Patriots | Bill Belichick to watch younger players closely Thursday

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said he will watch to see how his younger players adjust on the fly against plays and personnel that they will see for the first time Thursday, Aug. 26, when they play the St. Louis Rams in their third preseason game, reports Robert Lee, of The Providence Journal. Belichick added, ""What can they take from classroom or in the past two weeks, what can they take from practice and then apply to game situations. I think we have seen a lot of good examples of that: things that we've worked on in practice that then either the same or similar thing happened in the game and how we handled that and that certainly gives you an indication of how, not only a player, but also your whole team can adapt to those changes. It's the same thing as far as making halftime adjustments or in-game adjustments."
