The Patriots have now scored 76 points in the past seven days.Their offense seems to
be clicking and everything is working right now. Or is it? There’s one guy who
just hasn’t looked totally right yet. He is the most important player on the
team
New England
Patriots Hoodie , and possibly the best player in the league. His name is
Tom Brady.Some people will say it’s his age, and some will say it’s because some
weapons have been out. I think it’s probably a combination of many things, those
being two of them. I also think he’s trying to build a rapport with new guys
like Josh Gordon, Jacob Hollister, and Sony Michel. The Patriots have also been
pretty predictable so far, which allows defenses to be confident in the defense
they’re choosing. Whatever the reasons, Brady has been off the first five games
of the season. His interception number is higher than normal, but both of his on
Thursday night were both good passes that were dropped and wound up being picked
off. Even still, six interceptions through five games is startling. Forget the
pace

than nine interceptions in a season was 2013, and he’s only done it three times
since 2006. Even without the interception numbers, just go off the eye test.
He’s missed throws to open receivers, and just flat out hasn’t seen other
players open on the field. Do I think this means he’s about to fall off the
proverbial cliff? Not at all. I bring it up for two reasons:1.) It bears
watching. If for some reason Brady never shakes off the rust and looks like the
Brady of last year and countless other years, then the Patriots are obviously in
trouble.2.) Imagine how good this offense will be when Tom is firing on all
cylinders!! With Julian Edelman, Rob Gronkowski, Josh Gordon, and James White,
it’s impossible to play man coverage against the Patriots.And we should all know

if you play zone against Brady, he will shred you. Assuming that Brady gets back
to his previous level, the Patriots are still the team to beat in the AFC. With
the way the defense has played the last two weeks, combined with the offense
they will have, I don’t know how beats them.Brady gets another chance to really
take off next Sunday against the Chiefs, who’s offense has been amazing, but
who’s defense has really struggled. That should be a good thing for the Patriots
and especially Brady.The game could have potential home field advantage
implications, so it would be a great time for Tom to finally play a great game
this year. If he does, the rest of the league better look out. Pat is the host

reportedly work out a trio of
players
New
England Patriots T-Shirt , including a familiar face The New England
Patriots’ personnel department has been busy the last two days. On Monday, the
team released two players and moved a third one to injured reserve, before
filling the open roster spots again on Tuesday: the Patriots signed a pair of
wide receivers and also brought in a running back. While the roster is at the
53-man maximum right now, more moves could follow in the near future.Yesterday,
as first reported by ESPN Boston’s Mike Reiss, the team worked out three more
free agents. Let’s take a look at them:RB Orleans DarkwaDarkwa originally
entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2014. After a short stint with the
Miami Dolphins, he was signed by the New York Giants late during his rookie
season. The Tulane product was quickly able to establish himself with the team
as a depth running back and core special teamer that saw his role grow over the
next three years. In 2017, he finally became a regular member of the Giants’
rotation at the position. The result was a career performance: Darkwa finished
with 190 touches for 867 yards and five touchdowns.RB Charles SimsSims also
joined the NFL in 2014, albeit as a third-round draft pick by the Tampa Bay
Buccaneers. A versatile
back

four years with the team and registered 245 carries for 958 yards and two
touchdowns as well as 129 catches for 1,190 yards and six scores. Despite his
experience, however, Sims was a relative afterthought during this year’s free
agency. He eventually re-joined the Buccaneers but was placed on injured reserve
in late August. A week later, he was released with an injury settlement.WR
Brandon TateTate is the most experienced of the three free agents to work out
for the Patriots – and a familiar face: the 2009 third-round draft pick spent
the first two years of his career with New England as a depth wide receiver and
kickoff returner. After failing to make the team’s 2011 squad, Tate joined the
Cincinnati Bengals – he now is the franchise’s all-time leader in return yardage
– and later the Buffalo Bills. Tate spent the summer with the New Orleans Saints
but was released during final cutdowns.While it would not be a surprise to see
one of the three players added to the squad at one point further down the line,
it would be a surprise if a move happened this week: the Patriots already added
three new players this week and will likely first try to see how they respond to
the challenge before making potential additional moves.
