Patriots: All for One (by espnmediazone)
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.”

Great 2011 Patriots Pump Up Video with audio from Any Given Sunday. We’ve seen Pats videos with this audio before but it still gets us every single time. It’s a little misty here in the Ministry of PatsPropaganda.

Tom Brady arrived in Indianapolis this week with the nice, clean record of 140-40 as a starter. That’s only 100 games over .500, including the playoffs, in his 10 years as a starting QB. An average year for Brady has been 14-4. No other quarterback has ever been 100 games over .500. No other quarterback has even come close. Brady has a regular-season winning percentage of .780. Behind Brady are Roger Staubach at .739, Joe Montana (.713) and Ben Roethlisberger (.708). Those three are the only others among the top 50 winningest NFL QBs who won more than 70 percent of their starts. Peyton Manning? 150-77, including the playoffs. Terry Bradshaw? 121-55. Only Montana (133-54) and Staubach (96-36) even sniffed the level Brady’s reached. Brady and Montana are tied for career playoff wins (16) and Brady’s a win on Sunday away from joining Montana and Bradshaw as the only quarterbacks to win four Super Bowls. In short, no quarterback’s ever won more often than Brady.
Curran: Nobody’s done it better than Brady
Great article from Tom E. Curran about how good Tom Brady really is. I mean not as good as Eli Manning of course, that guy’s elite, but Brady isn’t too far behind him.

Bill Belichick is a coaching contrarian with a plan – NFL – Yahoo! Sports
Belichick is one of sports’ most fascinating figures because in an era of conformity, access and image, he refuses to play along. He both cares and doesn’t care what people think about him, all at the same time. If you work a little to read between the lines, then a lot of it is obvious.
Asked if he’s ever successfully pranked quarterback Tom Brady, Patriots receiver Wes Welker ventured off on an unexpected, and humorous, tangent. “I pretty much make fun of his life, how terrible it is,” Welker deadpanned. “You go over and use his toilet and you press this button and it sprays water on you. I’m like, ’You’ve got to be kidding me.’ It’s heated, it’s all this stuff.” After fielding a few more serious questions, Welker revisited the Brady bidet. He’s going to be mad at me for bringing that up. He’s always so humble and so everything,” Welker said. “I don’t know, sometimes I just want to go over to his house and use the restroom. … He lives a good life.

Every now and then Bill Belichick sings the praise of an individual player. Usually he deflects specific player questions into team generalization. You know the drill. A reporter asks about a certain player who’s struggling or shown promise and Belichick responds with something along the lines of “the player did some good things, needs to […]
