Stray Arrows: Brady Punch
Posted by: Adam Best
So much for the Chiefs getting lucky and catching a break. Looks like Tom Brady will suit up for the Patriots come opening day. Because of that, this is one opening day that I’m actually dreading to some degree. From ESPN:
Tom Brady hasn’t played in the preseason, but the New England Patriots’ franchise quarterback said Monday he expects to play in the team’s season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs.
“If I don’t play [Thursday, when the Patriots play the Giants in their preseason finale] then I’ll be ready for Kansas City,” Brady said on an appearance on WEEI Radio’s Dennis & Callahan Show.
How does everybody else feel about this development? What’s the over/under on Tom Brady-to-Randy Moss TDs? Let it out, folks…
If he’s going to start in one game or the other, I’d rather he warm up with the Chiefs than with the Giants. If we have any shot at all, it will come as a result of “Mr. Indispensable” being a tad rusty and/or out-of-sync.
I hope the first play involves Brandon Flowers stepping across and flattening Moss before the ball is even snapped. Take the penalty, set the tone.
Over/under on Brady to Moss TDs – I’ll go over 2. I have an even bigger concern about how we’re going to manage Welker.

August 25th, 2008 at 4:20 pmblitz Heavy and if you reach him, hit him hard. This should be a great game. I reckon we can win it.
August 25th, 2008 at 6:57 pmLearn from the G-men of last season and Superbowl Champs! I agree Tim. Let’s face it.. Tom is going to get some if not most passes out none the less, so just take from the film room, study and PRESSURE and BLITZ and hope for the best!
Do it enough and if we get to him (T the Lucky man Simpson) enough times and two or more sacks I believe it will call the rest of the game for us. Especially in my opinion or D will be a slight better then our O.
CHIEFS!!!
