Can a Troubled Tom lead the Patriots Sunday?
Tom Brady is criticizing the rest of the New England Patriots for not listening to the coaches after last Sunday's shutout loss from Miami.
This is definitely something you don't want to hear from a leader like Tom Brady. If the quarterback does not believe in the rest of the team, how will the team believe in him?
The coach STILL believing in his quarterback will.
New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick
stands by his franchise quarterback's comments about his teammates not listening to the coaches. Apparently, Brady had castigated certain members of the team for freelancing instead of staying within the framework drawn up by the coaches.
''I have all the respect in the world for Tom,'' Patriots head coach Brian Belichick said. ''I think he has a real good sense of what this game is about, and what our team is about. Whatever he said, I would stand by.''
The Patriots were shocked by the Miami Dolphins last Sunday, shutting them out and sacking Brady more times than the Patriots leader is accustomed to. Of course, Tom Brady voiced out his displeasure.
''I think this team has to listen more to what the coach says,'' Tom Brady said. ''I think if we listen more and did more of what our coaches told us to do, I think we'd be a lot better off. But at times, I think we figure we can do it our way, and we show there is quite a bit of inconsistency to that.''
There were mixed reactions on Brady's statement. Linebacker Tedy Bruschi certainly didn't like it, saying that his defense team ''accepts coaching.''
Things certainly doesn't look good for the New England Patriots at this point of the NFL Football season. Luckily for them, they only have the Houston Texans visiting them at Foxboro Sunday.
