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.
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.
assume carries effect games might negative number physical
I would assume the number of games and carries he might get would not have any negative effect on him because he's such a big, strong, physical guy.
couple game last played poorly
I don't know that we've played as poorly in a game as we did the game the other day, in the last couple of years.
cannot complacent games good playing winning
We cannot be complacent with playing good but not winning games.
ball ends factor field game history losing major opponent quite short single throughout turn winning
It was a game that ends up like most if you turn the ball over. You give the ball to the opponent on a short field and that is the one single thing that throughout the history of this game has always been the major factor in winning or losing games. We're quite disappointed.
approach best game
The best way I could characterize it is we will approach it like it's the first game of the year.
accurately anxious career game might predict problem score surface time
The problem with that is every time I've ever done that in my career it's been a low-scoring game and when I've thought it (would be) a low-scoring game it was a shootout. Going in, on the surface you might think that, but I don't think there's any way to accurately predict it. All we're anxious to do is find a way to score one more than they have. That's all we care about.
game seven won
We won the first game of a nine-game season. Those other seven are gone.
albeit game gets himself opportunity player prepare sure unilateral
You're damned if you do, damned if you don't. You need to make sure that each player gets an opportunity to prepare himself for the game tempo, albeit (in) preseason. So you end up making arbitrary, unilateral decisions.
absolutely cannot coached football game last nfl remarkable remember time worked
The most remarkable thing of this whole football game, and I've been doing this a long time, I cannot remember the last time that I coached a game in the NFL when there was only one penalty. That was absolutely remarkable and unfortunately we had the one. But we'll get that worked out.
add chances destined football game likelihood lose percent strong winning
Add the minus-three giveaway-takeaway, I think there's a very, very strong likelihood that you're going to lose those football games. If you're minus-three giveaway-takeaway, the chances of winning a game are down around 20 percent or something like that. You can't live that way. If you live that way, you're destined for failure.
ball care clear difference games point position possesses winning
The point I've made very clear to him, and I made very clear to you: You will not play quarterback or any other position that possesses the ball for me. You have to take care of the ball because it's the difference between winning games in this league.
game
I think it's needed. The game is about the team, not the individual.
