Pitcher -- continues quarterback or Tom Brady's -- Jonas in just a minute or two before it comes on secessionists you'll accuse me -- second up but he played very well give. A grade before review in the treatments they beat plus. And I'll say this to. He's not that slow me for anyone around New England who spent a decade watching Drew Bledsoe. To the point out that Brady is likes -- footed and all this always descriptions here from he's not bats -- say he's right now is halfway between grow it and -- yeah yeah well you're young grow in -- old broken was well after the beatings he took a couple knee injuries -- that's say he's he's not. Barry Sanders now I wouldn't even -- of -- is off the charts. Like McNabb now Steve young now. I would say between them and let's but he is not that Bledsoe is slow Bledsoe is lets his palatial villa idea country. Brady is not know I think he's -- which it what it's going to Tom -- speed or lack there everywhere you'd assigned the value was beat he's just slow Nike where he doesn't know where he doesn't I did that very often. You really is forced to pick his spots like Michael just has all breakdown. And he -- read not a second or third or RB you'll see who did that would do that on put all night and -- if somebody did that -- show Chris Collins worked at yeah on the floor -- right and they -- looked as well -- and then bags tied around and sometimes he just runs -- defend right. And and -- run for a 160 it's in defeat you don't want I mean boomers but way ahead of the curve and -- he's never -- and has not been -- flip and the bird just -- with no no order. No talents does though. Predict what else are consistent up once.
Every National Football League coach wants and demands whether you're running a west coast offense out whether -- renegade program like Oakland whether your discipline program like the other doing the patriots you want control over your quarterback you want your quarterback. To understand the game plan. While there and execute the -- drawn up on Tuesday and not provide improvisation is what they're looking for here -- Nash.
They hate surprises yet. And mouse on an index defense let's say. The only the wide receiving -- worst in the patriots is probably his they'll. Seventh but I don't license righty Roy to drop but that -- drop is that -- five I said what what picks of -- Jackson was about half of it right -- I mean right yeah I was -- again we're not going to focus on the right now but again like receiving corps is a problem. That's not a single have as many catches as -- Reche Caldwell and they had a total of four catches from the -- resources optics.
Not all good was the second most productive receiver for the Chicago Bears only -- at quartet who's -- and when you have four catches -- new one all game that's not. A quarterback are continues here on patriot Monday with crazy legs Brady joining us on the phone lines -- aria. I did did. What's your take us through that I mean there's a million things you need to talk about the -- everybody's talking about the third nine and the Urlacher thing. Did did did the whole process speed up or slowed down at your mind did you say slide don't slide try to deacon try to cut the process working your mind that unfold as the -- it.
Look at that. -- night movie we had. That I was trying to get better at -- man that got back and then. I kind of -- got to kind of Colorado left side just step up out of pocket the kinda opened at like the reds he which is really all right I'm scrap when it just opened completely impotent in the middle. -- anonymity you know -- that was there. And that but I doubt major -- I think a lot of quality so bad at seven I would eyes became you have believe what you that the lost you -- that if I was kind of almost -- about a month. I need to go for the first -- people out there so I knew I was going to lead before that he got he's got that presented at the end. One of those one of those is. That you know that I remembered it because it never don't try to longest nine guys run. Although I don't.
lasted just made the point in the last segment Tom that's something a quarterback like you has going for them in open space like that. Is there is a hesitation or uncertainty on the defense's part as to whether you're going to slide and so they're not nearly as aggressive if you were running back for a wide receiver with the ball in space do you think that plays into it.
Well I could definitely definitely I think those guys this defendant always really edited food you know relate lady QB -- There's there's gotta do to protect -- movies that (%expletive) I was it was morally right about it cigarette put up about it they're much more grip on it but it'll be okay. They really needed really needed a squad that drive and scored touchdowns -- even the score and you know we we gotta we gotta continue always to protect the ball better this is not the beginning -- yet.
It looked like if we went obviously we saw you say something to Urlacher and please don't hurt me next time he he's not and I went out he said -- you. That you made him look bad. Yeah like you felt bad because them you obviously got up your very emotionally point of the first down did you feel like maybe you were showing him up a little.
I don't believe that -- definitely bad -- excited. I expect the very thing like that I didn't not that sent them -- emotional but I never show anybody up.
That was Graham it was a it was a fun chill motion -- you despite the Moises the snowball what I liked it fell down I think right right. Does it feel the morning after playing the -- as -- elect you play like three games yesterday.
It'll really physical but in other. They remind me dedicate a lot of and hopefully they're extremely fast at the linebacker position -- can -- a quarter with a lot of. So -- it is physical game so -- and they if you used to big physical so large cargo I think that's why they. They're the top of that that we pick I've never seen a deep at that can attack the football like debut of it is -- out then Asia ended this that -- always going to. It was a that would that would almost wrote a renewed every single week the -- in place like that it's it's really unbelievable so. I can't provide accurate because it was a backup quarterback as -- like that you're mad aunt every week you we must we must start on actual field if you could kind of drive. So -- if we're really lucky without -- You know look at it and you don't have -- let him look.
We'll -- that -- nice -- minute my next question obviously nine turnovers by both teams combined speaks for itself but do you look at that overall as being a sloppy sub par football performance or do you look at the other end of the spectrum and say that was a bone jarring. Hard nosed football with predictable results.
But I don't -- very adept at both and I think there's some place. You know they -- undertow was -- It's great defensive football look like if there's like the first -- the damn right I've been guided -- hit in the helmet that on the football I mean it's. Talked about ball make all of them possible and it of course but I -- divide -- with the with the guys fit tragedy. You know those -- and although although although they actually called them like they're just one of those. Eluded overcome a lot of things -- emphatic as you know that there are we follow -- fourth quarter you know everything that -- won a bit went against their bid and we did we finally went but it if you look I don't want that's very important.
They get written revisiting the the Ewing Urlacher played one more time -- another observation I'm I'm made one thing you had going for you want that plate Tom -- of getting injured on an obviously is that no matter how bad that play it worked out it would look good by comparison to that double reversed to the short side -- all the pursuit like three plays before that.
Yeah well we've you know what -- played well in the -- Well and I think almost both gadget plays -- yuppies in. Sometimes you -- but it -- that's about it -- as iguchi both wherever I went and got Lawton so. It's -- would be like on -- I think they've made it difficult a lot of if they -- I'd appreciate
is it possible to have an option there with or Shea either handing it to Jackson or running. Keep it give yeah.
Not not me. Too complicated. It was a while back that -- the right. He's really got nobody up there.
But -- as one guy in space he doesn't have the option to read. The defense sort of like the option play in Oklahoma and keep the ball and keep keep running himself.
I'm needed that it happened so fast yeah me it'd be so hard. Population gotta look at not only did in the football villagers trying to assure. -- them. No -- I. Which and I would be -- protect.
Plus you know wide outs that they would never and the ball off -- if that they would always keep it. And we we we read -- heard a lot about the Tampa too deep densely heading into this game and the first thing they say and all the primer I read was. You gotta get pressure on the quarterback with the front four at bats the prerequisite to the this -- to be effective. Your guys protected you better than ever it was that the key to your offense that kept me you didn't get -- that was like two or three -- in the whole game. Was it was that the difference in your mind.
No question. I think they've already won one of the better D line we've faced this year and it -- the pressure on the quarterback every week and -- our guys stood now protected like. Like they never let -- cub related you know without bats without -- actually and a game. Ocean because what happens is that both -- the table it has seven guys and I was always a quarterback. And what religion movie I had the -- receivers get down load into the -- team can really. Separate the coveted try to highlight certain zone zone coverage defender sol is -- I -- and that she -- what happened went. About -- Tampa bay in the Super Bowl -- get the blue yup I'm an irrational act and -- Right because look you have to look back for the rest it would affect them. So he looks great you -- right that's but -- if you have time to throw you can -- and really picked I picked that as the collegiate adequate as particular -- there really allowed me to go through a second my third absolutely and that I was the biggest difference some -- right. Networks at bat in the city and I'm proud of those guys.
I was what wondered the other hole that went. Every time we heard about how Chicago does that we hear about Urlacher dropping into coverage. Does he dropped to deep because you went over the middle a lot a short over the middle is that a whole is that is that a flaw on the Tampa too if that if the middle linebacker drops away back there are champs of space in the middle.
Yes you should. With a two out there them -- the might find back to typically drops. There's people is the deepest receiver -- to that -- run amok through the middle of the of the Mike blalock besides I'd take off -- on the back economic field. Which allowed the safety on the outside to play a little bit -- He has the minute I got three deep coverage so at at that short. But it is true. But -- Ryan that goes to heaven if bam right back on the -- that -- Act as a complement the and and take issue. Amicable at the actual all of which really good policy and then. Well we can make some plays against that -- There's so many guys that if you all of that but protection just not going to be very successful at our metro tickets out.
On time from my stupid question of the interview does too does too and that does too much time for a quarterback -- view the -- who's that who's Kelly -- this has an answer is -- high schoolers -- a woman. When you were yelling sense -- that -- and Joe buck and Troy Aikman -- Joe buck was -- Detroit who was Aaron and I said -- probably is high school and strike was and I don't know he didn't know that called the --
there that you know -- we always you know take that check a lot of things that a lot of scrimmage. And that's just got a lot of offense and a microphone gotta take everything so.
yeah they do.
As I've been going to and they do what they do a lot of the same thing you know they're always. You kind of get looked from the deep -- you -- which you think is most appropriate it would be educate and then promptly got the best though you could be had so -- some of those cars. You know sometimes. So PGA UW I'm going to make -- call that I've got -- VP and what is going to go with the Lugo -- play.
That was that was my stupid question here's my stupid question that's too much time in the pocket ever create a problem for you and the reason I asked that is. You know you obviously have a clock ticking in your head and you know about when you have to get rid of the ball if you get more time that does that ever throw your timing off.
When the cornerback you develop -- murano pocketbook alignment particularly. Quickly what you need when you I want it moved I moved here from the book and I pocketed the road collapse then -- peripheral vision that. -- to -- that -- that it really wish I feel the pressure -- a little -- I think this guy coming. It's that and and -- drawback about it the only -- you look like. It's great week actually because you can get out of the league and look Ronald the only -- I've ever complain about it he might have a special real plane on which team. If you look at -- and -- although I would look laughed and they can't get back layup that's would you really bad. Going to complain about it that's acted and maybe negated there's just that might of worked out real well.
And when you first getting on the sidelines with a clipboard for all that time did you ever think you'd make a hundred starts in the National Football League.
Comment net and I food two and that that it is so much fun and I think playing quarterback yet those who have less volatile world that I could play. I'm not talk about -- through to play quarterback in and it this group but it went for the patriots now. -- six. And -- definitely great friend on the team they really -- off and I enjoyed it of those.
Tom there were one more than any quarterback that churches amaze him one more than than Bledsoe or broken. In in the brief time you've been there I mean you're still young and of one more than broken example.
Yeah it is either newspaper truly great that's a good quarterback. I used to do site to be that they look at.
On there were so many big seemingly game changing plays in that game lost on the radar. Or four plays on just two different examples in the kicking game first quarter gold makes the 40 yarder a false start makes him -- again and see more blocks the 45 yarder that at the end of the half got dusty missed the 52 yard yarder -- calls time -- he gets them -- again and and knocks at through in the overall scheme of things -- look at those that all the repute but those were. Game changing place at least on the scoreboard.
Deputy huge huge place who underwent about four point so that's a different main guy making a and I grew in this particular I think there's there's response from.
Yes -- 7 lead in a row.
So -- he's very good tickets that that was huge momentum like most ominously. Yeah so it was really. I'm -- challenging capability and I'm glad we came out that.
It would it would wait to ask your old friend teammate Brian Griese P expects to be. In there soon because there was a -- and among some of us that he was going to see some action yesterday.
Well thank god the united some activate of Adam Eaton at my such a competitive about all of. I think competition with them are few occasions and he resistance to competitive that would -- basically. He's he's got a lot of advantages as a player and I know we actually had an attitude like an -- so inundated quarterback situation -- everything. Looks well like a -- that it yesterday. That they go to a couple big guys.
It's -- when when you're on the field waiting for the reviews to come down and you you've thrown a couple of nearly perfect passes to Caldwell and Watson at the end of the first half. Both ruled catchers on the field bowl ultimately overturned up in the Booth do you -- called welcome back as Watson come back in that think they're going to I think the going to overrule this or you finding out like the rest of us.
Yeah and then you know -- I'm not really a -- out what.
issue it's yeah. Credibility when they can back to the to the -- right now. -- you gotta be aware. That that the -- at the end just kill your rushing yardage you respect for 12 yesterday but those real down to -- a Mets a two yard average and a pretty pretty close as to yard average -- kneeled down really really hurt your average year.
have you ever thought about doing a come close to do what Michael evicted at the -- yesterday's game and up disarm but he proved he could. Used -- fans.
All of I think. You've been through something I've been very good -- that you that you do that emotion of the game circulation I know he's you don't leave it there on the field. I -- of. But they have -- opinions that you can't you can't. Q -- in debt of 60000 people.
Have you ever done it and got away with a -- like in high school or college. It it the members of the cubs should do this after he's done paying the fines you might more money than he does.
A -- on a serious note does say yet serious gruesome injury likely witnessed yesterday. Have an effect either short or long term on teammates who who what some -- junior go down with a bad injury.
I of course of course he each come admitted defeat from the out that little guy brings to a team and -- gave -- spoke that a team with for the game and everybody resist. And you come and it works so. -- greatly that the -- a lot when you lose him but he's he's some special -- should be expected the it didn't look good.
No did no part time now for the work working your quarterback question of the week this went this week's question. Comes from Lisa up and Hudson New Hampshire who turned in the question at her local working your store I think -- entrances but last anyway -- Tom she says who is your favorite all time quarterback.
Well I've said this before -- wrong. You know agenda -- get it. Bits of Watkins these young those two. But I you know I have -- a lot of facial a lot of guys and like god told him he is technique -- that to try to -- market directly with the two best technicians -- back and beyond I'd remind him because like. And my place that. Would have been people watch and see how he can just take over games so and the government -- is there anybody else as they're bad to be reduced. So so dynamic -- go to Newton played for so long any Gilbert such a long period -- that they had to just one that there are going to -- I don't know group of Greg.
Are that the -- that your quarterback question of the week Lisa is now registered with a trip for two to the pro football championship game picture stop by your local working gears to answer your question for Tom and register for the trip to the big game -- on go eight and three 13 and three seem realistic top five black.
