I know Bruschi is off the injury report. Probably that means he'll play. But is the following scenario possible?
Last week, we kept him listed as questionable (or was it probable?) even though we knew he wouldn't play, just to make Jax waste time prepping for him.
This week, we take him totally off the report, causing Denver to "know" he'll play, and spend time preparing for Bruschi, then we I-R him an hour before the game.
The talk show on Patriots.com said they hadn't seen Bruschi around the locker room the last couple practices, and wondered whether they just "happened to miss" him.
Hopefully this theory of mine is all hokum, but I've been worried about Bruschi for weeks. Remember how awkward that hit was to his leg in the Jets game? He went off on the dreaded cart. I won't rest easy until I see him out there on Saturday. Does anyone else share my paranoia, even a little bit?
