Wasn't in this forum a year ago, so I don't know what the tradition is for posting threads about upcoming games. But I thought you all would be interested to know that Brady isn't playing tomorrow. So be on the lookout for Jimmy G. to play
Generally we don't make them till a few hours before the game. So this is a bit early It's okay though.
I did not think Brady was going to play anyway even if he did not miss practice. Why risk him behind that injured OL?
Things I want to see.
Jimmy do well
The DBs do well... Particular what Butler. Roberts & Richards do.
The depth on the OL. I want to see how it looks.
Tre Jackson
Dom Easley
For injury's sake, I'd be happy if Brady didn't even dress.
Part of me thinks it would be a cold comfort if Brady's suspension sticks from a football point of view. If the OL is as bad as it was for the first four games last year, it might be better for the back up to take that beating while they get it sorted out. Especially given Brady's age and the hope that the season will be 3-4 games longer than most team's.
(If there were any sound logic to what I just wrote, they would be tempted to sit Brady regardless of suspension, so be thankful nobody hired me as head coach)
With so many starters out why risk Gronk? I want to see most of the first team D though cause we have enough healthy to have a representative unit which is good to help it gel. Give them a drive then get them out.
For starters give extended time to
Butler
Brown
And on O
Jackson
Mason
Chandler (needs to learn the plays and Jimmy needs someone to throw to).
This D has it rough. Practice against Brady all the time then the first pre season QB you face is Rodgers followed by Brees, Newton and Eli. Then first regular season QB you face is Ben.
They sure are going to see some good QBs early. Probably a good thing.
It's just good to be talking about actual football. I just wanna concentrate on the young guys, watch the rookies, and the 2nd year guys. I never put too much weight into preseason games. For instance, if Garappolo struggles, I'm not gonna freak out. It's all about it being fun to watch. Do I want them to win, sure, but it's about seeing the young pups in action. Hoping to see what Grissom, Flowers et all can show.
