Will Brady’s comments about defensive players hurt him? (1 Viewer)

[breesgirl]

So, for those who don’t know Brady essentially called defensive players less intellectual than offensive players. He equated them to “dogs chasing cars”.

This morning on First Thing’s First Demario was asked about those comments during his interview, and he basically said that although it was partly in jest, Brady may have to answer to his own Defense for his remarks. You could tell Demario didn’t care for it and not just because he’s an opponent. It’s because he knows how hard he and his fellow defensive players (regardless of team) study film, too. He named some of the premiere defensive players on the Buc’s team and said Tom would probably need to explain that to them.

I’m thinking that even though most defenders want to shut Tom down they will really be putting something extra on those hits after those dismissive comments. What do you all think about those comments and how defenders across the league may respond to it?

meh. Division rivalries, especially ones that played 3 games the previous year are already about as ramped up as its possible to get.

Brady knows if any defensive player breathes on him, they are getting penalized.

Also, big words from a guy who got outsmarted and outclassed in embarrassing fashion by Jonathan Vilma in 2009, who went on to call the defense against Peyton Manning in the Super Bowl and hold the Colts to 17 points.

I firmly Tom Brady could kick a puppy and people will give him a pass. Now, I don't think he would, but I hate Tom on general principle, so.

I wish to go on record saying: I hate that man. Tom Brady.

there is zero need for this team to reach for bulletin board material against a division opponent who leads us by a game, whom we curb stomped in the regular season last year but snuck by a wounded warrior team in the playoffs
motivation will not be an issue

I wish a dog would chase Tom Brady in front of a car.

I doubt the Saints pull something like that, but I could easily see a big man in the middle 'accidentally stumbling' onto Brady's ankles, maybe driving it down again while trying to get up. Or maybe some player goes full dirty and drives his collarbone(s) into the turf Anthony Barr-style.

Wait, what’s firm. Brady or the kick?

For the puppy's sake, I hope Tom's wearing those ugly arse Uggs.

Dem Juice Boyzz versus the "ageless" QB who I believe is obviously "juicing" somehow. When an athlete's physical performance at a much older age greatly exceeds the norm, there's almost always a reason. Just look at major league baseball in the past and Lance Armstrong. It appears to me that Tom's arm is stronger now than a few years ago. That has NEVER happened in NFL history and I have to wonder.

Could be some artificial enhancements....but have you actually seen his diet & lifestyle? It is fairly extreme in order to be in peak physical condition.
