Preseason Green Bay Packer football airing on KWWL
The Patriots will arrive at the Greenbrier resort late on Tuesday, practice with the Saints on Wednesday through Friday and then travel to New Orleans for Saturday’s game. As a matter of fact, Brady just came from a court hearing as his case with the NFL is under litigation. White averaged a mere 1.5 yards a carry against the Packers, and while some of that was due to the offensive line, White simply has to be better.
Garoppolo completed two of his next three passes and was then sacked for a seven-yard loss with about 20 seconds remaining.
Patriots defensive lineman Trey Flowers, a fourth-round draft pick from Arkansas, sacked Rodgers in the first quarter.
The cover of the Patriots’ game program for Thursday night’s exhibition season opener against the Packers featured the team’s nine offseason award winners.
While his fate is being determined, the Patriots have been preparing second-year quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to take over, but a shaky performance in the first preseason game could put that in doubt.
After the Packers turned the ball over on downs near midfield with 53 seconds left, Garoppolo hit Jonathan Krause for a 9-yard gain. “We’ve got a long way to go, obviously”. “Eleven points isn’t good enough. There’s room for improvement”. That’s the main difference between Garoppolo and Brady.
Lions 23, Jets 3: In Detroit, Matthew Stafford threw a 35-yard touchdown pass to Golden Tate, and rookie running back Ameer Abdullah ran for 67 yards – 45 on one play – to lift the Lions over New York. Garoppolo ran up the middle on fourth-and-4 early in the fourth quarter and the officials initially gave New England the first down.
“I’m bored stiff”, he joked in his halftime quotes. Undrafted receiver Chris Harper had a couple nice catches during this drive, and ended his night with 7 for 48 yards. He was 5-of-13 passing in the first half, suffering from a few drops and some sketchy blocking from a patchwork offensive line but also missing on some deep passes and not having great pocket feel. “Every running back has to be able to do it. If you can’t pass protect you’re not going to get in there”. The Patriots were smart to keep letting him take those shots to learn from experience. “So I just wanted to go out there and make plays and make no mental errors”.
Thursday was his first real extended playing time since last preseason, so he was excited.
Bears 27, Dolphins 10: Ryan Tannehill picked apart a rebuilt defense, throwing for a touchdown on the game’s opening drive, and Miami led into the second half before Chicago rallied. Hard to tell right now. “Where the compromise is, I don’t know”, said Collinsworth, during the Sunday Night Football panel Thursday morning at the Television Critics Association summer press tour.
