Cuz it looks like Tom Brady is having some trouble adjusting to that knee:
Thursday night Tom Brady [stats] learned this comeback from major knee surgery thing may not be quite as easy as he thought.
Brady hasn’t looked right all summer, except in drills when he knew no one was coming at him with bad intentions. His arm is fine and his surgically repaired knee may be as well, but there is a psychological side to recovery from major surgery that is a complicating factor.

IMO, it has nothing to do with the knee.. he has always folded if he gets knocked around.. most qb's do.

I want to see JT's 99 implanted on Brady's jersey this year.

We could have a pretty scary pass rush this season. I can't wait to see how we match up against the Pats.opfinistic, mullingan, dolfan7171 and 1 other person like this. -
Brady has always been awful when pressured. He's probably the best QB in the league when he has all day to throw as his line has given him the last.....forever. But the few times he's had serious pressure he has not looked like an elite QB.
-
To be honest, Brady is small potatoes right now, our opening 3 games are killers, we are looking at 300 million dollars worth of all pro Qb types and whatever passrush we have has to show up for us to avoid a poor start.
Don't forget folks, we started out 2-4 last season then made a run, if we want to overtake the Patsies, we cannot start out as poorly.

I don't wish injury on any player, but I do want to see JT & JP make him run screaming like a baby.opfinistic, HugeFinFan, SCall13 and 8 others like this. -

got a feeling the Triad of Terror (Porter, Taylor, Wake) will bring his season to an early end
there's a lot of bad blood between Miami & the Cheaters, especially where Jason Taylor is concerneddolphindebby likes this. -
This is the one thing I've been arguing all summer with my friends. I am not afraid of the Pats. I want to see how Brady reacts when players are flying at his feet and trying to kill him before I pick the division winner.
With that said, I still expect the Pats to win the division, lol. -
I want him to get hit so many times by Joey and Jason that they are in his dreams and tattoes are on his back. LOL

What stands out to me is that he was a bit shaken up by a four man rush from the Cincinnati Bengals. I could be wrong here but I can't recall the Bengals have a threatening pass rusher since the year before Justin Smith got his max contract from the San Francisco 49ers. I think even Robert Geathers produced that year but not so much after that. The way I look at it is, if Brady's offensive line is struggling with a four man rush then what does that say about them when we face them and include zone blitzes, etc ? My point is that Brady might have to get over the mental aspect of the injury quickly because he's probably going to take quite a bit of shots. He's still got the pocket presence but when your pocket is collapsing from the interior and exterior, there's not much room to go and you have to take on the hits.

That's weird, i've heard nothing but positive reports on his performance until that report. Both on the web and on sirius. They said he's moved around well, was tested last week against cincy and took hits and still kept going fine.
Been throwing all the throws in practice.
As long as he's not hiding pain, Brady will be brady, but he could show psycological effects if you get to him early and often in a particular game to get him second guessing that "one more hit".
Intersting developments nonetheless. OUr pass rush better get to him. -
B) The Patsies are in the Northeastern Media market, when they are going well they are on TV screens in homes in much more densely packed areas.
C) 3 SB's are hard to argue with.
We got a "trap" schedule given to us by the NFL this season we play the Patsies twice in less than 3 weeks, the first game is when the Patsies are coming off of a bye week when they are like 8-0 coming off of bye weeks under Belicheat.
That sort of schedule pressure is one of the reason why we cut those players today, Sparano and the Staff just do not have the time to mess around with guys who won't be here when the ball drops in Atlanta in 3 weeks.
Our passrush is fine, our Db's are not, keep in mind the Panthers were gashing the "D" for nice yardage...without either one of their starting Wr in the game...
Bowles and DC Pasqualoni have their work cut out for themselves.gafinfan and The Aqua Crush like this. -

Brady folded when JT knocked him around and we won 21-0, then the Giants proved Brady can't play when he doesn't have all day in the pocket when they won the SB and ended the Pats 18-0 season.
ALL the teams that Play the Pats will be VERY aware of that Giants game and be putting as much pressure on Brady as they can. Us included. I can't wait to see Brady screaming at his own players again on the sideline, and I do NOT think the Pats win the division this season, I think WE do! :up: -
you can bet your *** teams are gonna sick the dogs on him.

No, he is NO Dan Marino or even Bob Griese when it comes to coming back from an injury. They will not win the division and in so far as TB will have to live with that (in his head, for he will blame himself) we may see the end of this so called Super Man. Remember his reaction after missing Moss, A throw he always made before, and then he sits down and explodes. He knows he's in trouble.
I love it!!!!:lol::lol::up: -
IMO when he fails, it'll be every one else's fault but his. He'll never really take the blame for anything.

JT is in his head(and Matt Light's for that matter).
