With Garoppollo likely out, the Patriots will be counting on rookie third-round pick Jacoby Brissett to bridge the gap until Brady returns in Week 5. Suspended quarterback Tom Brady jokingly noted this week that Edelman is “batting 1.000” as an National Football League passer. I don’t want to just be as good as I was before. After enduring the round and round of their own quarterback carousel past year, the Texans have welcomed the stability afforded by pricey offseason acquisition Brock Osweiler while the Patriots have shuffled signal callers in the wake of Tom Brady’s suspension and Jimmy Garoppolo’s shoulder injury.

“He’s been looked at and he’s been treated”, Belichick said.
Under normal circumstances, he would have simply walked through the Patriots’ locker room unnoticed following a Tuesday afternoon practice session.
Don’t forget that Sheard has a huge game against the Texans past year. They don’t call plays; I don’t do surgery. On Sunday, they squared up their family business with KC, and now they get to do the same with the Patriots, and the Pats starting QB is a rookie making his first start. Compare trying to kill one wasp with trying to kill a sea of gnats – that’s the difference between shutting down Kelce and trying to contain the Patriots’ short and intermediate passing game, especially if Rob Gronkowski plays. “I’m a football coach; I’m not a doctor”, Belichick said when asked how he juggles some uncertainty with Garoppolo’s health and roster decisions.
“We’ve just got to come together as a team”. That remains to be seen because they’ve never really had to do it under Belichick. “He’s a smart guy, I know he’s very smart”.
The current Texans quarterback said it isn’t easy as some may think. Coach Belichick always has the team prepared for any situation. “He has a lot to improve on, that’s for sure”, Hopkins said. Romeo Crennel, now defensive coordinator in Houston, held that job in New England before he was head coach in Cleveland and Kansas City. The nine-year veteran has played on all but two offensive snaps over the first two games and reeled in a 20-yard touchdown on Sunday.

“Just from the way Jimmy’s been playing I can tell he hasn’t wasted a single day”, Osweiler said. “Whether I was the backup or I was playing previous year, I wanted to show up and get better every single day.There was a coach that told me ‘If you’re not getting better, you’re getting replaced'”.
