6 rings: Exploring Potential Landing Spots for Bill Belichick Assuming He Departs After the Season
"I’ve told all the players the same thing, be ready to go. So, hopefully they will be... I’ll let you know on Sunday."
That's what Patriots head coach Bill Belichick told the media on Tuesday morning when asked who his starting quarterback will be this coming Sunday versus the Giants.
The vague mystique surrounding the question would, admittedly, have folks on their toes if the team wasn't 2-8. However, at this point, it sort of just feels like a bogus 'I know something you don't know' as New England's franchise as we knew it falls apart at the seams.
Anyway, the Pats hit the practice field on Tuesday with the most important position still very much a mystery. Here's what stood out from the session:
Attendance:
Absent:
None.
IR:
CB Marcus Jones
DL Daniel Ekuale
CB Christian Gonzalez
LB Matthew Judon
OT Riley Reiff
OT Tyrone Wheatley Jr.
WR Kendrick Bourne
Other Notes:
- The Patriots had perfect attendance on Tuesday coming out of their bye-week. No absences.
- Of note in this now QB competition, Mac Jones took the first reps and Bailey Zappe followed/rotated in during routes-on-air. Will Grier did not take a snap during the media portion of practice .
