Patriots quarterback Tom Brady wants to participate in all four of the team's preseason games. Brady missed all four preseason games in 2008 because of a foot injury, and wonders if more participation would have helped him avoid the season-ending knee injury he suffered in Week 1 of last season. "It was unfortunate that I wasn't out there last year because hopefully that really could've helped me out in terms of my timing for the first game," Brady said yesterday in an interview on Sirius Satellite Radio's Mad Dog Channel. "You never know if I could've avoided the hit that I took had I been out there to understand the presence in the pocket. So I want to be out there to participate." With a brace on his knee, Brady hopes to approach the 2009 season differently. "We've got four preseason games," the quarterback added. "If I play in all of them, I'd be very happy about that."
