After beating the Miami Dolphins two days ago, the New England Patriots are only two days away from their next game. On Tuesday, Belichick let one reporter have it when being pressed for medical information regarding backup-turned starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. I coach the team; the medical people handle the injuries.

So what did we learn during Bill Belichick’s media availability Wednesday morning? He’s like 235 pounds. Football decisions are based on what’s best for the football team. His defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel had the same job in New England. While this is still no clear indicator whether or not he will be available on Thursday, it is an encouraging sign for both player and team. Brissett finished with 1.08 NEP on nine attempts. He also quarterbacked for the 2004 Woodside High team that went 13-0 en route to a Central Coast Section title. He’s got good physical talent.

Rookie third-round pick Jacoby Brissett, drafted 91st overall in April, is likely to start against the Texans.

The Texans have not allowed a touchdown in six quarters and Houston notched wins over the Bears and Chiefs to come to Foxborough as a rare road favorite.

“A player’s personal situation, his health, always comes first”.

“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”. They haven’t given up many.

“And then (we) had an opportunity to talk at halftime about some things that we wanted to do in the second half and I thought he took advantage of his opportunities”. The pair are the only two players ever to win National Football League defensive player of the year honors three times. They don’t call plays. “But more than anything, I think this is a ideal Bill situation”. “He went in there yesterday and showed a lot of poise”.

Dolphins comeback bid against Patriots falls short
