Brady misses Wednesday's practice

**Knox Harrington** · 01-18-2012, 03:55 PM

I have no doubt he plays this week, but this is a bit odd that the Pats would just give him a day off 4 days before the AFC Championship game because of a sore left shoulder.

Believe it or not they do this regularly. He's had a mid week day off for a while. He did injury his non throwing shoulder on week 16 vs. Miami,

It's a non issue

Says there are 18 Patriots on the injury report. That is quite lengthy. Would be interesting to see that injury report.

dude.... I don't know that much about Brady's practice schedule, but there is zero chance he misses an entire practice 4 days prior to a Championship game if something is not up

It's a non-issue if it's Week 7 vs. the Jaguars. It is an issue if it Week 19 vs. the Ravens for the AFC Championship game.

Belichik is such an abuser and twister of truth in regards to the injury list that I wouldn't read anything into their injury report until the whistle blows on Sunday and someone's wearing street clothes.

As someone once said, Belichik plays the injury report like a flute.

**RavnFreek** · 01-18-2012, 04:05 PM

Who knows with Billicheck, that guys does some shady stuff to create smoke and mirrors.

He does this all the time. Same last week against Denver. It's not like he can't study the gameplan. I'm telling you as a Pats fan who follows he team, the Pats do this all the time to give his arm rest.

**Knox Harrington** · 01-18-2012, 04:07 PM

guys, It's one thing when Belicheck (or anyone for that matter) lists their players as limited or full partipants in practice. It's entirely different to miss the Wednesday practice (arguably the most important day of practice because the game plan is installed that day).

Look, he obviously plays on Sunday. But there could be an injury that might affect his play? You don't just take a day off before a game like this unless you are hurt.

It says he practiced last Wednesday and was not listed on the injury report by the end of the week.

**HoustonRaven** · 01-18-2012, 04:13 PM

This happens almost every week with Brady.

Non story.

**NCRAVEN** · 01-18-2012, 04:17 PM

Brady is 100% going to play, he is fine. They rested him several times towards the end of the year., you know damn well he is sitting in the coaches office jacking off to tape of Ed reed...

Is Volmer any good?

Also Mark Anderson (not sure if he is any good, I konw very little about the Pats this year) went out last game any word on him.

Yes you are correct. They has him on the injury report but he did practice. But he has missed Wednesdays before. It is more common than you think here. I'm not worried about Tom. Now our Defense......

**Ravenswintitle** · 01-18-2012, 04:20 PM

Precautionary. Not sure how he could've been inujured last week, he wasn't touched.

As everyone keeps saying it's a non issue.

Gisele had to work today and brady had to babysit, happens all the time. Shoulder injury is as good an excuse as any.

**wickedsolo** · 01-18-2012, 05:50 PM

It was manicure/pedicure day at Gilette Stadium. Tommi never misses those sessions.

Vollmer is the Patriots best OT, but he has been banged up all year. Solder has filled in often, and very well.

Anderson is their best pass rusher now that Carter is on the shelf. He came back in the Broncos game itself (after I almost went into cardiac arrest) and should be fine for Sunday.
