Rex Ryan poses as reporter, asks Julian Edelman if he’s playing QB

The Patriots’ three-year, $12 million proposal was too rich for their blood, however, and the Bills allowed Hogan to walk.

If neither of them are able to play, the Patriots would have to sign a quarterback by Monday.

So if Bill Belichick can win convincingly with Jacoby Brissett and Jimmy Garoppolo, what chance to the others have? Though both are practicing this week, the possibility also exists that only one will be healthy enough to play Sunday. The Dolphins have a lot of potential and as the season progresses they should get more comfortable with Adam Gase’s offense and Vance Joseph’s defense but will it be too late?

“The Patriots are the standard of the league, 3-0 without Brady against good teams”, Ryan said.

Ryan insisted that even with variables to account for, he isn’t anxious about over preparing for one guy or coming in with the wrong game plan. “The passing game is the passing game”. Ryan’s compiled a 4-11 record against New England with the Jets and Bills, but usually plays his rivals tough. So all that stays the same. Garoppolo did not appear to be favoring his injured shoulder when throwing.

Brissett wasn’t asked to do much in his start, taking advantage of three Houston turnovers. He was not ruled out to start against the Texans until the day of the game. On Sunday against the Steelers, Wentz completed 23 of 31 passes for 301 yards and two touchdowns in a 34-3 romp.

It may not come as a surprise that New England is going undefeated despite some quarterback injuries. Ryan doesn’t expect to know who the Patriots will start until kickoff on Sunday. “This situation is a little different. So we weren’t going to live that nightmare again”. One thing we have in common is we know you better be yourself in this league.

Before the practice, Garoppolo was unsure of his availability for Sunday’s home game against the Buffalo Bills.

They know that no matter what the number, it’ll likely make a difference. Brady recently said that he is in a good place, with just a week to go, according to ESPN.

Los Angeles has a new (old) team and are about to have a new stadium, but they still have their old, outdated coach.

Garoppolo is more of a traditional drop back passer, Brissett brings and increased run threat, and Edelman was an option quarterback in college.

Edelman was either fooled or played along, because he answered.

He didn’t even resort to I-told-you-so for firing offensive coordinator Greg Roman and replacing him with assistant head coach/running backs Anthony Lynn the day after the defeat by NY.
