The fact that Brady targeted Thompkins so much bodes well, right? Obviously only 4/14 connected, but Kenbrell must be doing something right to get so many passes from a QB who is notorious for taking whatever defenses give him.

Well, he did target Joey Galloway 12 times in their 2009 Week 2 loss to the Jets as well (5 catches, 53 yards) and we know what happened there. But you have to like that Brady kept going to him, even when it was clear they weren’t on the same page in this one. The thing to watch is how many targets he has this week and going forward especially once Amendola is back. That will be the true test.
