This obviously does not mean that they can not slack off until Brady comes back. While Gronk hasn’t played the first two weeks of the season, the Patriots offense has been very effective thanks to Bennett. “I think you just have to go out there, stick to your game plan, and execute what we do on defense for us”. That is, until Garoppolo went down with a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder in Sunday’s 31-24 win over Miami.

“I havent been in full pads for a while”, Gronkowski said with a laugh. “They are a great organization and they find a way to make plays”. Of course, that’s not as hard a task when you’re perhaps the most stable organization in National Football League history playing against a “meh” Dolphins team you usually beat. It was a tough injury.
Ware missed all but the final few days of training camp to protect his back, which kept him out of five games last season.
“We haven’t practiced today”. Garoppolo is seeming to follow in his very modest footsteps, conducting his own media conference with “Brady-like precision”, according to ESPN. Although coach Ron Rivera claims his team is deep at the position, Stewart is a mainstay.
And they’re 0-2 anyway. It’s a significant contrast from his replacement, Todd Bowles, who has done a great job of coaching a talented Jets squad to a 10-6 record last season and is 1-1 so far this year.
If he makes his first career start against the Houston Texans on Thursday night, things will be a bit more hard.
Ohio State’s Noah Brown made the catch of the year. But I thought his poise and composure yesterday showed. “He’s a tough kid, and he’s Italian, so I don’t count him out”. We have no way to know what Brady would do without Belichick. “He’s a big quarterback who makes good decisions and keeps plays alive with his legs”. “Improving every single day, and basically just day-by-day right now and taking it one day at a time”. Which means Julian Edelman, a dual threat quarterback at Kent State who did throw a TD pass in a playoff win over Baltimore, would likely be Brissett’s backup.
If he was ever thrust into the top spot at quarterback, Brady, turning serious, expressed confidence.
AFC Rivals with strong starts: Of the AFC rivals for the Patriots, the best looking team is the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The New England Patriots have a bit of a quarterback emergency going into their Week 3 game against the Houston Texans on Thursday. “Let me put it a different way: I’m the coach; I do what’s best for the football team”.
As for Brady himself, he confirmed that he worked out with former teammate Wes Welker on Sunday morning, saying, “It was fun to be out there on the field with him. If we get on the details of things, that’s going to give us our best opportunity to win a game”.
In addition, Brady said he’s been trying to replicate what he’d normally do during the course of the week and feels he’s “in a decent place”.
With starter Tom Brady serving a four-game suspension for his role in the “Deflategate” scandal, Brissett would be the No. 1 QB against Houston if Garoppolo can’t return from his right shoulder injury in time.

“(There were) a lot of positives”, said McDaniels. I’ve never had a chance to go back in the fall, so to have an opportunity to do it was really special.
