FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Jimmy Garoppolo entered training camp last month knowing that for the first time in his two-year career he was preparing for his first NFL regular-season start.Patriots coach Bill Belichick has repeated throughout the preseason that New Englands priority at quarterback is to get Garoppolo ready for it.As that clock winds, so too does the one ticking toward the start of Tom Bradys four-game Deflategate suspension. Brady has yet to see the field during the preseason, but as the Patriots approach Fridays third preseason game at Carolina -- a game that traditionally brings extended playing time for starters -- it will be the best dry run that Garoppolo will have prior to the Sept. 11 season opener at Arizona.Whether Brady plays or not this week, the game clearly carries more importance for his understudy the past two seasons.This will be a good test, Garoppolo said. Its pretty much the closest thing well get to Week 1 and well see how it goes.Belichick acknowledged there has been at least some shift toward preparations for the Cardinals.We definitely have an eye on them, he said. Well tighten the focus going forward, but were certainly aware that is where were headed on opening day. I dont think we want to get into a situation early in the season where were knowingly doing something or dealing with something on a high-percentage basis that we havent even talked about up until that point.Brady made his first appearance at practice this week on Tuesday, days after his scheduled preseason debut against the Bears was scrubbed before kickoff when he accidentally cut his right thumb on scissors.The positive from Bradys mishap was it allowed Garoppolo to get extra snaps, and he showed progress from his first start against New Orleans. He played the entire first half and one series in the second half against the Bears, finishing 16 of 21 for 181 yards and a touchdown. He was 11 of 18 for 168 yards the week before against the Saints.He also seemed more comfortable in the pocket and throwing into tighter passing windows. The best example came on his lone touchdown throws, when he threaded a ball to tight end A.J. Derby in the back of the end zone.Garoppolo said he hasnt been told who will start Friday night, but his approach hasnt changed.Well find out together, I guess, Garoppolo said. Im preparing like Im gonna be the starter. You never know. Last week was a good example. You never know whats gonna happen.Brady said the rapport and dialogue between he and Garoppolo has been good, noting theres always a good back and forth in our room.It is a unique situation for Garoppolo. Though he will have the starting reins and be expected to fill the leadership role for the first month of the season, this is Bradys offense.Garoppolo is approaching it by focusing on his tasks on the field.Its a tough situation at times, but you cant worry about that too much, he said. Its one of those things where if you start worrying about that, then you cant focus on whatever it is: your reads, your checks, whatever it may be. You just have to go about your business the same way you always have. Im not trying to do something crazy and do something Ive never done before, Im trying to be myself and do what I do.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Kyle Hightower on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/khightower Air Max 90 China Wholesale .

MILWAUKEE -- Although Jimmy Nelson hadnt won a game in more than a month, he kept insisting he wasnt pitching as poorly as it seemed.Nelson provided proof on Monday night, winning for the first time in seven starts and not issuing a walk for the first time this season as the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Colorado Rockies 4-2.We focused on quality pitches. Even the misses were small, Nelson said.Nelson (7-13) gave up two runs and seven hits in six innings while striking out four. He hadnt pitched past the fifth in any of his previous six starts.I honestly felt really good, like I could have gone back out there, he said. With the tempo and effort of my delivery, I felt like I didnt really get tired out there.Nelson threw 71 of 95 pitches for strikes.He was pounding the zone very well tonight, Milwaukee manager Craig Counsell said.Chris Carter homered for the Brewers and Tyler Thornburg got the last three outs for his fifth save in nine chances.The Rockies got a run in the first when David Dahl scored on a wild pitch by Nelson.The Brewers tied it in the bottom of the inning when Jonathan Villar scored from third on an error by Colorado shortstop Daniel Descalso. Kirk Nieuwenhuis added a two-run single.Carters solo homer to left in the third, his 30th of the season, off Chad Bettis (10-7) extended Milwaukees lead to 4-1.Bettis gave up four runs and four hits. He struck out three and issued a career-high seven walks. He walked multiple batters in the first, second and fifth innings. He threw 111 pitches, second only to his career-high 114 on April 25 against Pittsburgh.DJ LaMahieus run scoring single in the fifth brought the Rockies within two runs.Dahl finished with two singles and two stolen bases for the Rockies.KEY CATCHIt was only the second batter of the game, but Nieuwenhuis diving catch of LaMahieus tailing shot down the right-field line prevented the Rockies from a potentially big inning.They had a big inning working, for sure,, Counsell said.dddddddddddd If that ball gets through, the middle of their lineup is obviously very dangerous. That catch was the play of the game, really.Nieuwenhuis said he felt the ball begin to pop out of his glove as he crashed to the ground. I knew I was going to be able to get there but it ended up being a little further than I thought, he said. I was able to pin it to my chest.CARTER CRUSHESCarter became the first Brewer to reach 30 home runs in a season since 2012 when Ryan Braun hit 41 and Corey Hart had 30. He has hit 21 home runs at Miller Park.I always love coming back here and hitting, Carter said.VILLAR SWIPES 50thJonathan Villar stole bases in the first and second innings, giving him 50 for the season.
