Tom Brady, Patriots QB

For the final hour Dennison Cali -- not a patriot Monday copy with the quarterback who brought you -- by our great friends. At Dunkin' Donuts good morning Tom Brady how aria. To blow judge you wanna push -- buttons he -- there hello Tom. Good morning morning choose a post game reaction that best suits your mood and way of thinking. A win is a win is a win in the National Football League it's all good all our. We beat the colts yeah but. -- well. I've been around long enough to -- -- -- who -- yeah. That you come up through and we played great -- that we lose that game you know I'd rather say. You know from we want and let's figure this thing that -- so. It was a great game. Classic game. And there's there's there's such a good team. And that's explosive offense explosive defense. You know those guys -- -- -- to be president so. You know we we we ought -- locker room felt you know we're very excited that we want and you know which had a tough stretch here. -- what you really good team so. You know get a full week against Martinez price huge -- of government in place on Thursday so. It was a great win for there is no doubt about it and it certainly wish -- finish them off there like I think we're capable. We can do better -- W post game comments you talked about execution being a problem on some of those third and whatever's in the second half. But I'm wondering does the play calling change. In terms of its philosophy in the second half when -- leading a team 3114. Or is your distribution of the ball run versus pass pretty much the same philosophically as it was in the first death. Well America I think because do you think differently and I think we. I think I called great the -- That was the first drive of the game you know we've tried to go play action and forgot the second. -- You know try to open -- had a pre made a great play a good move fact that the to get it and a really long yardage. And that we put it there's an -- we scored a touchdown and extra -- and we got them their third down inside buys. You know and couldn't connect. On the one it could have been put you know we had a third down is our best quote. You know as. One of our best receivers -- beyond with. Look like there was maybe some contact there that -- we think typical and then and we want of the third down so makeup of the execution occurred but. That's what they feel a -- Get the typical himself -- Propagating do play calling -- had to do their katyushas. That do a better job excuse. There in the tight situation. You you obviously and the office of lines of we've obviously done a great job I believe it's one sacked in the last two weeks I was saying earlier Tom. We never heard Robert Mathis is name on the broadcasting even hear it Freeney got do you wants. You run the ball effectively is this the Logan Mankins effective -- Given this offensive line a booster they they just collectively coming together as a group. Well on the offensive line is always collective. -- There's no doubt Logan. Logan had to help -- -- to -- collected in that you have as a group because he's so powerful he's so much going on and so. Athletic. I mean those. It don't mean he just. He's everything you look forward. And -- and -- in offensive line -- it's gonna have a type player. So. He's just means. That's the home for that group. Yeah him and next to Matt Light that's there have been there's not a better guard tackles adamantly units cope American. They'll -- football player Connolly who's really show what he's capable Sebastian as a young player who. You know really do great things settle. You know you're you're right if -- you think they're playing and they're playing great football and as such as if that's the difference when it comes from the -- like we did yesterday. And throw it. On our -- that -- limits how effective those powerful to be edited out very well what happened because Pittsburgh is well that's because continue to try to keep. Well balanced then they can really -- ridicule what you're doing. And and the tight ends I assume -- -- talk about Crumpler with us every week but Gradkowski. Seems to be available blocker to and we were just pointing out how little. Aaron Hernandez played yesterday and and you know I had just one catch the touchdown is that a function of the Indianapolis defense and your need to have. Gronkowski and Crumpler out -- for blocking purposes. Sure I think those guys you know for as explosive as the guy like Darren is in the past -- How he -- explosive run blocker and any -- could still catch passes and so was brought up so. You know you let them have been out there. But I think probably your take another cut off the field you just gotta mix and match and I think we -- continuing to find ways to do that here. Is -- very supportive whenever we can because what you can do out there for them and mitigate credit as a blocker he's big he's a good -- do so. Although I'd have to play a part despite BenJarvus then and then it would it damage as well. So everybody that's on the active roster is gonna help us with I think that's. What what was sciences to really accomplished this year. Let's just fire the -- the west. And now we get through its deal with what was -- before they go to -- but with the -- you know whoever -- -- cover as it was his fault. That might have answered my next question but I'll tell you this Ron Amadon this week was asked to. Of by -- the patriot offense now without Randy Moss verses then with Randy Moss but he's essentially so what is clear to him. Ron Amadon talking but this is a tight end offense based on the fact that -- through the tight -- twice yesterday one each not Crumpler. Would you agree that terminology Tom. Well I would say we we there's probably more tight ends on the field that we had in the past. But that's one Republican running right. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Because -- so you have of this they've proven to be. So there you go passable. But now they've become what in the passing well. Some I don't know of you specifically analyze and raped particular drives within the context of a game. -- like a golf gamers know that day I shot 78. I did everything well. But in terms of -- of rating that's second drive at seven minute and 462 drive were absolutely everything seemed to go perfectly fifteen plays 82 yards 746 is that about as good as a drive as this team can put together. Yeah well I think we've and we have any penalties if they reserve colonel would know. I don't think we have any negative plays in the game we've won that there was really one negative play. We have three touchdowns -- -- possessions in the first half as we put up those pretty. In the second half you know we we set up problems are back and ensure that two more touchdown -- well first the fellowship and such. So you know we're right with excuse -- you know pretty well. You know which -- sure you're looking into the game you don't convert third down when it really count as. A team like that people come back so those fifteen play drive certainly are important to take off problem of the clock patrols -- -- game -- with with seven points from the I think that's -- -- -- to have done that in the fourth quarter. So that's what we're really going to be a big part of this this week. You you always say of defensive players had any brains that be offensive players. If if Taiwan not Hagler had any hands would he be. A tight end or receiver indeed did you feel lucky when you hit him between the five in the six and and get away -- that. Yeah yeah. Is that it's terrible -- -- he has is different you have been everywhere. I thought I was gonna get them to move with threw -- As I look back to where he would take his job very -- I was just. Yeah you're right on equity intentional so pretty awful. Thumbs up that -- game is. And -- and Sanders makes a great catch and and and -- the goat and and then Hagler can held -- your ball and and you end up like you say no turnovers no penalties. That was almost a big gaffe. Yeah sure whether it's your words. You know hopefully we don't. Make anymore of those this year. They -- on the -- on the -- touchdown that made it seven nothing do you know all the the linebacker has his back turned to you and all you have to do is get it over his head. Or you focusing micro focused on on west of where he is on the field. Well. You know I'm I'm looking at west of the match up and then once that cost. West -- would -- did I was just trying to make make a room where where only he can catch it made a hell of a catch. And had a great run after catch you know help we've been talking about all week that wants to performing -- pictures go forward and you get those pads because they really rally the ball felt. He you know -- -- -- from from the -- the -- -- -- -- -- he wasn't gonna get help to linebacker I'm obviously linebacker on west is a mismatch. And them that you knew run up the -- that there would be no help correct. Well I'm an up particular coverages they'll help. And we were really sure how can play out but once went. You know got up while linebacker went back to really try to play -- Mikey get -- right around them and they'd held a place no way to start the game interception. And then. Of just bombing and go right away it was it was -- but today. Always talked about this already this morning and we ask Boomer Esiason about it in the last hour and this question would have been blasphemous a couple of months ago. But to what extent has would head replaced Kevin -- in terms of all the things required of that guy in a position. Well I'm nobody replaces Kevin -- Kevin from what you he has -- as a player. You know parent who does for the team and his leadership his. Is is Roland practices. And what we're and his the most under this thing about Kevin and his ability to perform. Under pressure didn't know he says he's the most clutch. Player ever they don't know rep that would cause -- Kevin you know and the biggest -- -- -- career he's played it that's been so. You know that said. That remains to be seen within them we've never -- public confidence and it. And in either held player. We're so fortunate. I have a because of what he's been able to do. You know we've we've we've lost Kevin that was significant off working. Whether it probably wouldn't complain. When he's really taken that role and accepted it and that a great jobless itself. And nobody can replace Kevin -- he's one of the -- But what he wouldn't do to help resolve in the law that we're asking you because. -- what you can do both run and intentions. And they completely recipes themselves. And he's he's back -- ago. I guess for a second here we'll get to the best play that was not a touchdown my nomination would be. Would head in the second quarter. I believe was third and three and would have made these second effort to get the first and goal at the eight you got a better play the -- that wasn't a touchdowns on the kept things going. Not out of the ones -- -- they -- about because. You know they've they've kind tricked me into this. You know like they were with them and they ended up not listen -- kind of scrambled -- -- pocket wouldn't grew at about a yard short of the six and even helpful way to get the first down so when you played a team that -- you -- -- I think he can keep Opel and and a play like that. What we get seven. Instead of three years is viewed it yet again oh. That that ends -- -- the difference between one -- In the in the early. Early in the second. Quarter and that that's the difference -- I was so that'll -- You know I understand. Where you say about Kevin Faulk and nobody can replace most smart he was a -- she was. Why isn't then easy to replace. Says Laurence Maroney is this BenJarvus green Ellis. Have any great physical gifts that that Lars didn't have -- just. In the hole and and and that carrying out the play the meant the way it was designed to go or is it just the offensive line is opening holes that they weren't opening before. The unit recently. -- -- you know -- -- I don't know about Lawrence's much but no privilege than what he's but it would have been in. That is great physical tools but went back and that he's got great he got great vision so he sees the -- there's a lot of stuff that happened there -- to make good decisions run on the ball would think perhaps that fact that they are. That's out of you'll have the back. Rather just run in the back of your offensive lineman or. Or talk about decision making -- the players. As you -- the ball back with you not cut off and those are decisions are running backs have. And then make the right decision so when you evaluate him on film after the game because of they have good reason and good cut you know run that should have been working towards it is no recollection between twelve and twelve. And -- -- you know he's very powerful and it was a very both palpable so you run the run tackles that's of the law. It was more smarts. There's more brains involved there more smarts. More than than just you know just. The physical and -- -- No question when you've got it and you know the place that -- got a -- block and you know but you know particular defense of alignment. And you've got to understand okay -- of the alignment this is where sometimes the defense of that war and what we call spike in -- to reflect -- no offense -- but despite that the best for the gap -- because -- That south outside that that they use the idea about that yup but linebackers and a jump over the proper that. -- -- in the hole but when you do that they've really got to cut it cut it back right off of hackles book so. Although things with each defensive front with huge pressures. -- let's -- a very smart capable person of his books that so. I think -- been such a great player back -- -- -- never they have put the defense is doing on the physically. You know he's very well coach -- coach but we have a query right back because I've -- here is that we're looking for a long time hell of a -- and he put so much pressure on those guys in practice -- always do the right thing so that's -- you really if you pay it off with the Iranians within it obviously was then hopefully we get right back to. -- our years of talking with view if we've learned nothing else we've learned that playing of the National Football League is much more complicated than anybody on the outside looking in. Can understand thus this question is there a position in the National Football League where you can be stupid to succeed. We'll definitely no matter what -- -- let's -- But you know what that would show up. That would it would show up at some point and you'll have. Leo but I actually won't -- -- if you -- -- realized -- anything right so. As. They admit it here if your heart -- processor -- -- and you're always gonna be that because. Guys like -- -- many guys like Ed -- guys like Ray Lewis. You know they recognize. Same boat called -- responsibility and they see. You know offensive alignment then they read the with a -- -- and how has he is -- -- on the heels of honest opinion and are looking at the back and look at where his eyes are looking. -- -- -- -- the ball in the presence of office -- come with all -- things that. It's only decisions they have to make it down without basis that really had been learned over. Decades. And a guy like Ray Lewis -- You know those are all things that. As you know about the chemical engineer major. You've got the ability to process things that make great decisions. -- -- -- There's not many positions in the NFL where. Where you can get away with it for those law I think that's what happened and in. It. Also and who make bad decisions on the you'll also in the services offices open source and that's what they need to do to contribute to the team. Over a long period of so. You know you just gotta know guy like -- takes such good care of his body who. You know studies system -- this -- and commitment is 100%. -- king was. Playing football at a high level and that's -- -- -- -- the fact. That kinda bad ideas because he can't. And I choked up on the field to that decision that was made -- to run by that linebacker. You know that's I think all of a place -- the process that in the span of you know want second. But it. And it's -- talk about the short week of preparation and more than just the obvious of the compressed schedule. How does that work and how's it more challenging because it is compressed schedule. What do you do how quickly be up to do it. Well. You know there's there's no doubt that. You haven't heard of for example. The last night I got all that and and and I got to work on on the line so. -- that it would be like a win -- last but look like that that went inside of normal week for a and so for the first time on look at that they'll typically on the night after the game. The last side Wednesday night you know Monday will have what's called the game. Two you know we'll talk offensive. Coaches about nobody but and so forth well now it's Thursday morning of -- normal -- -- today -- Another problem -- And we've we've -- we've been put in the game at so it's today with the overall the first second third was doing we're gonna go in the afternoon. Get together as a team talk about it all the guys -- face and then they. So it definitely opened. Press. You know physically. You know what let's get a good player have to. It's being banned by the time the -- kicked off wolf will be doing all the things that we wanna do. In uniform as -- kind of practices. You know we've played football -- Since late July so -- we've got one or two days of practice I don't think it's gonna -- It's just you know -- after the would be -- proper -- lot of -- -- the team that plays well almost they have good defense. That's -- a lot of -- This season and had a couple could soon be and it just let it with that yet so. Going to be can be a fun game for us -- I think it goes. The great. -- made it clear health film sessions work win Belichick stands up third analyzes a particular play that didn't go well. The that the footage -- that backs up shows that again shows corrects the errors the guy who made the mistake obviously gets kind of called out. Does the opposite also hold true what I'm thinking about was -- heads 36 yard touchdown run when you watch at the second time UC branch and Welker Boston they're asked to get out in front. Clear the way block in the end zone and get would head in there will Belichick stopped that footage and back it up and point out what those two guys did right. Yes yes I. You know I I believe me after that run I would over the web about a look at what schools and other apple bought yeah. Has escort him the end -- like that that was. That was unbelievable. A pretty funny note by my first game ever. Started against. I think it was the -- -- was the thirtieth the colts in 2001. In. After the game coach Belichick came mitigate game balls out. And Otis -- an interception return for a touchdown. And Ty -- and you can interpret -- that he did I love the ball off the table at this this -- for this -- for. Not for your interception return but for the -- that -- made out notices interception return that you voted against the -- because not for your reception -- -- for the -- if our president but to compare the you know that's what it means the coach Belichick. These. Guys like. You know west block it for yourself but you're right and that's what that's what it takes to win that's when football's all about and that's why. I think that's quite have the outcomes of those who've been lately have been -- our -- has the toughness and determination as the guys that we have out there. Our Tom -- up we wrap it up now time for the quarterback question of the week brought to you by Irving oil this year giving gifts they'll really like. And used the question is what will you miss that at the end of the game who are you barking -- what got under your skin. On the the line. -- well of the defense the line making it simulate snap count. At the end of the game in order you know multiple yup. And -- really North America about that but -- the ability to stop the cotton. So involved in the middle like that count and the defense that tackles. You know to try to get it to jump off -- -- to me. The only thing that the ref should be listened for that. You know you know they're doing it in other and they can't do that so. You were nicely pointing out to the officials that they weren't paying attention and doing their job. I was just that he creating awareness or -- that equipment and that they care -- -- and run really felt. But I. It is his -- All right Tom which which defensive lineman wasn't. And that was that Mathis have we just wanted to get his name in the paper now and now. Our Tom good luck Thursday happy Thanksgiving we'll talk -- next week.
