brady brings cases certainly confidence defense doubt field football game gang guy hope kicking offense overlook position talks team tom
Everyone talks about the confidence Tom Brady has in what he does and I don't doubt that. But let's not overlook the confidence that he brings to every other guy on that football team on offense or defense or the kicking game - 'let's get the ball back; let's get field position because Tom can do it.' He is certainly not a one-man gang there, but to me, the one thing a quarterback can bring is hope and certainly he not only brings you hope, but in most cases if you give him an opportunity, he will get it done.
At the end of the day, he'll be here, and that's what's most important.
good juncture year
At this juncture I don't think that we're punting it as good as we had a year ago.
balls brings couple element field kerry maybe obviously question threw thrown
There's no question that (missing) the big-play element that he brings was obviously a factor. I know that Kerry threw a couple of balls down the field that were overthrown. Had they been thrown to Randy, maybe they wouldn't have been overthrown.
against ball beat blitz bring chance key prepared pressure yards
You always have to be prepared because they bring pressure from anywhere. But the key is if you can make yards against them on first down, and then it's second-and-4, second-and-5. Then you got a chance to, at the worst, get it to third-and-2 or third-and-3 and a chance to get the ball out and beat the blitz with the ball.
continue effort energy good playing
We're a good team. As long as we continue to play with that kind of effort and energy that we're playing with, we're going to be able to do the things we set out to do.
combine player
That's the kind of a player he (was). And when you combine that with his competitiveness and his skill, there's no doubt.
approaches elevate folks happen last position successful trying year
That's the way he approaches things, and that's why we were successful last year. He realizes that for us to go where we're trying to go ... he and his position are going to have to elevate their play. We snuck up on some folks a year ago, and that's not going to happen this year.
handful plays team
That's what it's about. You're going to have a handful of opportunities to make plays and the team that makes them is going to prevail.
entertain next
I won't even entertain that question. Next question.
language last learned necessary speed successful takes technique together
I think so, because of the language that had to be learned and understood. The last thing you get is the technique because the language you can put together. But to be able to put the fundamentals together at the speed necessary to be successful takes some time. You can't have a lot of thought going through your mind.
area perform sync
I think part of it had to do with footing. We never really got into the kind of sync that you like to get in. But we did not perform well in any area today.
extremely fact given number opportunity played pleasantly prior start
I thought he played extremely well. He's very, very competitive. He's bright. Given the fact he went through a number of circumstances prior to getting the opportunity to come in and start and play, I was pleasantly surprised.
close couple failed games home last offensive side stadium ways weeks win
We have not done the things on the offensive side particularly the last couple of weeks that you need to be able to do. Normally, we find ways to win at home (they were 4-4 at Qualcomm Stadium this season), we find ways to win close games ---- and we have failed to do that this season.
