Keep your eye on Brandon Spikes

And here's the good news thank god for effort just perfect schedule there. Can be thankful for the small things and like -- The big series between the rays and the Red Sox start tomorrow what do we have tonight what we have to buy the music. The music. That that. And to. I don't not. -- Okay. It's not quite but still. But got football tonight. We've got the public times what you see this. This phrase is not just the third pre season games and green told during the open. It's the all important third pre season game to get the all import all those things that an idea. The game where -- seat. The most the most time for the patriots players. You'll be seeing in September and October not guys we're going to be cut -- we go see Tom Brady. An extended action tonight. As he Wes Welker -- Randy Moss Jerod Mayo spikes. Look at the secondary. And that there are many things to again it's not such great competition. Honestly but -- great competition but that you've got to play these guys at the it's the third -- again got a plan here you are gonna do a four game. I really wanna continue to see. How Brandon spikes. How -- place. Because I've always I've always felt this way if you take a guy. In the second round. We don't we focus on first round picks okay the first tropics to play a second round pick to play too especially if you're drafting a guy. At linebacker in the second round. I think you should be able to play. Fairly quickly I think spikes is gonna be their starter at inside linebacker I do to -- and we've seen that before we've seen second and third round picks. And linebacker here in New England we've seen them step into his starting roles pretty quickly or significant roles quickly look at the second -- Ted Johnson. And now I think it was 95. You drive 95 -- 961 of them. Comes and there's a run -- linebacker. That he was a Colorado. I think Brandon spikes is gonna step -- and he's gonna be a hammer and hope will be as effective as Ted Johnson. But this guy watch him tonight if you haven't paid attention to 55. It's hard not to put that number. Gonna be very impressed not only does he get it not only. Does he can -- can find a ball and is an easy instinctive. -- specimen. Under this demand out there you you know it's hard to it's hard to remember that he was a college student. A few months ago there's got looks like he's belong he he belongs to a quick he's been in the league for the three or four years so don't wanna watch spikes. I wanna watch the secondary -- particularly interest that there and the defensive line. Because you -- you lost Jarvis Green last year to create a steel -- You lost I Warren to injury. And Richard Seymour has been gone for a year. Probably replace that what are they gonna do to come up with some semblance of a pass -- Critical question for the patriots.
