[0:00]" Are up -- conversation with Tom Brady has brought to you by the new AT&T more bars in more places the new AT&T -- world delivered the morning Tom congratulations on sixteen and -- congratulations on the MVP like get for the MVP elected gym bags full smart water what do yet."

[0:18]" I doubt that the good question at the beginning and -- in a and that's about it."

[0:24]" You don't like cattle lakers' look like that that's the superbowl -- right. You eat do you regret the guy that didn't vote NL in my tuning we got his name frank Cooney."

[0:36]" I know you get bigger -- it was one on that would be around."

[0:42]" Was there one fleeting instant you said someone voted for someone else."

[0:50]" not a even know -- and only. You know. A light who took the but it people they Morgan open -- you."

[1:08]" Did you watch a lot of wild card weekend football. Are not -- were just discussing before you before you called in here and I am I going to tell you obviously if if you. At the same feeling and and I hope -- not in. That's been the so plausibly that you won't that you won't say doubles the truth. I lost -- Tom. I lost -- public time watching wild card weekend playoff football teams by the way. Who could not manage the clock could figure out when to step out of bounds stepped in bounds how to make the right thing happened with 234 minutes left in the game those kinds of things did you watch -- you know why. And also all quarterbacks sure Roberts Alford is why don't get old humorous to exactly EC guys who couldn't get open the way your guy has two and a second this doesn't happen -- the patriots did she say. Thank a lot of in the situation I'm in."

[1:59]" I noticed in my that and I and I really thought the best team that would open in the game do so. A lot of that I think come down to. We we call out of the situation what ball and we practiced that quite a bit we talk about staying in bounds that's going -- or work. Even like that -- in the late clock. -- like that of that nature and and and I think it's really magnified a playoff games I I think back on I've been in in when your plan to. The best opponent every little mistake you make it magnified because I don't penalty and the drive in you know that's in the gained a lot of and the come down to one guy. But in the beginning so. You know important situation at this record against the clerk. That's huge flat feet and they make the play that and it -- although we will bring that out. In those. In those huge. And those big atmosphere with. Most -- pressure high points of the game and you just gotta hope that your most any of those situations that come up and I think. And it can come our team we try to practice goes and looked at each week so we get these situations it's not like. We're learning as we go it's kind of like we. Understood the situation that we're going to try to and OM is that we."

[3:31]" As you're watching Pittsburgh Jacksonville go back and forth -- you. And I not rooting but he thinking you're jobless a little easier if Pittsburgh wins and speakers. You just played them and and an easy and prepared for them Jacksonville if it's been a year does that make it tough -- to do more work this week to get ready for Jacksonville."

[3:51]" Yeah I I really. Think about booking their abilities are very good -- at I think similar out the bulk of the ball really well they have. They have put it in the passing game under control -- Their offices aren't built to really throw the ball as much as obviously like India would like. And that the -- played very hard physical type schemes. So what seemed a brace similar I really felt that we played. I knew where to play the better team I think Jacksonville has proven that they -- thirteen -- we knew you gotta play the worst teams above do -- that go there there going to be which."

[4:42]" you know you made a good point that little things when the teams are much more even when you're not talking about you know one and fifteen dolphins team against the patriots talk about teams that you know deserve to be there. Situational football aside. Talent and coaching aside when he -- in the playoff -- what the intangibles. The separate the patriots from all these really good teams you've managed to beat in the playoffs over the years."

[5:06]" Is an experience that they'll I think. It's really liked him in the most pressurized situations you've got to perform. As well as you possibly I think. As a team in because we have constant pressure on the will always forced to the other way. With a difficult situation in practice. And fortunately again that we're we're talking after the buffalo game the second game yet I would go well for one. And -- that trying to duplicate what one you know we're trying to improve a minute pressure situation we're trying to eat that we XQ we need. And then you know. But come up later in the -- like Baltimore where we got -- wind and we might not have a twenty point lead but. We know that that's not the first one that we and then go to Portland that we converted. And I think as opinion you panic and confidence to you can make those plays whenever you -- and we do it and practice event -- the games I really feel that carries over I think. We do two minute -- practiced that to country Wednesday to victory that a -- trouble in the game against the jackpot that word in the play. And suddenly get out there in if if that happened to be this situation you get out there and say we -- three days of practice. You know we're. Sure that this situation what the same but there was pressure on. To -- in that situation so why why can't we do right now and that's what we try to do. So I would say. I would I would say that we try to create coach has put that much pressure on it and create difficult situations as that when they come up. In those playoff -- They'll work I'd brought there and execute them. The best that we know I'll."

[7:16]" A how much of an advantage is it to have the the buy you at watching that game and -- Whatever team gets through this game that Pittsburgh Jacksonville game is going to come limp and in the New England because they know was physically hit so hard that. You see a guy like Anderson you know hobbled off. Do you do you feel like there's any rust versus rest fact or do you feel like it's a real big edge to get the week off."

[7:43]" Well a minute there's there's no doubt that you would take the that we everytime I think an individual -- that. Against Jacksonville it's really -- one we. I think if you look at it in the big picture you'd say it would you rather play one home game in two games on the road. To try to get the Super Bowl like we did last year or would you rather have to all games. Accredited to the ball so you you obviously have the advantage. Played two -- game -- the -- game with two on the road but at the same time. You know Jackson goes through -- local -- so now they just have to go on the -- win one game in order tickets for next. So I think you know for -- We hope that we get we got -- you know we spent some I'm working on. On the scene that we might state this week try to get a budget being up late last week drive and right now we get to work in. And get this -- Ortiz start all over the place and -- coaches who work of -- on deck and -- yesterday. So hopefully we have a little bit of an advantage over them the terms of preparation it's ultimately become doubt that. We perform under pressure like as that which. That that means a great we practiced you know in the coming."

[9:09]" That's your specialty would you agree the New England Patriots and you've been here and Belichick and this whole run. I mean you guys are great under pressure your great December January team. And I know the sixteen and all things still kind of looms if you undefeated season still hanging over your. But you guys have always been good in big pressure situations."

[9:32]" I think we performed. We performed well -- but I'm I -- last year after Indy we prepare but we played better I don't think so -- Our but I do feel that you're right I think in those Super Bowl game we we played very well we played very well -- you'd like Pittsburgh and look forward. -- really well it's an entirely different team jumped out effected this team has played well under pressure. We've been out when it's time. In game in the second half on the road and found a way to make those plays we needed them outburst that often to be gained from. Promote performances and we're certainly going to need to rely on those as we move forward because. This game going to be our shoddy in the -- there's no doubt about it and I don't but and realizing everything that we learned over the past sixteen weeks. -- rely on both experienced this. Is so hopefully like that put our best out there."

[10:36]" It's as best you can the dumb this down so we can grasp it you talked about the great week of preparation. What will approach would be of the offensive line getting ready for a defensive line like the Jacksonville Jaguars is. Nothing's changed this week in getting ready free gigantic you know physical hit two in the mouth offensive line as opposed to a smaller up quicker athletic line."

[10:58]" Certainly I think. You do you use certain blocking scheme that. It's been very helpful B and their big and they're wrong and they all rush you very different and if you watched it again I live in in the one -- the -- some big guys to. But at this that would you know Anderson. In -- Spicer up -- other big powerful tough rusher that -- and they don't need it usually bring bring in connection with an account to stop definitely don't be because they yelled at linebacker in the deep at the line. So that we you just gotta make sure that you're not one matchups and you don't want to. -- single week because. Number I don't win this year matchup -- and the strength is is that front seven and they get playmaker secondary 79 Rashean Mathis so the team all. Because I'm always special teams -- good at least what Maurice Jones threw it on the kickoff return so. The reason -- in this position because they do a lot of things go well. There too frequently and as we do things well it's just -- come out who makes -- when you need."

[12:25]" So social following up level get too technical here but I'm trying to understand because it's it's important that you stay up right to steal. The your protection calls changed this week against that kind of line and do your offensive line change there. Technique to keep you up right."

[12:40]" Well I think their technique is well and they've been working in. Of course the feet and it's not like that and out he chooses the strike that the and that's going to change. You'd have to understand your opponent and when you play a guy like Michael Strahan like we -- last week or era were Osi Umenyiora they have different type of move you know one guy we have a plate trying to like make in -- movement -- the pocket so. He spoke on the identical and he regard to try to get inside for the -- you know great inside -- so what you said yeah. You know that -- idiot side you're never did indeed inside like that kind of is go to move. Just like we use that as a passing game when you attack certain quarterbacks okay this quarterback late this particularly well work this -- people run this well particularly well if I'd give up I should. Or idea about the pass rush group. I'm certainly not going to get beat Bible. So you have to understand the type of you know -- the player and you have to incorporate those in -- they'll do you do well on as. You know -- as the player -- you try to understand their strength and try to alleviate their their best after -- who work. What -- deep and does well in. That that it out at the other thing."

[14:17]" I know your a confident guy with lofty aspirations but when you're a sixth round pick in Europe fourth string quarterback. You ever see a day when -- the MVP of the league and and and by the way a couple of people wrote last week that your. A lock hall of Famer -- thirty years old -- a lock hall of Famer. Is that beyond even your wildest dreams."

[14:41]" Well I think the pack expect out of that you're beyond our history and."

[14:48]" What was your goal coming out when you were drafted. Was your goal to make the team to start in the NFL -- that one game the -- one year to get a -- to look better than it did in the draft a video that the."

[14:59]" And who was to -- speculative most I don't know etiquette that they destroyed. I really and -- that was about it yet drafted I got drafted as I hope I can make peace and when -- when I realized immediately I hope I can."

[15:28]" You know compete to be a cup here and then as I did that was an okay maybe one pitching part. And that lifeboat but maybe we can. You know trial with a budgeting and and it was okay but you know we got a chance to win the Super -- and then it struck when another award. And it's it's really been a progression and I don't think of mr. tropic of saying okay well let's shift. We're going to try to go out best spot and an issue of football. Not really natural progression but much -- Just continue to try to improve it. And I. You know last week have been so fortunate to be apart -- it allowed me to be apart and could be in this situation to come to fifteen when I -- is. That that opportunity and have coach Belichick can be the best coach in history -- colonel. With all the -- attribute that well under pressure package and -- he. Put together this team mr. crap -- new. It will depend of the organization ultimately you know any business that -- expert but the and they've just. They've they've never compromise their goals and and because the that it -- he could just all the -- and the great part about my quarterback here that are I have to do I get a quarterback I don't have to worry about. Deep sense I don't have to worry about the receivers don't have without a running game but coaching -- take care of itself but at least I to do my job been through -- at -- that possibly can and I mean at. That's the best position -- any errors so. This I think that was coming to a great position and and -- that would take him opportunities and just like a lot of hiking. And I'm glad I'm building around out there and continue to happen to that they achieved coming up."

[17:38]" In the and that's sixty minutes interview that you say you ask yourself you know that all there is even after three Super Bowls is that a football question like you know you've accomplished everything you can accomplish but it's just a -- satisfied -- is that about life in general."

[17:56]" I've been you know I think we're back at bat that was three years ago we -- cup -- In out of them and I'm not that you know look and had taken in the big picture it's real -- whatever you achieve that you work what are what. She's you achieved. You know personally you you're always. Looking for another check junior always look at another aspect of light that you can. Improve in things that go you as a person. If they get and I was -- and we could just in Super Bowl -- that. -- take the cake it would sit there and you keep doing well -- chipped it now because I'm not. I -- That the audit that is. You have to motivate you every aspect I think me and my career. It's not. NDP not throwing a -- it's not sometimes it's not witnessed -- motivate them to get everything in the world but the purpose. And an understanding now -- mature very good at something and -- Spilled -- waste improve as well but motivate other players at the position in. All all in the hopes of achieving your post collectively. And that's why it's extremely frustrating when you lose games and that's like extremely -- you don't achieve your goals by. You know I mean sixty you know one game and I'm gone. It's incredible we want pop the champagne -- that it's a game it would be more strategy and -- You know whether it be at the touchdown record amount that commitment and electrical. There's more out there and -- hope this team. Can achieve what we set out and whether we do not special. We're going to do everything we can't. And make sure that we finish off the right --"

[20:16]" It's out for you personally what's more satisfied or or maybe even more simplistic what what's more fun. Playing in a fifty point blowout win where you're playing pitch and catch with a wide receivers and you're not even breaking a sweat or a last minute nail biting come from behind win like -- against the giants."

[20:33]" That's a great question. I think you're going through the good people waited held up better you know like out of I think what you reflect back -- no way. I would ever want it last season and then it. So it's now that viewpoint in -- becoming at that contact at climactic I think if gone out the wire and we got a four point deficit it was record. I think that's what you want to be remembered that this you know you you take that elected commit situation for a quarterback when -- You know it's pressure it's stressed what you could do that conflict that X. And we keep doing it you look back and you can't look what we did you know that we look what we did -- credit -- profits compared. For the ballot in which you about that as well again we. I remember a game that probably in one of the game and number most in -- a couple of the Chicago Bears game which campaign in 2002. While we're down eleven like three minutes left -- a touchdown pass to David Patten just got to put in its second and by only inch two win that game where you're at the -- play out and it. Another one would have been at Miami game that maybe it was now eleven repaired left want to -- that you wouldn't really think you remember that much. Because of the situation you're in your member of that celebration locker after the -- the one that really stick out in my."

[22:09]" Did you have with when Josh mcdaniels issued the statement saying he's standing there he's not going anywhere. You have like his dog held hostage yourself the -- or you like you've typed it sitting on his chest."

[22:22]" Cody does that did not he's I think gosh. If -- which are you you can. I'm very close to -- you can have opportunities so. So that dated you know he he stopped coach whatever you want to beauty which you can act I think -- confidence in all the bad -- so. A lot of people always they'll put you through when I do when your cotton and I think is why is that north under -- you. Do you not have confidence in yourself -- This is going to be the only that you do well in value you always make a player and a good coach alluded to -- actually -- well you have to. And whatever situation comes up a Buick and at that time but it. Josh has done a great job there's no doubt about it he's very deserving of the of that credit and accolades he works extremely hard. I think well look at that the coach in. I would -- cute for a long long if it's up to meet you will be you intrigue as bold as well."

[23:34]" It's our final question for me that sort of off the beaten track but I'm wondering as a guy who's reached the professional sports status you have. Can you in any form or fashion empathize with relate to or sympathize with what Roger Clemens is going through now having accomplished everything anything and everything. A pitcher in this day and age camp and now battling just to save his legacy and his good name ought in the court of public opinion."

[23:59]" Yeah I -- like the sixty minute and the commitment that the hot topic up I was. -- such a Barry Bonds and I don't I have a different they take on it and that would a lot of people so. You know I'm not -- that we don't agree with doing anything of that nature. You know but it. I wish people -- with -- I think for the Duca caught patient now. And and if you keep completely ruin somebody's life. You know without really put backs and and I wish we on the back up like work and you patient judgment based on. What one person might fail to people might -- The funny thing if you take two people who share the exact same experience. That witnessed this event and make commonly with a wood to lead a perspective and that's. That's so we do you have experiences. And you take away from it based on experiences that meant you relate that other people. Look at it. Wichita -- the -- we don't hand and not once truly -- in the people that it doesn't affect my life with each use it is so. I choose not to worry about it and not really judge lucrative could I don't know what anybody situation is and they beat and as long as -- The way to you choose to live your life were prepared and your life and didn't go obviously tonight but I'd I'd sure whoever Roger Clemens the going to affect. Anything in my life so I don't get too caught up in that I do sympathize with the fact that -- you know on the -- for long. What is the benefit of the doubt. Well that he can understand that they're you know not really done because. These things -- mountain and we want to just especially the way that I think. In that information so that we don't ever want. Whether it's not just put up there and no religion -- if they do they just attractive if you if and that's part of what happens by the world and as well so -- pitch counts in. And you don't -- batted in the in the that's the way it is war you know wherever he. At a public life you Clemens -- there on of people who. When associated with the things like that this is kind of which it."

Was real helicopter behind you is that Photoshop. There was the real -- about really -- I guess that was the Photoshop bisons led the work since his helicopter. Will that take."
