As for Xs and Os football, Brady detailed some of the issues he’s had in recent games against the Giants.

“I was holding the ball too long. They have some blitz schemes that are challenging to handle [and] as a quarterback, you can’t sit back there and think that you’re going to have all day to throw the ball,” he said. “You have to be able to find guys quickly and get the ball to them. You have to throw the ball with accuracy. You throw a quick pass and it’s half a foot behind the receiver, it slows him up and he’s tackled for a 5-yard gain. Whereas if you throw it one foot in front of his numbers, he catches it and he gains 12. That’s how you need to play this game.”

Brady also explained how he’s been handling this week with tight end Rob Gronkowski out of practice.

“We’re always communicating back and forth about his routes and the schemes that we have that are a little bit different for this game.” he said. “He’s a fast learner. He’s played every game, he’s practiced every single day this year [prior to his injury]. He has a pretty good understanding of what we’re doing. It’s not like he has to figure out how to play football again. Probably the break is good for him in a sense that he hasn’t been beat all week in practice. Hopefully he can go out there and play.”
