Tom Brady, Patriots QB

All right big -- got generals on the quarterback now where as well coffee with the quarterback brought you by our great friends at Dunkin' Donuts joining us on the AT&T hotline. AT&T a better three G experienced quarterback -- the patriots Tom Brady good morning Tom. It do you describe the feeling of waking up this morning and for the first time in Melamine to the math seven months no meetings no practice no football it's ole --

Yeah. You know it. A lot of the -- got a lot of sleep last night. So. It's just stay -- at this point. Where -- easier for all of us any kind it and it's it's not. To swallow and certainly the way we like yesterday. On like lot like that so. It's just stay. One of those state were in -- are passed out there. -- because you've got to got to play well. Just. Is that.

before we talk about the team's overall performance I'd like to talk. About you were specifically I think I know you well enough to know that you look at them on his radio program today and blame your poor performance on on the injuries. So so it's not cracked -- that is not a broken ring finger and a right hander throwing in that then what is that the second part of that question as. Don't feel a little bit tempted to say I have broken finger on my right hand here that's part of the recently tennis -- the joint yesterday.

Our topic that was. That was the reason. -- think it is those injuries -- for it Eckert said after the game -- Sorry can't play and and just sit here and play and then. You have a great game and let all of you know they are -- is and -- we get out there now it doesn't. Are they were playing at the appropriate -- while we. It's. In other -- hurt. They all you and others if those are inexcusable and and you know got to find a way look better job with that. If you like it change he can't get an opportunity short field so or. We've been always very good oh and in and create a feeling you don't care about those things that. Your pocket -- on those so. It says -- eight and that way. Could we we've we've got a lot of work into it we expected some really. Great thing -- vote -- didn't get the job.

I know Tom you're you're proud of the fact that you played in all seventeen games but was ever a point at this on during this year. Where you considered because of your physical condition not starting on one of these Sunday has taken a week off.

Now I don't think I don't think that ever crossed my mind. I don't think that crosses our players aren't you know. You gotta be out there to help but when it got to get everything happened you know that's our job that's. Why we're here. While we train -- that's why you. You got a challenge yourself. Not offseason overcome. Them but are these that you may face should not subnet. That you you've got to push yourself to the point where you don't think you go much further and go farther. Overcome itself that's part of what our policy turning -- by a part of Internet. -- It was a lot of really got our team are great competitor. Which is light. That we. We were the policies and while word of secrecy is. Talk one day yesterday. We if we replicates.

You know as well as anyone what it takes to reach a suitable to win a Super -- did you think before you took the field yesterday. That this team had what it took to go all the way to win at all.

Of course ideas and it yeah we we we had played the called over the once -- and you know we -- really felt that game. We had back up thirteen points with four minutes left and if you missed out and the local political. -- we played pretty difficult to do so we had a big game and aside from in the last four minutes of the game. So. You know we we we felt like we can do really. Sort -- positive things here. Play -- on the stretch like Baltimore played pretty well. The first public played and not. And yes which is Erica tracks so. Could never really get the game players are down. Convert turnovers are down. So much --

As we address the collective funk that the team was in yesterday and I think you know a lot of observers have well. You know the exception of maybe element and fall everybody got failing grades for that effort. Did the rewrites 83 yard touchdown run Tom the first play of the game. Put the team that collective funk or was they're going to be a bad ball game for New England even if you have for the three and out on the first possession.

Well you know like I think. Played like whatever they're they're running back he's. Definitely an economic plays like that. You know he's just he's a great player and I think offensively it's our responsibility ought answer that. Are there interpret. Their score with our -- scored it can't make it. 77. Stay you know we we strips -- the score then we had another turnover scored and so. It. That a couple of these are -- just get the ball like we did. Under now once played point to indicate that the want to hurt a lot place that we wouldn't need -- make. Ourselves and regain you better. We just never thought this such a slow start now it's up to a slow start like Packard artwork a pretty much got to be all the rest of the game. -- You know we we don't -- other parts McCain. That's why -- outcome was the way it was. We -- we couldn't sustain any. Over the course because we could never really. Made it --

A paid Tom Phil Simpson on the broadcast that he was told by Ray Lewis to Ray Lewis. Was watching you on TV and watch and all the patriots cans and from that. Figured coach your audible calls at the line he would listen and he would then put the pieces together and he knew what was common. Is do you did you buy that.

You can I don't know army in their -- yeah we have thirteen you also. Got really. It'll it it makes all different and well or -- com. Now on what -- pretty got a call it on TV at the microphone. You know to widgets for your face so court about audio and particularly as the art goes well. You know because it -- good player and he uses whatever he can find it agent -- he played a great day yesterday. Expect great player and also on so. I want to god that we really wanted. Kind of neutralized in hockey can't neutralize the guy like that he's okay. -- it plays an air. It'll play that it needed to take.

Tom after a game like this that ends the season like that obviously do going to be a lot of tough questions so here comes another one. Did you have to work hard this year to cajole and convince Randy Moss to stay connected and involved and what everybody was doing and saying and on the same page remain on his radio program you have to have praised him up and down but. Are you convinced that Europe. Greatest wide receiver in the history of the NFL or one of them certainly in a conversation was busting their ass and giving it his all every single time. -- number was called or become a play was run.

You know -- I think that's why I am I -- a lot of trust and confidence that Britney and you know he's. Particularly. Well planned out what an opportunity for an -- today. Or less -- say -- over the top pitcher we know we draw and for those you know or shorter hitter incompletion but he becomes the third it would it. -- it is I didn't game where they were Leo let up on the field and at. That could be cut by -- view that we got another piece. Getting it all the other guys. And that's part of what. -- you were -- to the ball so. Already it's. He he actually get a lot of there's a lot of heart for the game and -- play in the game. Argued there -- worker. You know always. Always -- like we have a great relationship that. -- like aesthetic doesn't stop export it to -- clips on. You know on on the NFL channel and you know what people involved in all of this particular player that particular -- literally out of -- or. You know I really. Really -- with Indians. You know he's he's one of the team leader of the so. We call -- leader. Great -- and it and make improvements that we need to make it come back with. A great result that we had been bit and take the last our embassies and move forward with no. Matter what it takes to -- it to be as. Archives this year records that we it's a really good things where we really think it by the time we're very. Disjointed because I never really on the same page at. Yeah that shouldn't be it's tough to -- it offensively and -- you know we've gotta -- wait to correct that.

Delegates this next question falls in the category of leadership issues and I'm wondering. Is that locker room the solids galvanized 53 players and coaches all committed the same common cause. -- it was during the dynasty years and the reason I asked that is acute seems to me the when you lose character people like a Rodney Harrison -- Tedy Bruschi Richard Seymour -- Mike Vrabel. The culture that locker room might change a little bit when you know all four guys don't show up on time as an example. An aunt and my guess is the back in the day -- Rodney or Teddy or Richard or Mike would what are those guys and say that's not how we do it here in a -- and that's not the patriot way does that does that culture still exist the way it did back in the dynasty Tom.

Well you know I'd happily that we all we've talked about that in and of guys like Kennedy yet riot. You know I get Larry is. -- They don't come around very often you know it's not like. Other guys they're just. You know available via free agency every year bought these charities or special player special guys. It's not the patriot uniforms -- You know the genes play that patriot way that you're referred to it. It's the coaches and the players all collectively working -- the same -- Any cut you loose players like. You know pinnacle law and in argue. Are you lose a guy like Rodney who -- would like we. What do. He practiced. It's simply -- he would come forward practice against -- offense what we were giving -- look at Buick play that position different that safety. It was quarter past that was missed the subsidies under the spot the slot. To work on his skills so. You know those exceptional players and and -- big reason why we been so successful over the -- now what you -- those guys. Because other players opportunities. Another you know players that are -- The -- number there have been here few years watch those guys. Trying to grow into the role of epic like Jerod Mayo. Civic and in other guys up and so. You can't figure failure ago running in place or. No way out by. Other guys. That there troubleshoot that and that cuts were here with those type of player not. Take those lessons that they are for element. And use those who buy those what was happening this seat so. In our along with the cancer and other reality is obviously leadership Archie was -- it could be about. I'll speak for myself I was one of those -- Certainly needs to do a better job. And everybody on the same page in. It's -- void left by those players that you.

You made some news a couple weeks ago you said and sometimes this team doesn't fight hard enough did you. To feel that way yesterday common as the season -- as you as you head out the door. Would that applied to the whole season that you just didn't fight hard enough.

Well you know I think that it's. It's not necessarily you know I think it's just. In order to agree -- there's just there's going to be back at over the course of the year and not just her into the case it can't quite easy. You know it's it's whatever coach substitute that's what we need to be want to do integrate -- Create an ounce bird -- coach Belichick he understands what are ready to play. Nokia understands what if you looked like. Oracle promotion you know in all it says the -- activity for achievement. Erica could got a break a sweat that.

Austin now. They swear it's duke and the geeks will work. Assume you'll reconnect with the some. All right we're back reconnect with Tom Brady will blow you swear again Tom units were edited.

Project sites where we're whether it.

You talk about that Jerry was asking about everybody trying part of the team and giving as much everything I possibly could.

Just like order we have. Apparently it appear and Turkey. Are are not. As part of a cockpit -- Is is doing whatever he looks beautiful. People here play and -- are you was frustrated by that -- we we as a leader on the team try to pay that extra effort by. You know we obviously didn't -- so. But now we move forward to monetary to do a better job or commit to an end of -- really feel like. You don't -- you retain and our part we play much better than broker from marketplace. There --

How did he know did you know yesterday at. 1 o'clock that the team wasn't prepared to play.

Aren't gonna know EU didn't feel like they we had a very good tip practiced. Any air it was really -- Pissed off where we practiced on birthday and I -- second album -- target got wrote that practice started that we can you overcome it. Our foundation you don't -- a couple. And percent Asia corporate first quarter York -- and other Asia they'll just that part of their become a lot less what you call. Paul -- to perform at our yet are we here. Now we've we've had put it back packs up and that's why don't you lose the game just. Coach coach I think coaching like you always. I think our great post a score what fuels and you know we I was -- the best coach in the police Aurelio where we get more air. Eight PR. All the way to coaches are. That the way to that we watch that all. Other Britain great level of preparation. -- particular they're to -- to it we get we we didn't play well.

Are you completely comparable to play calling system that's in place getting the right plays at the right time in your helmet -- of the field.

And that's certainly not that it's. Advocating -- to a place. The police are we we can't place. It certainly not that it's it's playing it's. It's not excuse away or. -- draws a place they can recover retreat toward the April -- Partners as we got a ticket you know on the all become exceptions so. That's accountability that we have a player that account go to work that needs to be a better picture. Because it's not -- this year. It's never gonna be. -- We got it got to do a better job. For me open it up and in you know I lot of offered them and -- away at the -- actually. Or that I have triggered the next year. I think that's what they'll walk this morning in a -- if you really. Hope be strong. Arm on other fortunate that. The chance to really eat ice fell apart. Itself action could not -- I'll play. The plate. Pretty --

Again next year on too excited about the probable notable weakness. It. But I don't think itself than speaking of next year I know it's not your job Tom but. Which you had to guess how much different will this team look next year than it does right now more than it to -- as the.

I'm sure it'll be quite a bit different -- it is usually always is not always a lot of it you know over and over parts -- or piece of the guys opportunities out there where other places where coaches are. Certainly player to an end really periodically. At this point and that he's at oracle and to a few -- up here. A lot of really. You know interstate rules that are gonna come and play started march 1 and a lot about that computer up. You know -- true it actually got a leak and I don't think anyone really knows which stretched so hopefully our goals as players and -- are really mutually aligned. And we became. -- week that in order. Are they able of the Internet. They support for the players we -- players were ordered by how we want. You know we all want the best for illegal forward collectively. And you know we got aircraft are. Labor credit which that they are going to be a lot of interest in offseason they like jeans. Because it's very it's a secret so. Based on what -- fees are based on their their circumstance the pissed off street Circuit -- a lot of kinda. Picked up.

Nervous org gutless reporter's question urged generally -- difficult questions with your critics say Tom Brady or people say this about you I'm gonna do that. But I am -- your chance to handle question that I know you know is out there. Tom major commitment to the cause. First one of the facility in the morning last wanna leave at night. Bring a parking spot bit you know what that's all about. Any tougher to maintain with all the other things going on in your life are US into it as you were before your life expanded.

Well aren't -- are already. -- district. You know the guys who who really know that answer it guys that play so. All right. I'm not speaking about playing it. I'd love work hard for a record it's not that hard. -- there's not a lot of pain going on in my life you know it's funny that counselor at my current and accurately so. You know hopefully I got married at the conflict with the quarterback. -- it. I thought much about that production and our performance to the football players -- in -- out -- our children so. You know exactly my life is. Corporate focus. Prioritize. Things that are important to the Internet. Basically every football career. Are not really a lot of things or other content.

Every day in any girls first like six -- courier write -- I got a question about a play yesterday night's fifteenth seventeenth -- still -- would happen. -- critics say the but Chris Carr interception was like your worst throw of the year what are you -- look a hundred times. Was that intended to what do you think and on that. Chris -- interception. That to you -- you step up from you right now is to ravens there. And it might might be the TV camera angle you really cutesy receiver.

Yeah well. Yes -- aren't there other terrible clay and it's a bootleg inland somewhat in the flat. I looked out there was covered I think by Chris -- Which has. Applicable transitional I don't wanna take -- back. They'll but I don't want international route. Could got it right on an attack could come there. Richard Johnson. But -- quarterback you know what you wanna draw all in an area of a receiver. Doesn't you don't get a picture -- and I didn't really ought to have their -- crossing the backside air. You know which are trying to complete the -- trying to do it in an area where I think he's going to be and right through it and Cris Carter came off a look back there can also. Articulate they're -- we look back.

We gonna I think it's Chris Baker who behind him is in Bakker yeah both final runs behind -- how much and a minute.

But it didn't -- game where. You go take a facts you know -- pretty much -- And you can't. Because it's an inside route he got. Direction. Credible rock and a hard place. Obviously I don't broad exception situation like that. You are a particular fact. A -- place were nobody can edit and you know that was. Or a -- ball where -- got a technical play.

Until we all saw a woman and and all applauded his effort but. Where's or somethin' that it Wes Welker could have should would have done if he were there. That that -- was just not capable of doing because of all the experience that you guys have -- together.

Well we we were that we or -- at all we practiced without them up against now are. We we had a we felt like we could still get the ball a lot of good things now where. Are aware that an unbelievable players. There's nobody in the -- you can do that -- the greatest slot receivers. You know seeing so. I liked both got -- field view of such as archer. Really -- replaced younger children they're great joppy. Present a remarkable year for gun. -- So. You know he's gotten somewhat. You know world. Parent current. We're all very. We're all very. Excited about what a couple of and so a lot of other players like that too -- question here -- whether. Now we're gonna continue to be relied on the leader. I'm -- thing same thing for apple player on. Or just after. That the conflict or in view what the next eight parts. Of Austria and at. A review of sport what it.

Well Tom to be set to know that this wraps up another year with you and -- Indian -- and all that sort of stuff and while I understand you aren't able to bear your -- and -- the deepest darkest darkest secrets. A two million patriot football I I do want to know we appreciate your effort to explain as best you can. What's the one of the program what's going on the team and and what's going on your life so thanks very much and sad to say you want to talk to us next Monday morning.

I did I did I appreciate you -- you guys. There are very respectful and I appreciate that toward you myself personally and arcane and you know apparently -- It that they golf fans who supported. You know what we will be back -- note that not in this came as an. This community -- anywhere got a lot of great pieces of -- and hopefully we can get. What do a better job next year. All around and the port -- guys have a great art great and not get -- and.

Tom for the record you did not blame the fans for Boeing I mean. I don't know if Kelly Washington do in the throat slash in saying that the dynasty is over -- all of that. Bothered you but you were not bothered by the fans going.

I never ever get bothered by that I think they have every right. Tell us what outplay their. We got -- out of the -- victory Super Bowl it's true that if people out there. You know we -- it. There are great support. Would be great support Eric come out out people. All around -- note sure ought to -- something we've got so much of that so we could be a lot of places where people don't care like. I don't want -- promote other places where. But we always a lot of people care about what order can about the way we play it or not play -- an expectation that they let us -- Perhaps they're right well. -- looked a lot more recent that your picture.

Its -- only say is we us again by your your new grooming approach I think we'll have you looking just about like Troy Polamalu by July ethnic right. There you go there ago Tom enjoy your offseason -- let it will talked it down the road Tom Brady joining Dennison -- element patriot Monday on AT&T hotline AT&T you better three G experience.
