Tom Brady, Patriots QB

Copy of the quarterback is brought to you by our great friends at Dunkin' Donuts Tom Brady joins us on the AT&T -- find -- what's possible. The nation's fastest mobile broadband network AT&T rethink possible good morning Tom. More I know you're not a big fan of either or questions but I'm gonna a little late to one your right at the beginning I know this is overly simplistic. But your estimation to the patriots win that game in San Diego ordered the chargers lose that game in San Diego. Well you know right there and learn a lesson pretty early. Playing in in the NF sit on the sideline withdrew one they can sit com a lot of these games. You know lost by the other team if you don't make mistakes and then teams have a part time -- and we've made our fair share of mistakes out there don't get me wrong. And they probably what is evident it's you know -- may -- turn over would be you're. There as well -- this present -- football. We have really critical errors in the game that and I think that was probably the difference -- that you know we can certainly play our best game our offense and we thought we got. All the opportunities that we have a short field and -- turnovers. We didn't convert into touchdowns like I wish we would have thought our defense really. Played phenomenal the end. You guys so that's something that's you know yet achieved that excuse has lots of -- -- you -- excusing. Very well so. It's hard to say it in if if we don't turn it over and I think those parts spokesman penalties but. In each game that that get a look at -- curtain and we just came from on top -- this what. Where the offensive struggles in the first death in particular. More a result of what San Diego was doing on defense or the fact of the patriots weren't executing on offense. I think there's probably a little poles and eight they had a good defense -- we will all -- the scene that is an average and -- -- home winning games when it's predicting that it you know almost four touchdowns each so. They play well home and their defense really. They play well with the crowd noise and and no they did some really. Good thing execution wise and at the same time we certainly didn't do anything to help ourselves so. Ultimately comes out to make it plays -- -- -- they can always out there. And the passing game of the running game we just couldn't -- -- to move the -- -- those better the second half but. You know we we we just really struggled there in the first. Can you tell us a little bit about specifically what the San Diego defense did them in the news. When you talk about lack of X -- is that physically unable X acute or you step back look at itself and maybe you don't recognize. In his confusion a big factor in Europe you're in effectiveness particularly in the first half. Yeah. So what that is you know it's it's a lot of it's given to recommend an -- -- you can interpret them by stand on the field convert them. Third downs and if you can get Scott from first and second down and then they have here the third down and then. The back into a first down play and now you're sure it's six or it you know at least explains Elektra -- well you know. If you're going to bring it out of -- now you can't really -- until rhythm and we just ostensibly. It's it's played like it jump shooter about follower than it is everyone's been athletic at some point you. You know for the call first that may have the first you know you can took that put them out there it's just keeps going well -- -- didn't look bad weather but it takes -- to yourself it's so. We just got to I think about recommends an offense we we if we just couldn't overcome. Some of the police that. San -- would make it in and hopefully at least not very -- the usual -- So what what changed what would be like a specific adjustment whether it's halftime or third quarter we said let's try this and and and what. Ultimately led -- -- success on offense or or particularly on that and that you know that seventeen play drive what what did you change and what what worked. Yeah or take their -- in east aren't. Wonder cute things that work. And then now you got to -- a little bit on their heels and then you can start run that you wrote things in your -- better and now you're told action taxes become a little bit. Better your screen game becomes a little bit better. When you can get global and -- long drive like that you can call botched play even. And one like inside another -- and -- in note when you're territories out -- elected in the first there's no way that the except that the other like they. Played in the works so. You know you play action -- and they stopped either your yards a play action perhaps regain your trust of Nichols let it that they defender running plays -- -- -- -- -- -- -- the second half I thought we get a better job really -- accusing in -- on the fuel. Which -- able to get so lot of plays that we wanted to get to in the game that we wrote that particular does something -- they were doing and so. You know I'd I'd offer to go great every single series and -- I think it's completely personal it frustrated by about their limits are going well. But some charge is gonna hang in there and ultimately when you get the opportunity. To turn things around you do and and and particularly at three -- in the second half -- on what approach I want another won't displeasure that touched down on. We kicked the field goal that the last drive of the game where a little like as you know convert. No we're still work our way and we got it would like expect that this week is the very very very good defense that played this week and I hope we go next keep better than we did. The other -- Don't even though there -- a lot of style points with that win out in San Diego looking at the big picture can a case be made. The grinding out that kind of win win you know up playing your best and on the road. Might be more beneficial down the road when you find yourself in those kinds of late and tight games in November and December. Certainly well anytime I mean when you win and its hardware industry in the and you look at all the kings on Sunday and and felt terribly bitter love the -- you're gonna. So. It's hard to win I mean these guys are because they're good players or coaches. That you are sure -- didn't -- -- route to a great start this year they always found a way to turn it around and grab a lot and treatment in search truly talented so. You play them on the road in -- -- at all on the road this week. I mean any -- the skateboard went in around. When people on them and wait. And we try to visiting stadium itself which stopped the play on just in the sense that -- a -- and maybe that would put all the offense they. We couldn't do want. -- on the road -- But by my question reflects the mental toughness of grinding it out and getting a win win it could have gone the other way and guess what amassing his. Is it more beneficial down the road to of 182320. Game on the road that you could've lost as opposed to let's say you -- about 27 to three. Well I don't think it's gonna make much difference download X in the and except that now that's two straight games on the road that we want you freak -- and armor to get pretty routine so I think we gain confidence and that. We can win games on the road against good teams. Which is really felt we could say last year there which is always looked very good football team. Last season and that that the big what are effectively gives on the road those are important -- -- in -- got a few good bet you have that -- from the -- played at home. I don't put that when you play on the road. You got to win those games record of nicotine. You gotta you gotta went and I think I'm probably enjoy the fact that we have won these games. I like that at least we need to do a better job and certainly played better cause third. The rhetorical ought to look we went into -- katyushas they're not the crowd about the -- -- reps were. We're gonna win because where cube at a higher level. Not content track -- excuse I'd global arms. It doesn't always carry over to McCain but. And we need to carry over to game or off. Is it ought to sit on the play at home is it party time you celebrating your win in the joy in the moment are you. Bemoaning the mistakes you made and and and and on the sloppy play or maybe the ineffectiveness. In the first half. All or is it would just go to sleep. What -- are probably each road trip. You know I think those are considered a lot of excitement when gains and at all. It's. In our what the -- locker room. You you do reflect on the good things in fact that you want you all which reflect on the that you wish you could have done better every effort toward that. -- You know that's halfway decent thinks about the thing they need to do better so. And and that's just such as part of the competitiveness -- you'd you can really reflects. I think about things you do you need to do better. It off because when you lose most of the top that's really what you gotta dig deeper there's really makes significant change in sometimes. But when you lose both and that's been the best thing that happens you'll -- great to say that we're. Earlier driven nature reflected -- -- -- -- when you have a -- like -- -- -- you don't care what you win or lose for and the it's -- to mention the weakness in the -- oldest of the same accountability that we. That he does well we. -- we look forward loose. Are you allowed to drink beer on the flight home. Daughter in law called the plate. The -- -- owns. His own world. Yeah I mean that the people are resting and then sleep there will be on the watch in the through these Omar. You know -- in -- playing backgammon stuff like that so. It's what do you watch that. What we don't I -- figure jumped on on next week's opponent so. It on the -- I watched all the all the vikings game but he's and so makes some notes and it's pretty valuable time. You know it's it's. It's prettier it's very invite -- -- on the play and don't get yet. It's very quiet for me give that kind of reflect on the what I need to do better and also. Try to get a jumpstart on the following week so which you're -- pitching it to do what you play because. But typically you have some friends that every accountant. You know -- that's in the game maybe you're it -- something -- let you know it's based on the airplane you're able they watch -- film and get it today it. So you really like those cross country fleiss' which -- significant the at a not much art -- brought it -- or broker at W said on a number vacations and on fourth -- one that you would like to go for it a hundred out of a hundred times and I'm wondering. Did the ease with which Benny got into the end zone running to the left for the touchdown. Influenced the play call of what you guys try to do 14 and one at midfield. Well I think we know we took very content that we that we can Dana Gardner said that after the game notes. Don't you hate it bigger return amounts could be a two minute drive. With a very good passing -- and I'm playing that hole. And that's a lot of kind of took bootable downfield so what we all felt that we didn't -- -- pretty -- games over. So. No it's just that. Didn't actually could very well and and and their in the reality is that. It and accept that again and there's no reason it should -- -- the war in Portland and we had the opportunity to look up front that we all day and -- I'd like the fact that coach feels so we get it I looked at technical skills according instance on. Nobody expects domestic get -- -- expected to get written and hopefully next time we'll put that situation. We're able to do. Don't you remember you you remember everything down and distance in in pre season games from 2007 I'm wondering all the talk period yeah how many times. You'll gone for a third and one or fourth and one with a quarterback sneak and not made it amid an -- percentages are very high I accurately convert many if at all. Eric. You know we do we do a good job blocking up on the middle coltart. And that Connolly and Steven. And that they in the in that situation have been able really loaded up on the inside so I'm bad -- to -- -- also looked. We'll give it took 230 come back below the way held clutch starter and I so. You know we just we just couldn't we just an excuse very well in and out kind of the way are they went in the realities. That we as an -- -- on their. It will parts that don't critically today and come out of that. Hopefully with better awareness of what we need do to improve -- -- -- and and crude and offensive. Because we're gonna need to -- we can't we can't keep going out -- -- It consistently especially in the first app like we -- we really have here the first. -- for the last part brigades. Got I don't know if there are hard and fast rules with -- every team in the National Football League it's as if you don't practice you don't play I assume there probably are from most guys. I don't know what they applied -- Tom Brady or maybe Brett Favre if indeed with a double ankle fracture he doesn't play this week. My guess is that it Childress thinks he can help -- he would play on Sunday given that what's the effect. A far playing this game or any game without a week of practice. Well you mean -- Spurs have tried not much of it don't matter much you play first first there's so many -- he's practiced only currency you've got the timing down with all those players are. No we gotta expect that he's gonna play these. Are the reason why he's had this. You know -- the most one of the most incredible -- -- their cal Ripken with the consecutive games played streak that. Phenomenal because. Look you will be a topic you want but sometimes -- know -- global left in the game. You just can't make it out there that you you get hit you fall awkwardly. You break a bone -- there's. Really won't allow you to play in and keep. Brett played through some incredible injuries I don't -- injuries ankle injury before. You know you -- broken -- to force so. If there's any chance implant that he's gonna make it out he's not. -- is the top of what -- player ever suit up and yet -- also. And it in the continue to play at a high level which -- it without the consent it's not like no leader goes out there. You know it doesn't play well he's injured and plays -- -- matter what so. You know we got we got transport in this week as well. -- the vikings head coach Brad Childress set a couple of eye opening eyebrow raising comments this week the first was immediately after the game he. Sort of threw his court sort of he threw his quarterback under the bus publicly and said. Our -- have to work within the confines of our system you can't hand the other team a ball you can't be given in the game like this six points going the other way. Is he is not know what happens behind closed doors I know what happens in media rooms I know what happens man -- man is it helpful. The head coach call somebody up publicly like that. Well our I think every tech coach has different style to motivate their players so. -- and a coach spell check -- you'd never do that anybody that does that matter by seven interception he could never do that. You know. -- -- There's no doubt that he's gonna bring that up to me. You know at some point being that certainly probably right away and say your -- keen. You know as well so. He's gonna make the point that he needs to make in order. Try to. His players to play better and and a coach Belichick says that Tony Dungy did that. You know are available on those -- different ways so we're all. We're all we're all big boys we can we can handle the criticism that. We don't do so -- well I mean we know that we can do some -- would oftentimes players so there harshest critics so. You know what I -- when I don't play well I know it and -- -- some -- because Berkshire eagle that would somebody told you gotta do it better but. That's the truth from and that -- that's what you need is a player then it would yet you -- pretty happy that someone actually came -- Seneca -- get -- note motivate Joe looked at more to get it. Improved. Horrible criticism takes us to the second Brad Childress comment and it took place yesterday I believe. He called the patriots won the all time -- signal stealers in the league he was referencing a Monday night game in 2006. Between the patriots on the vikings you guys crush them in the metro -- 317. You went 29 for 433782. And four touchdowns take those -- what Brad Childress said as he wrecked -- recall that game. I'm mindful of the last time we face them here and miners -- thought it was like. Surgical procedure you know now it's bad enough. We used to signal -- things like that open and -- never had a conversation with Mike Tomlin about these are some of the all time -- -- Steelers. And in fact that's what was going on you know there were Holden Holden Holden Holden. You know we're signals from the -- they're they're good at -- it's like a steal signals were captured. He calls the patriots the all time great signal stealers in the NFL what do you think about that. Oh good cause a lot worse than that but I bet a a a you know I'd I'd -- it was so long ago. -- they had a great defense you're my problem was the coordinator at the time and and there are you know I remember a sexy cute pretty well that night so. You know everyone has probably. You know I've heard different guys in the past -- enemy. That that covent garden and really that's that's been not a sort of put border for a long time so. And we still won a lot of games. And in what those seven we didn't know they changed the rule and so forth so. In combat I don't I don't buy a whole lot and that the thirteenth it's a witnessed region that -- -- -- directly from which. He could still steal signals without. A video camera correct. I don't know if you know I'd I had no idea what I -- I don't engage in any of that so I don't know what they were particularly pleased to have to try to. You know -- an advantage. What what what games do you look at I know viewers watch and vikings a tape on your way home. If you look at the games just from the shared would you look at a game like that back from 06 when you've had your way with the vikings defense. Sure what to -- record here now so typically coordinators -- they have their stuff -- and it may be some of the same players which you can kind of see younger guys. May have matched up against particular player but a lot of our guys have changed as well also. Gone back that far I don't know. How much -- or really helped. -- what what their team is this year as well if -- short films so. To see everything that they've done this year and that's that's where you focus your attention this is their. 2010 version of the vikings have and a what all their games and kind of see the style that they're playing in wet and the kind of aggressiveness that they play Whitman. The team without the nominal front seven great pass -- great linebackers. They're a little bit younger in the secondary but. They've got quite a few playmakers back there are so. There's certain is that the defense is as we face and and -- organ -- that we're need to have a great week practiced -- to prepare for. Not that you watch a lot of vikings offensive football but have you noticed what they're doing with Randy now that he's there. The second part of that question as we wait till after the game to meet and greet with -- Yeah I haven't seen -- gains. -- and he's I and I I guess or subnet the first quarter of their jets game. But after that I haven't seen where -- what they're doing. In the united Texas a few times so. Probably after the game that -- I like to do it -- -- -- -- that -- get ready to play again about the proposed spectrum that. You know to go hang out talk can be yet so. Quote there. It was a -- maybe a placebo. Electronics say certainly try to map again. I don't only four catches for 25 guns for Wes Welker were not used to see in that -- is -- something different San Diego do something different it to contain him and do you worry other teams will will do the same thing. Well I think that's you know I could get on the ball I think that's what that that tells me its -- weapons. What an incredible player and he's a big part of -- offense goes so. On days where we we do get stopped. You know maybe if they do they try to take terrible way. And you know certain things they didn't take them away certain things that I need to certainly do a better job to give him the ball because. Music players that we've ever had here so. That that's. It might take responsibility that there is no reason why shortcut for register portrait Turkey should note that -- and that I gotta give. Well what -- you more Oakland win 59. On the Broncos in Denver. Buffalo amassing 505. Against the ravens defense in Baltimore the Braun smacked in the saints in New Orleans. I don't know that I said let's say yes -- which is decreasing your you know well and are so it seems that many thought would be. -- right right up where they left off last year in and that's -- the case. And it's not like it hasn't happened before in these are it differently to different schedule it's different situation it's different coaching it's. -- -- different fees and so. You know those those times when you have a great to even get a great opportunity that are really capital I don't think that's what that means committee and you don't on how an opportunity is -- to accomplish -- -- based on injuries -- in certain things that happened over the course a year or so. You know opera fact that we're anywhere in the thick of it this year we're proud of what we haven't got a record any team in the league right now we've got a hold seat -- -- of us. We want some tough games on the road we know we need to make improvements but no we showed a good attitude to blow up their practice and get better so. Notes is a great opportunity press you know gold forward and I think it was looking forward to we've we've. And we've worked it's worked pretty hard and hopefully it continues to pay off but this week it's Minnesota and a challenge is quite a bit. It doubles the Selz and the heat over the NBA seasons and at a morning if you have any insight into. The mindset of an aging veteran experienced All-Star team trying to put it together for one more championship run with a small window of opportunity. Yet -- you know -- I love I love the Celtics. And and it one game. Away last year where all of they those guys -- how to get it done and they did a few years ago. Last year what's heartbreaking and so it's salute to the lakers the way they did. Let me if anybody knows how to do it it's it's darkened and and you know KG in -- and outrage and Paul Pierce who's been such a great player for so long marriage act Jermaine O'Neal and got a lot of great players so. Intermediate -- for me they gotta do it and I'll be excited to watch them they're they're. -- they got they got a great opportunity as well I hope they take advantage of we leave the building. Not gonna go to and I know we got practiced well -- -- big week so. I got funny work to do the bikes. -- -- open once the giants are isn't that coming on too late for. And Florida -- great. Yeah. That's her underwear at 8 o'clock or 830 that the I think it's -- At Orlando won in the morning. Yeah there's -- Wednesday it up the that the that the third win -- -- you within several oil exports so laid it. They get cute little incidents cause you West Coast but the -- EU. When I on the left coast or fifteen years. They've with well you which would you stay home and give -- that the Reese's cup so you hit the road with the kid and brings dual bells and circuitry. Yeah a door the other. That's that in that we got to port fifty game epic love that triggered to group to be double that farmer neighbor and that. Where they're productive and 2 o'clock in the streets of ought to you have to go. Nor those nice suburb outside of Boston good -- for street. If you don't give anything out of the and egging houses should not. They import a Tom and you're building a playground later this afternoon I I can't picture use -- slot guy. You know. You'll measured and yeah are structured. Out in the past that they would it could be get I in college or work to construction jobs so. I'd -- -- thing on the playground. -- Schilling has always said that you learn as a pitcher in Major League Baseball to shut car doors with your left hand shake hands shaking hands to your left and to protect their right hands -- have if you got the -- log on to put that right hand behind your back. Yet yet I I learned my electable but you know not throughout I have last year.
