The Patriots and the Giants closed out the preseason with a classic 6-3 snoozer. The last practice game is often a snoozer. Not much more than a pick-up game. Unless you are one of the guys on either team fighting for the last few open roster spots. Then it was one of the biggest games of your life ... or possibly the last game.
For the Pats, guys like Jermaine Cunningham, Brandon Bolden, Jesse Holley, and Sergio Brown got one last chance to show they can help the team. Cunningham and Bolden had strong games, making a bid to stick on the roster when the final cutdowns to the 53-man roster are made on Friday.
The preseason was not very pretty for the Pats. There weren't too many fun moments. In fact, the most entertaining football I saw either on TV or at Gillette came last night during the broadcast when a film showed Brady, Hernandez, Branch, and Gronk playing some pick-up football on the New Jersey turf before the game. The video below shows Gronk trying to cover Brady.
The fun is about to start.
