Brissett now needs to prepare for Texans on Thursday

Reporters never found out whether it was Wheaties, Cap’n Crunch or something healthier on the menu, or if Garoppolo was able to wield the spoon with his right hand despite his injured right shoulder.

Jimmy Garoppolo, who suffered a shoulder injury in the first half of Sunday’s win over Miami, was not present at the session.

The Patriots won’t be there long enough to exceed the data limit on their monthly cell-phone bill, and that’s why Jets fans – those eager to predict the demise of the Patriots – should muffle their laughter. I’ve loved working with him.

While the Patriots are making the noise, suspended Brady continues to express his thoughts on his team. Even without Brady and tight end Rob Gronkowski, the Patriots are looking to go 3-0 on Thursday night against the Houston Texans.

“If [Brissett is injured] I’d expect Julian to go in there and the coaches to be comfortable with the plays they’re calling for him”, Brady said.

But the more likely scenario is the first National Football League start for rookie Jacoby Brissett, who finished Sunday’s game and completed six of nine passes for 92 yards.

That concluded a day when the San Diego Chargers lost Danny Woodhead with what appeared to be a serious right knee injury and Miami’s Arian Foster left the Dolphins’ 31-24 loss in New England with a groin injury.

“I know he hasn’t been in the National Football League for a long time, but he seems to grasp what we are trying to do”. “He learns well from these coaches, and I’m excited to see what the future holds for him”. Coach Bill Belichick thrives in these situations.

“He has done a good job of that all through preseason and in some of the practice opportunities with us and with the Bears and the Saints”, Belichick said.

“He still talks about that touchdown pass he threw against Baltimore [in the playoffs] a few years ago”, Brady said on Westwood One’s Monday Night Football pregame show. In fact, Edelman’s scouting report included terms like “too small, unconventional”, “position: undetermined”, “unknown as wide receiver”, “perhaps just a camp arm to give wide receivers more work”, and “unlikely Edelman is being brought to New England to make an impact”.

“I’m sure Jacoby is going to do his job for them to win”, Weis said.

The 23-year-old has plenty of support from notable football figures, including Brady, former Patriots offensive coordinator Charlie Weis and former Patriots head coach Bill Parcells. They don’t call plays, I don’t do surgeries. We’re excited for the opportunity.

By winning their first two games without Brady, who was Goodell’ed for four games, the Patriots made themselves disaster-proof.

If you want to play the “Brady or Belichick?” parlor game, the first two weeks of this season have placed a sizable load on the “Belichick” side of the scale. We have a lot of experience with them. It was the only catch of the game for Hardy, a fourth-round pick past year out of East Carolina and the NCAA’s all-time leading receiver. We’ll always do what’s best for the football team.

Amendola said the Texans’ familiarity with the Patriots is a matter for concern.

“I don’t know”, Belichick said.

It’s a tough challenge to have to prepare in such a short time for another foe, and it doesn’t help all that much that the game is home. He can make up that gap just as easily as LeBron James could rally from a one-letter deficit in a game of “H-O-R-S-E”.
