Bill Belichick has fun with media while providing Tom Brady’s injury update
Tom Brady needs just 57 yards to become the fifth player in National Football League history to reach 60,000 passing. “Everyone plays with bumps and bruises this time of year”. Everyone’s dealing with something.
“I wish I could give you guys more”, he added, “but there’s not much to elaborate on”. The over is also 56-25 in the Patriots’ last 81 games on fieldturf, is 43-20 in their last 63 games following an ATS win and is 27-13 in their last 40 games versus AFC East opponents.
Jets center Nick Mangold (ankle) appears to be making slight progress, but he still hasn’t practiced in several weeks.
Redskins: Tight end Jordan Reed separated his left shoulder in Thursday’s loss to the Cowboys, but it was uncertain whether he would miss any games, coach Jay Gruden said. History aside, Revis holds Brady in the highest esteem possible for his position, and says he’s shown no signs of slowing down, via Boston.com. The Jets allowed just 280 yards of total offense while sacking Case Keenum a total of 3 times, leading the Rams to go with 1st overall pick Jared Goff despite winning the game.
Martellus Bennett did not have a great game against the 49ers last week, with just one catch (on two targets) for 14 yards. But when you look at film and watch the one-on-one matchup, did you win?
Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Roberto Aguayo was named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week after connecting on all four of his field-goal attempts and an extra point in the 19-17 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.
But for Brady to record that milestones, he will have to win over New York Jets and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
It’s also suitable for quarterback issues to rear their head again for Gang Green, as head coach Todd Bowles is fumbling the ball on his decision to re-insert Ryan Fitzpatrick into the starting lineup. It’s awesome to see a guy like that that just looks better than ever. “You’re not going to make the next step”. Obviously, they beat us the first time. “It got to the point where he’s helping out more on offence and we’re trying to take something off of his plate.”.
“They won without Gronk; they won without Brady”, he said. I think that’s the mark of a good football team and that’s what they are. “But I don’t know, maybe one day you guys can ask (Patriots owner Robert) Kraft to put grass back in here for us players”.
CBs Marcus Williams and Nick Marshall are out. Defensive tackle Steve McLendon was limited at practice on Thursday with a hamstring injury after sitting out on Thursday.
