"Any time you can go against someone other than your teammates, its always a good measurement of where youre at," he said after practice on Monday before the Patriots left for Philadelphia, where they will hold joint practices and play a preseason game against the Eagles. "Going out and practicing with them and then going out to play against them, its going to be a pretty good indicator of where we are as a team and as individuals." The Patriots practiced in shorts and shoulder pads on Monday, working on situational plays like Hail Marys and hard counts. They were scheduled to fly to Philadelphia in the afternoon for two days of joint practices. The exhibition season opens on Friday night against the Eagles. Patriots coach Bill Belichick said the coaches had not decided whether quarterback Tom Brady will play in Friday nights game. Brady typically plays about two series in the first preseason game, though in 2011 he did not play at all. "We really havent even talked about that," he said. "Well have those discussions as we get closer to the game." Belichick said the joint practices will help thhe Patriots see some different things -- and former Oregon coach Chip Kellys offence is more different than most.dddddddddddd With the Ducks, Kelly played a fast-paced offence that averaged 83 plays per game in 2012 and ranked in the top 10 in total plays twice in four years. "Well have to make adjustments down there," Belichick said. "Theyre running a new coaching staff, new scheme, new system; they have some new players. So were not really doing a whole lot of scouting and preparation for them. Well just see what we get out there. Well have to react to it and adjust to it, but that will be good for us as well." Wilfork said the Eagles "have a bunch of talent" and said Kelly gives them a new look. "Were looking forward to having the chance to go down and work against a good football team, a young team, a new head coach thats coming in with a little swagger that hes bringing from college," he said. "Well see where were at." Also Monday, the Patriots signed two rookie free agents to their roster. Offensive lineman Matt Stankiewitch, 23, started all 25 games at centre as a junior and senior at Penn State and was a team captain for the East in the East-West Shrine game. Mike Zupancic, 23, was a three-year letter-earner as the long snapper at Eastern Michigan. ' ' '
