A lot of the guys we're playing, we recruited. We recruited Brady very hard. |
He's a big, strong football player and he's hard to get to the ground even when you get to him. He's got a great arm [and] can find the open receiver. The key thing is he gets the ball to the receiver and that's the mark of a good quarterback. |
His position doesn't allow him to make the plays out in space and he's probably not as noticeable. But from our standpoint as a staff, what he does (at the line of scrimmage), he's every bit as important as anybody else on the team. |
It was my understanding that we'd be lucky to have him in the spring. He's still working on getting healthy so he can compete better. At times, he just hasn't felt comfortable enough with it. |
It'd be crazy to think that score from last year wasn't in everybody's brain. |
It's great to see him come through that. He's been through a lot of adversity with injuries since he has been here. He has had a great senior year, and you always want that to happen to good people who continue to work hard, and that was certainly him. |
The nice thing about bowl practice, for young guys, is it gives them a chance to have a little bit more attention. True freshmen, when they come in É they don't get a lot of attention. The bowl practice is a chance for them to showcase what they are and what they can do. |
We've faced a lot of good offenses, so I don't know that that's going to be any different. |
When he first showed up at the office, he had lost a lot of weight and was not real good looking. |
