Tom Brady wants to play a considerable amount in New England's preseason game against Philadelphia on Thursday. "Yeah, I'm ready, I think everybody's ready," said Brady, according to NFL.com. "We've had a good camp, guys have been working real hard trying to do what coach [Bill] Belichick's asked. It will be nice to go out and play the Eagles. They really gave it to us last year (in the preseason)." Brady hadn't spoken to Belichick about playing as of Tuesday afternoon. "I'm expecting to play," Brady said. "There's no reason why I wouldn't. I've been out here and doing everything. It'll be nice to get out there and play some football."
