Back in those days, Brady was unmarried, with no kids or obligations. And he spent all of his time on football. Miller used to laugh at the fact that Brady didn’t know much about politics or just about anything else going on in the world outside the football offices back then. He didn’t have time. His impromptu quarterback meetings over breakfast on game days were like lightning rounds on quiz shows. He’d have his backups run him through a fire drill of questions and possible scenarios.

Even if Corey Graham has the athleticism and the talent to keep up with Wes Welker, the bigger concern becomes whether the Ravens will be able to adapt on the fly and get everybody in the right place against the league’s fastest offense without making mental mistakes. Peyton Manning only had a decent game throwing against the Ravens out of an occasional no-huddle last week, but that Denver offense doesn’t run the no-huddle in the same way that New England does. It had a devastating impact on the Texans, and it could end up being a difference-maker against Graham, Brown, and even veterans like Ed Reed. All the talent in the world doesn’t matter if you’re not in the right place.

Chandler Jones won’t tell Arthur Jones how his ankle feels | ProFootballTalk

Good job, Chandler.

The Patriots take secrecy about injuries seriously. So seriously that rookie defensive end Chandler Jones won’t tell his own brother how he’s feeling. Of course, that’s largely because Chandler’s brother, Arthur Jones, plays for the Ravens. Arthur told reporters this week that he saw Chandler suffer an ankle injury on Sunday and was concerned, but Chandler wouldn’t tell him how he was doing because he doesn’t want the Ravens to have any insight. “I know he got rolled up bad last week, so I was trying to figure out if he was going to play or not and get the inside scoop,” Arthur Jones said, via USA Today. “But he’s doing a good job not telling me anything.”
