Patriots Playbook

[Southieinnc]

We are 5-1 and that's good. Pats fans recognize that some stuff is not what we hoped.

Idea.... Is it possible that the game plan changed for Garappolo, then again for Brissett?
Now it has changed again for Brady. That could get your game a "little off"
Perhaps this is just we're playing the 3rd game of the season (with Brady playing and practicing) and we are playing against teams that have been playing their game plan for 10 weeks?

You have to understand that Brady has access to the entire Patriots' Playbook. He's been part and parcel to the book's creation. It's as much a part of Brady as it is Josh McDaniels. Jimmy Garapollo had access to about 60% of the playbook and Brissett had possibly 20% at his disposal. Everyone else just does what they're told to do by whomever is playing QB.

Brady wasn't just sitting on his ass during his 4 week hiatis. He worked out for an entire week with Wes Welker. He also worked out a week with a local guy that he's worked with for the past 10 years. He also spent a week and a half working out with local Boston high school teams throwing full speed to some of the biggest HS players in New England and more important, some of the smallest he's ever thrown to. It's been noted that Brady may have thrown as many as 2000 passes during those four weeks. He's only been back 2 weeks and thrown for 776 yards and 6 TDs. At this rate he'll throw for over 4000 yards 36 TDs for 12 games. There are QBs that won't come close to that in 16.

Don't disagree with any of that Ken,
My point is while all these changes have been happening, the OTHER players have been trying to settle in.....

The Patriots are reportedly 'holding back' parts of their playbook for later in the season — and it should terrify the rest of the NFL

Hopefully it's on the def side of the ball, and they actually have plays where they can get to the QB...LOL
