The expectation is for Patriots quarterback Tom Brady to take some snaps in Thursday night’s preseason opener against the Philadelphia Eagles, marking his first live action since undergoing reconstructive left knee surgery in October. Patriots coach Bill Belichick, however, has yet to acknowledge whether he plans on using Brady in the game. He claimed yesterday he had not spoken to Brady about playing in the game.
WR Joey Galloway hasn’t been as explosive as some expected at this point, but he can contribute 25-35 receptions as a No. 3 receiver and put stress on a defense when paired with Randy Moss and Wes Welker.
Bill Belichick found a way to stop receiver Greg Lewis from tormenting his New England Patriots – trade for him. Lewis made the first touchdown catch of his career while playing for the Eagles against the Patriots in the Super Bowl in 2005. He had two touchdown catches in a 2007 game against the Pats, nearly derailing their undefeated regular season.
“Greg has always killed us,” Belichick said recently. “Every time we’ve played him, he’s killed us. We haven’t been able to cover him very well, so that kind of catches your attention.” “He’s a guy that we’ve had a lot of interest in, and I think he’s a good fit in our system,” Belichick said.
