Is Brady Calling ALL His Own Plays? - New England Patriots Forums

***IcyPatriot*** · 09-20-2009, 09:35 PM

Seems like Brady is calling his own plays out there. Seems like he's given the packages of players and he goes from there. Looks like it's taking an extra second or 2 for him to scan the players going into the huddle so he knows his options from there.

Of course he calls audibles and changes the plays at the line but I get the sense that they are working on a new system here where he calls the plays. He has called more audibles as he has progressed in his career but I think he's taken over now. I think it's Charlies/Josh's offense that Tom and O'Brien have tweaked so Tom can call the shots now.

Opinions???

THe last two drives against Buffalo were the only scores this year.Doesn't the qb call the plays during the two minute drive?

Tom has called lots of audibles in recent years. It seems to me he is calling the entire game now ... not just audibles and 2 minute drills.

Well, in the past we could count on the OC or at least argue with the game plan and plays of the OC. We don't seem to have an offensive strategy, game play or halftime adjustments.

I know I am overstating a venting, but we were seriously outcoached and I miss having competent coaching leadership for the offense.

I hope not, if he is. He needs to stop making the running plays and other stuff so obvious!

On the sideline he's looking at the pictures with O'Brien. He's talking to the receivers and O-Line. It seems like he's taking extra time seeing who he has in the huddle. In years past he was more animated between plays. Now it seems like he's working on something ... other than no obvious OC it looks different. Also ... this seems more like Weis's offense than Josh's offense. Just an observation more than an analysis on my part.

Why would the Pats add that pressure to Brady? He had not played a full game in 18 months .(before the last 2 games)makes no since.
