn't stick around he'll def end up somewhere. F runner but he's still good out of the backfield. Foster looks like a better all around back.

 

[ViperGTS]

people expect brady to come week 5 and light it up. I think they need to temper their expectations. He needs reps as much as the others. This suspension has hurt us in more ways than one.

Yup. The NFL knew what they were doing.

Prediction. Pats divisional weekend @Oakland. At that point it's about health and how the teams are playing.

WHY go for two SMH

Because it's........GASP...preseason?

 

[PP2]

Good align on the stack for Martin. Good execution overall. Starting to click.

 

[Brady6]

Martin is going to hit that girl up after the game.

Jeff Howe ?@jeffphowe
Brady and Garoppolo exchanged friendly slaps to the body on the sideline.

BUT THEY HATE EACHOTHER!

 

[BradyFTW!]

I wish it wasn't. I wanted him to succeed. I hope I'm wrong. I really do.

Every year, we look back at preseason and say "man, it's really important not to overreact to this stuff". This is one of those cases.

A lot of people thought Randy Moss was going to get cut in the 2007 preseason. Bennett's obviously no moss, but the same general principle applies. He's not playing to make the team. He's playing to get used to the offense and not get hurt. As soon as his knee got wrapped up, his primary focus became not getting it blown out. No way he gets cut over something like that. He isn't Terrance Knighton out there, fundamentally failing at his job on virtually every snap. He's just treating it like a preseason game.

NESN: BRADY PUNCHES GAROPPOLLO, HAS TO BE SEPERATED

That STs play broke down.

Tough break for E Roberts. The bright side is now they can keep him at least. I didn't think they could TBH.

 

[AtomicDawg]

Roberts down.

 

[primetime]

Well, Roberts' season is probably over.

Keshawn Martin catches a TD. Aaron Dobson watches CB jump route and outmuscle him for an INT. Advantage: Martin.

 

[Kdo5]

Now I can breathe easy, no major injuries to starters. Solder seems okay.

Thuney looks so far beyond what I expected of him at LG, it's awesome.

Yet someone on this Pats broadcast production team has Kline as the projected LG.....

 

[BradyFTW!]

Thuney looks so far beyond what I expected of him at LG, it's awesome.

It's funny, Thuney was the one pick that I was actually watching 'professional' draft coverage for, and the pick was roundly criticized on the basis that he was too raw. Same criticism that was made of Chandler Jones, Nate Solder, and Jamie Collins come to think of it, and they all contributed as rookies .

Thanks Doug! LOL

 

[AtomicDawg]

Branch....he's back.

 

[BobDigital]

Mmm. Okay time to get those last few spots.

Guys to watch: Johnson, Kuhn (DT), D. Roberts J. Jones Coleman(CB) Ebner King Roberts(S)

I don't think any other guys are really playing for potential spots with E. Roberts out for the game.

I think both Grissom/Johnson are gone at DE.

DJ Foster looks an adequate Lewis sub and I wouldn't be shocked if he gets a lot of play with Blount. Gaffney's on the outside looking in, I think.
