It is secure to say this duo has some fairly good chemistry after simply two video games.
“Yeah, it is rising. Clearly in direction of the tail finish of coaching camp he wasn’t on the market as a lot, however getting him again into the rhythm and circulation of the offense, he is a very good participant,” Brissett stated in his postgame press convention when requested about Henry.
“Clearly had a bunch of fine performs as we speak, and it is plenty of enjoyable having him on my aspect of the ball. I simply look ahead to progressing that relationship and chemistry and persevering with to make extra performs.”
An excellent tight finish could be a invaluable asset for any quarterback, and Henry has crammed that position all through his three-plus seasons in New England. The Patriots re-signed a lot of their very own free brokers in the course of the offseason, and maybe crucial deal was to bring back Henry on a three-year contract price a most of $30 million.
The Patriots passing assault has been fairly lackluster by means of two weeks. With out Henry, it will be an absolute catastrophe. He is one of many few pass-catchers on the workforce who can get open on a constant foundation.
