Mike Reiss posted this quote from a clip that didn’t make the final cut of ESPN’s The Brady Six that airs Tuesday night:
Shea shared another memory from when he was with the San Diego Chargers and the Brady-led Patriots visited in the AFC Divisional Round.
“We sat there at my house, watching the Ravens-Colts game, and we’re talking shop. I was hurt, so I wasn’t playing in that game, and he says, ‘By the way, I’m going to tell you what, we’re going to beat you tomorrow.’ He was looking at me very seriously and my wife looked over and I said ‘You’re crazy, man, we’re the best team in the NFL,’" Shea recalled.
“He started going through the team, saying ‘This guy is overrated, he gets beat on double-moves, and one of your safeties, I’m going to take advantage of him all day long.’
Love it, and I was at this game and the funny thing is that Brady actually didn’t have a good game. He made a couple clutch plays when he needed to, but if not for Troy Brown’s fumble recovery the Pats were probably heading home.
Brady certainly seemed to take advantage of their safeties on the long pass to Reche Caldwell that set up that game winning FG.
