Tom Brady shakes off ‘silly’ accident, wants game reps

“I was ready to go, had everything on, and I was just trying to get something out of my shoe”, Brady said. It was just a silly accident.

Jimmy Garoppolo will start while Brady’s out, with Brady returning to the starting role once his suspension ends before New England’s game at Cleveland on October 9.

What Belichick has acknowledged is that because of Brady’s upcoming four-game “Deflategate” suspension, the priority is to get Jimmy Garoppolo ready to play.

Garrett said Bryant seemed “much better” Tuesday, and the coach doesn’t think there is a long-term concern.

It shows he may have more time to dedicate to his business venture, as he will be serving a four-game ban at the start of this season. Asked if he’s been told he will play, Brady said, “I’m always prepared to go”.

With the Patriots’ love of keeping roster decisions quiet until the last minute, we likely won’t know if Brady will play a snap until he either hits the field with his helmet on or when the game is over and he never got under center.

Brady was also absent after not being on the sideline for his second straight preseason game. I’m just taking the advice of Coach, and whatever he wants to do, I’m going to do everything I can to be ready to go when I am called upon.

Both he and supermodel wife Gisele follow an extremely strict diet that they impose at home with their three children: John, Vivian and Benjamin. “In the meantime, I’m just trying to prepare this week like I would have last year and the year before, and try to just prepare the best I can so I can be the best quarterback that I can for this team”.

The website didn’t say when more would be available or how many were sold. “Every player develops throughout the course of their career as they gain experience”. It was just a silly accident. It’s been busy with the practices and so forth, and we still have a couple of important weeks for this training, for this phase of the season. “It’s one of those things where if you start worrying about that, then you can’t focus on whatever it is – your reads, your checks, whatever it may be”. Brady got the ultimate free pass when he was allowed to play in the Super Bowl.
