Julian Edelman Not Looking Past Bills To Tom Brady’s Patriots Return
Share this: FOXBORO, Mass. — Tom Brady’s return is on the horizon, but the New England Patriots have to temper their enthusiasm for a few more days. The Patriots aren’t the type of team to look past an opponent, and they have a game against the Buffalo Bills before Brady’s four-game suspension ends midnight Monday morning. “We got a game before that, so when he comes back, we’ll be happy,” Edelman said Friday. “But we got a job ahead of us with the Buffalo Bills.” The Bills are 1-2 and coming off an impressive 33-18 win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 3. The Patriots have gone 3-0 without their starting quarterback. Jimmy Garoppolo started the Patriots’ first two games before injuring his shoulder
Patriots Reportedly ‘Comfortable If They Have To’ Start Julian Edelman At QB
Share this: The New England Patriots’ Week 4 matchup with the Buffalo Bills still is a week away, which gives quarterbacks Jimmy Garoppolo and Jacoby Brissett valuable time to heal. But what if injuries to Garoppolo’s shoulder and Brissett’s thumb don’t allow them to take the field next Sunday against the Bills? “Signing another quarterback is regarded, as I’m told, a last resort for the Patriots because, No. 1 they don’t want to have to cut somebody to create a roster spot for a quarterback, but No. 2 they actually would prefer to go with a Julian Edelman, even though he hasn’t played quarterback since college, because he knows the offense inside and out,” ProFootballTalk’s Mike Florio reported on “Sunday Night Football”. “You
Report: Patriots ‘Hopeful’ Jimmy Garoppolo, Jacoby Brissett Both Can Play Vs. Bi…
Share this: The New England Patriots don’t have a single healthy quarterback on their active roster as of Sunday, but they’re apparently still feeling good about their QB situation entering Week 4. The Patriots are “hopeful and confident” that they’ll have “at least one, possibly two” quarterbacks available for next Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills, team sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter. That means incumbent starter Jimmy Garoppolo and rookie backup Jacoby Brissett, both of whom have seen time while Tom Brady serves his four-game suspension for Deflategate. Garoppolo suffered a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder in Week 3, but New England feels he is “definitely is making progress” in his recovery, the source told Schefter. There were reports early last week that
NFL Network Reveals Top 10 Patriots Of All Time; Tom Brady Headlines List
Share this: It’s not easy to whittle all the New England Patriots greats into a top 10, but the NFL Network gave it a crack Friday night in “Top 10: New England Patriots.” And while it’s hard to argue with most of the picks, there were some interesting choices. Now, one thing you can’t argue with is Tom Brady as the No. 1 Patriot of all time. Brady already arguably is the greatest quarterback in NFL history, so he was a lock at the top of this list. While many of the selections were from the past two decades, there were a few legends on the list. Pro Football Hall of Famers John Hannah (No. 2), Andre Tippett (No. 4) and Mike Haynes (No. 5) all made the top
Patriots Smother Texans With Special Teams In Dominant Thursday Night Win
by Zack Cox on Fri, Sep 23, 2016 at 1:11AM 1,550 Share this: FOXBORO, Mass. — Jamie Collins was the MVP of the New England Patriots’ Thursday night victory over the Houston Texans, racking up 14 tackles to go along with one interception and one pass breakup. But Ryan Allen was a very close second. Yes, the punter. Allen was phenomenal in New England’s 27-0 win, pinning Houston inside its own 20-yard line on each of his seven punts. In fact, the Texans finished the game without a single punt return yard — zero. Five of Allen’s punts were fair-caught, and two were downed by the Patriots’ coverage team, including one at the 5-yard line with less than seven minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. “Man, that was unbelievable,” Patriots special
Patriots Pick Six: Jamie Collins, Malcolm Butler Star Vs. Texans In Win
FOXBORO, Mass. — It turns out the New England Patriots were just fine without Jimmy Garoppolo. Oh, and Tom Brady, Dont’a Hightower, Dion Lewis, Sebastian Vollmer and a good 80 percent of Rob Gronkowski. The Patriots embarrassed the Houston Texans 27-0 with rookie Jacoby Brissett at quarterback. The nicest thing one could say about the Texans’ offense is they crossed the 50-yard line. And it took them until late in the third quarter to do so. This Patriots team could be historically good when Brady returns. Here are the Patriots’ six stars of the game.
