the rumors during the week and I, you know, I kind of like,
lent towards like, okay, that offensive line,
you know, where they going to be at Brady's, been missed
an extended period of time, has some personal issues, I don't
think he'll play, but played it was great to see
and played. Well, I mean, the one thing about Brady again
here, you just see some of these throws. This is the third
down right before. He converted a fourth down here, the next
play it.
So comfortable. I feel like early and Priests Season. Even
back in his New England days. He'd be a little jumpy.
Very comfortable, the pocket, the protection great, here's
Julio Jones. I mean Tom Brady to 45 years old, just threw
a 30-yard out route. I just, that's where I want everybody
to understand. How great is our MS.
I mean, really, if we could rewind that two plays to go to
the Julio Jones. He's arm is as good as ever as we've talked
about Mike. It's really, it's special. It's the fact that he
could just rip the ball down the field, the way he can still
at his age, you could see
the pace on it right there,
but two throws. I'm here, it's impressive and it really is
that
his arm can look like that at the age of 40, by this one
to Julio
6, to 8, 44 yards, 44 yard Drive, field goal, attempt
converted, the fourth down as we saw earlier
and one drive and that was that, but that was more than
I think. Anyone thought we were going to see from Tom Brady in
the preseason, especially after he missed 11 days
for personal reasons and
he's back and it's clear now. He's back
and he's not going anywhere else. There isn't going to be
a Hiatus during the season. He is going to leave the team high
and dry. He is there he is locked in good news for
the Buccaneers bad news for everyone they have to play.
Yeah no definitely the Bucks. Just have the look. You know
the big question mark I think is what we just you know
discussed a little bit the offensive line which looked
really good in that first drive but I will say the next Drive
the Colts defensive starters were still in against that same
group even though Brady was out with gabbard in and, you know,
I'm not sitting here going, oh, I'm sold at that interior. Part
of the old lines, going to be great or dominant. They'll be
good. They're going to be good enough. Are they going to be
dominant? I don't know about that. We will see there there.
Certainly showed a little, you know, cracks in the seam is a,
the next drive went on, but man, the rest of the team.
Mike. Yes. I mean, you say it, the receivers we know, or we
got weapons. They're still good tight ends without Gronkowski
for Nets. Powerful
linebacker Duo's. Been
maybe as good as anybody in football, we know they got
young corners and Good safeties, great pass rushers.
So
I mean, as long as Brady can look, the way he did the other
night. I think we're in the same boat that the Bucks are
one of those teams to, you know, put a little star next to
to go there Super Bowl caliber, no doubt about it.
That interior, offensive line, though, continues to be
a concern, we know Ryan Jensen suffered a knee injury early in
Camp. They still don't have a clear diagnosis on what
the injury is apparently because
the swelling still hasn't gone down which
I think tells us
a little scary. Probably, probably not. What a month
later if they still can't tell what's going on in there.
Probably not going to be back this season. Robert Haynes e,
who replaced him. He exited with an ankle injury on
Saturday night.
Nick Leverett, who was
competing with haensi?
Moved from guard to Center he injured his shoulder so they are
deep on the depth chart. I've missed a lever injury, I didn't
even realize that. Yeah wow and and they've had the air. To
stinney injury last week. He's out for the year Shaq. Mason
the only projected starter who
is still fine in that three-person interior, which is
the weak spot for the
the offensive line. Anytime you're talking about Tom Brady.
He can move up in the pocket and he can slip around the guys
coming from the outside. But it's when it comes up
the middle, that it can be a problem. And
and I think that's
that's where the concern will be,
but when you get rid of the ball as fast as he does, sure it
just doesn't Mater. The ball is snapped to him, he takes a step
or two and it's gone. And we've seen him develop and an uncanny
ability to do that. And also
we've seen when all else fails, he just gets rid of the ball.
He even if it's throw it up for grabs is going to avoid taking
that hit whenever he can.
