Aren't I I I I tread into the next subject with a disclaimer. And disclaimer is as following these -- confirming any injury as it applies to the New England Patriots is virtually impossible. Because of the system. And the and the in the fortress they've established down there confirming any injury regarding quarterback Tom Brady. Is ten times more difficult but that can say that the -- Jessica okay and that's to say let me explain you how the system works as best I know it. Down in Foxborough Angela regarding injuries here's the deal. It's called the circle for. Especially for people. No what a player's injury the specific Yorkers were talking about Tom Brady the quarterback the first the ball he's going to play Sunday unless something happens in practice today tomorrow or going forward. Brady it's going to play on Sunday three different people in the organization told me that last night but Lester some sort of sat back and practiced Brady is starting Sunday. Having said that my. At least -- expression. Understand how things work down there the circle for is this ball pop knows what the injury is. The doctor knows what the injury is the trainer who's treating the injury obviously knows what the injury is. And the coach knows what the injury count those people people those are four people the circle for. Public relations doesn't know what the injury it is nor to they want to know because then you know they could slip -- but again beat out of them plausible -- you don't nobody can deny or confirm the offensive coordinator. Doesn't know somebody told that Josh McDaniel. Doesn't know what Tom Brady's injury can imagine that no -- and pedal does not know exactly what Tom Brady's injury is this is not laid down there the owner. Doesn't know. What Tom Brady's injury is and there are certain instances. That may be even the general manager doesn't know a list of course he's required to well good replacement for company it's most of this guy's injury is much worse of -- You know letting on goal get a replacement for him to talk and the player the doctor the trainer and the coach Izzo knows. I'm not so sure about. Not so sure about that do you think the air cast was in there because he usenet or because they play. And a joke in the media trusted to joke that Hutchinson of the joke that was a joke because it be -- if he needed it. It wouldn't be there your exactly right exactly right now. There are several people however. Outside of that circle for. Who have first hand knowledge of what happened and here's the story that I'm hearing. On about August 15 -- took an MRI people familiar with that memorize said Thursday cracked bone. In Tom Brady's foot -- slightly cracked me be a hairline crack maybe the difference between Carolina and stress fracture or whatever the case may be. He's going to play through it he is playing through he's practicing through it this is the reason we haven't seen him in games they can control practices they can have him do what they need him to do but not have anything unscheduled happened during practice again. Everybody involved in the story is saying that Thomas playing through it and unless something happens between now and Sunday Tom Brady will be your starting quarterback. Against the -- Sunday -- shall we don't. Know how this happened correct that's in the states secret of course he told secret. He told this show that it's different we was Felger.
Few weeks ago that it's not the same injury right right split as. The one who suffered a last season -- different that healed he get a new injury -- somewhere between the Super Bowl in. And August write these same -- in would have been surfing in Costa Rica could've been in training camp early on right. At some point he injured that same foot in a different.
now before everybody panics oh my god Tom Brady might have a slight fracture of crack in his foot. My guess he has if this is a really bad thing that they think utility along term deal would we have seen some veteran quarterback by now you with the guys August is.
Yeah if they were real concern on the part of Bill Belichick even though he likes. Matt Cassel more than most fans do right I still think could be a veteran in here and and we're only do whatever it is four days away. From kickoff. So it's too late so. That's why I assume Brady's.
Like -- well and also the term broken bone in the foot sounds bad but my guess is if if if the quarterback or running back or anybody who report any kind of mobility on Sunday afternoon. Had a choice between -- slightly cracked slightly -- old stress fracture in the foot. Or high ankle sprain as an example. I take this is my leaving the --
Yeah Upton of ankles as from the doctors should be better -- brought wrote -- I think might be like in and -- we discussed this with us when you. Take -- A pitcher's shoulder and and and and -- graphics and one reason Josh Beckett goes to William and amendment it Andrews. Is because he knows what pitches shall this look like the average doctor over at Mass. General. Would look up and it's great that yeah and get queasy. Look at that message does that he is -- to -- our pitchers shoulders look like at -- 3040 years of throwing. And that it doesn't necessarily mean they can't it's just doesn't look good and maybe NFL players. Maybe these little fractures. All them that that sure -- the Red Sox injury list guys are sitting down. And then that to a National Football League team and to start like that I went to podiatrist recently in -- it would -- you free -- I don't know I think its years of playing pickup basketball stepped on -- am yeah. Like mangled. -- But -- early yet early on he said he is that the issues as well unless they hurt. I'm I'm going to live -- it yet. Part of the game you know guys like Brady and me we suck at the Brady is -- Sunday. On or I I think it comes to to conclusions here eight. -- an injury and it's an issue. The it's not a big enough issue to keep him Don banks on this makes a good point he says we generally win you have these kind of mysterious. Injury stories issues. Sub plots -- in -- yeah there is an injury you know it's not. And keep them out and keep my under wrap and keep home office feet. As strictly a precaution for a while the guy that there is an.
Injuries have nothing to say -- what have taken snaps in meaningless pre season game with a makeshift offensive line in front of them. I think it goes to the next step when you say the -- get off your feet for 45 hours and don't steal of the silent to a great and beautiful things and in this case you really know why they're being secretive and if you Glenn Dorsey and you know what's left for Europe and Europe was that like he could take a bite out of exactly and put him out of commission and you face and Matt -- but -- we know there are injuries but this that the reason we don't know the circle for. The circle for and it remains contained -- but he gets out. Some in the circle for. As as -- Or something. Else weird I hardly enough that the -- it does not what I'm Tanya. To listen up somebody it's about evidence that they specifics right right it was a foot injury -- doesn't know that a man cracked cracked bone correct. You know why because you need to know I what does a cracked -- mean to use them elect me -- don't -- to me it means the guys. -- Kim moved from a different way you and him he's going to play this is actually going to play.
I think yeah the average person probably Wednesday camp one but he can still don't know and he hit well and beat -- it lasts like how long -- he -- just barely a month they were saying they were saying now for six weeks. Four to be totally point six weeks does that include playing in 45 NFL well everybody's pain tolerance that process is different which and -- So we're talking mid August were taught in mid September before Albert four to six weeks meaning if you -- air cast the -- elevated what you watch and TV ought to 46 weeks while you're preparing and playing in NFL -- yeah yeah well I don't know. You know and all. Two number four to six weeks of long should not getting hit -- for injuries while while fractious may not be as bad as injuries are often these mysterious and ability. You've lived through the economic real thing yeah yeah this foot injury knew that early days of foot injury played through they won the title. And it was a courageous performance -- what they -- and and you're thinking well just play throw in the and you have three months and rectal wall Neitzel Korea yeah but yet you play throw you finished. -- the playoffs and then its June you have to October. And it's -- the president right from the -- case animals case while in both those cases it's much -- think that Tom Brady utley that's probably -- grown toenail last week Melo and within the next.
