What message did Tom Brady give Ty Simpson?

Ty Simpson was taking part in a Fanatics event when he was gifted a message of encouragement and a signed jersey, all from Tom Brady. The video is below, as is the quote from Brady to Simpson and it’s all very wholesome.

If you can forget for a moment that Brady won two Super Bowls over the Los Angeles Rams it’s even more wholesome.

Says Brady through a video to Simpson,

“Hi Ty, do me a favor. Underneath that chair I left you something. I wanted to provide you a little bit of inspiration on your journey ahead. There are very high expectations for you as a first pick. Every day you approach the field you’re out there, you’re out there to make your teammates better. And I wish you the very best of luck in everything that you’re doing. Keep up the great work and I’m cheering for you every step of the way.”

Brady is a part owner of the Las Vegas Raiders. He has millions, maybe billions, of reasons to want to see number overall pick Fernando Mendoza play better than Simpson. Even still, it’s a cool message from Brady to Simpson and Simpson appears so giddy about the whole affair, it’s all quite endearing.

Keep enjoying the preseason.

“Simpson’s reaction was unguarded. He laughed as he opened the package, gasped at what was inside and struggled to put into words what the gesture meant to him — visibly stunned by the gift. Simpson called it one of the most meaningful moments of his young career so far.”

McVay: Nacua still has soreness in groin (nbcsports)

“Nacua suffered a groin injury nearly a week ago and is still dealing with soreness. McVay said last week that he expects Nacua to return sometime this week, but the starting receiver was not on the field during Monday’s practice. McVay didn’t say which day he expects Nacua to be back, noting that the team prefers to “err on the side of caution” with soft-tissue injuries.“

“NFL sacks leader Garrett did individual workouts before the Rams’ practice Monday, while NFL receptions leader Nacua has done conditioning work and weight training despite the soreness in his core muscles.

“Any time you’re talking about soft tissue, especially with a skill player, or a knee with a guy that does some of the things Myles is doing, we’re going to err on the side of caution,” McVay said.“

“Simpson was runner-up to Drew Allar, who had a phenomenal debut for the Pittsburgh Steelers, tossing two touchdowns and rushing for another. Simpson also edged out fellow first-round quarterback Fernando Mendoza, who finished third.

Simpson will have another chance to display his passing prowess this week against New Orleans.“

McVay: Approach to quarterback usage in preseason Week 2 vs. Saints will be predicated on Tuesday’s practice and Thursday’s joint practice (therams.com)

“When asked whether he anticipates using them the same way this Saturday against the Saints (1 p.m. PT, CBS LA) , McVay said Monday he has not made that decision yet, but it would be informed by how Tuesday’s practice and Thursday’s joint practice with New Orleans go.

“A large part of that decision will be predicated on what happens on Tuesday, and then a lot of it, especially with what happens on Thursday,” McVay said after Monday’s practice. “I’m hopeful that we’re able to get as many reps as we did against Dallas. New Orleans has a practice against the Cowboys on Tuesday. Hopefully, they come out of that thing healthy, and we’re able to get what (Saints head coach) Kellen (Moore) and I have talked about as the workload for our ones and twos. That’ll be great situational work and great ability to be able to move the ball all over the field.”

“Moton wrote that Simpson “picked apart” Kansas City’s defense after entering the game in the second quarter. The rookie’s efficiency was tough to ignore, as he completed 84% of his attempts, averaged 7.6 yards per pass and delivered both of his touchdown throws to running back Dean Connors.

Still, B/R observed that the Chiefs had removed their top pass rushers before Simpson’s first series, so he worked through his reads against a preseason defense made up largely of reserves.“

“The Rams received an 85.3 overall score, in the “very good” range; a 73.75 score for quarterback, 24th in the NFL; a 95 score for coaching, best in the league; and an 83.25 score for front office.

Reason for hope moving forward

The Rams are tricky to rank because we don’t know for certain whether coach Sean McVay, who has contemplated retirement, will stay in Los Angeles after quarterback Matthew Stafford hangs up the pads,” ESPN’s Ben Solak wrote, calling it the Rams’ reason for hope moving forward.”

“As McVay has said before when it comes to injuries and key players, he’s stressing that both Garrett and Nacua need to come back and perform at a high level.

“It gets to a point where, hey, we need our guys out there to be able to practice to get ready to simulate what’s going to be a great, long, challenging season,” McVay said. “No matter how great you are when you’re in those guys’ roles, we need to be able to get them out there. But we want to make sure that it’s a return to performance, not just return to play.”

Additionally, McVay noted offensive lineman Keagan Trost and receiver Mario Williams are likely to miss a few weeks as both are dealing with hamstring injuries.“
