faba Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Belichick silent on Brady's absence FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - Tom Brady missed his third straight practice on Monday, but New England coach Bill Belichick didn't say why his quarterback was absent from Patriots training camp. Advertisment http://a.tribalfusion.com/i.ad?site=TheRedZone&adSpace=ROS&size=336x280&requestID=656862598 "Guys that aren't out here, it's either because of their practice routine or they are day-to-day," he said. He wouldn't reveal which reason applied to Brady. "We don't do the individual report," Belichick said. "That comes during the regular season when we do the injury reports." Brady was listed as probable on the injury report all last season and played every game. He participated in all four practices on Friday and Saturday, the first two days of camp, but missed Sunday's single session and both of Monday's practices. That left No. 2 quarterback Matt Cassel to play a bigger role. He is entering his second season after seeing little playing time at Southern California. "Matt has gotten a lot of work through the spring and in training camp," Belichick said. "He's done some good things. There are some other things he could do better, but that's training camp. He's working hard. That's what counts." He was less forthcoming when asked about how Brady has looked in camp. "We're not going to get into big evaluations of players," Belichick said. "I think all the players are trying to get back into their timing and their routine and that goes for everybody." The holdout of Deion Branch, Brady's top wide receiver, reached its fourth day Monday. He wants a new contract in the fifth and final year of his original deal and is subject to a $14,000 fine for each day he misses camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Our sources in Patriot camp tell us Brady won't start practicing until week 3 of the regular season. Okay, we don't have sources but it is nice to dream. Plus no Branch? Man that ship is sinking. Good thing Mangini got out when he did. You wouldn't want your name associated with that train wreck.

Pats will easily win their 4th consectutive AFCE title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not having two guys who have won 3 super bowl MVP's between them is not a concern...cut back on the prozac pal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Ron Borges today reported that when he tried to interview Tom Brady at camp that he said "no comment" like an adult. But when he still asked again anyway, Brady threw his purse at King and ran away, across the street through traffic like a timid little girl.

Garb Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 This means nothing.....just like Seymour not being in camp because of some weird collective bargaining agreement amendment that states a player can't sign a re-negotiated contract (RS last year) until the date it goes in effect. Therefore the Pats and Sey have a wink-wink agreement that he would report today or tommorrow. Of course, no one knew this until someone leaked the story yesterday. Poor, poor, desperate Jest fans.
