O’Brien believes part of the reason Brady’s football memory is so effective is that he lives football every day, every hour, every minute. “When it’s football season, it is 24/7 football. Even when he’s not in the building, we have email contact, telephone conversations about the game plan, about what we’re seeing, about the defense we’re playing against,” he said.

“I think football and family are 1-A and 1-B in his life. You have to prepare for him 10 times as a coach, just to keep up with him.” “His life revolves around football. During the season, everything he does is geared toward that Sunday, that three hours he’s out there,” Hoyer added. “That’s something I can learn from and see what it takes to be the best, to focus all your energy on the task at hand. He’s able to do that week in and week out.”

As for how Brady’s memory and recall help the Patriots, the examples are countless. Perhaps more than anything, it allows the Patriots to speed up the adjustment process on the sideline.

Instead of using defensive linemen as rushers in practice, coach Bill Belichick had much lighter players — mostly linebackers — attack the unit from all angles. They won’t replicate the size of the Giants players, such as the 6-foot-3, 255-pound Osi Umenyiora. So they focused on the speed. “We have a group of guys who have done it all week for us,” offensive line coach Dante Scarnecchia said. “They’re undersized, but we just have them going as fast as they can go, just giving us the fastest tempo they can give us. That’s been a huge help.”

When trying to describe Adams and what he does, team employees shrug. Some profiles indicate he should be 57, but he has no official biography with the team and therefore no way to check. He is in the coaches’ box during games, but no coaches or players will say whether he is the one talking to Belichick on his headset. What they do say is he dissects tape better than anyone they’ve seen; that he can see things on the field that nobody else would ever find; that he is brilliant; and that he attacks football problems for Belichick, whom he leaves his office to see two or three times a day. “I think he has a photographic memory,” O’Brien says. Others who have worked with him say the same thing. “Essentially, he is one of the people who meet with Belichick at Belichick’s level,” explains Jay Robertson, who was an assistant coach at Northwestern in the early 1970s and has remained friends with Adams since. Adams has always been a genius in that way you might read about in a book or see in a move but never believe such a person could be real. He was raised in the elite prep schools of Massachusetts: Dexter School in Brookline and Phillips Academy in Andover, and there was no limit to what fed his curiosity. But his passion was football.
