The call to play Michael Bishop continues to gain momentum in the Boston media. Patriots quarterback Michael Bishop ran for a touchdown past a trio of Carolina Panthers defenders in August. The call to play Michael Bishop continues to gain momentum in the Boston media. Columnist Kevin Mannix of The Boston Herald American used his Monday column to call for more playing time in the season's final four games for the former Kansas State quarterback, who toils to get off the New England Patriots' bench but was elevated to their No. 2 spot prior to Monday night's game against Kansas City. He may not know the entire offense, but he's learned enough to move ahead of Tom Brady on the depth chart.
Any progress is significant progress.
Drew Bledsoe, on the other hand, knows the entire offense. He sees through disguised defenses and recognizes where the openings are. He's unable to get the ball where it has to go. He can't throw the ball deep with any accuracy and he admits to struggling when he has to throw on the run, something that's a regular part of this offense. Going to Bishop wouldn't amount to mailing in the rest of the season.
