Bring your playbook."
(I know that’s all done on a tablet now; stop correcting me.)
Presumably it’s done with a phone call or a Zoom and not a text.
But the net effect is the same.
There’s someone younger and possibly better, though most likely cheaper, to take your place.
Just like you once took some older guy’s place.
It’s a Circle of Life thing.
Still, it sucks.
Especially when it’s someone as universally appreciated as Andrews.
Member of the Two Ring Club.
A guy who snapped the ball to Tom Brady almost 4,000 times during the Super Bowl seasons of 2016-18.
Then capped that run off with a dominating performance in the Super Bowl against the Rams.
Andrews had 41 passing snaps and surrendered just two pressures.
The Super Bowl before that?
And yet Andrews finest hour (closer to four hours) was against Atlanta in Super Bowl LI.
And as the games I just mentioned would indicate, he was just getting started.
In all, Andrews played nine seasons in 10 years.
Not bad for an UDFA out of Georgia.
I never understood what the scouts missed in him.
All I know is that he’ll be missed.
All the way to the Patriots Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.
