Tom Brady emerges from shadows of offseason; Brian Cushing - Peter King - SI.com

Interesting that when asked about WR the first thing he mentioned was that he liked Tate a lot.

There are things there we haven't seen.

It seems he mentioned "commitment" and "accepting coaching", in various phrasings, multiple times.

Of course, that's consistent with all the other comments we've heard about chemistry/locker room.

Where's the "Brady Isn't Committed Anymore" thread?

...Great piece. What a class act! The contrast with Roethlisberger and Jamarcus just makes me appreciate him all the more.

Its still a shame that after all these years, he seems he does not get enough credit, the mannings, rivers, brees, seem to gather all the headlines last year, while he only put up his second best carrer year, playing on a inj leg, broken finger, and a bum shoulder...

And Ben Raplistburgher, can only dream about being as classy and dedicated as Tom Brady

Tate is somewhat a key player. If he can stay healthy, he can stretch the field like Stallworth did with his speed.

He also mentions Patten helping. Yeah, hes old, but Patten always had sure hands when he played with Brady.

Moss
Edleman
Holt
Patten
Tate
Price

Welker on PUP and when he returns, Price to practice squad unless something unforseen happens.

Adios, Aiken and Stanback.

That jumped out to me, too. With all due respect to Mr Kraft, it means a lot more coming from Brady. The importance of a receiver being "liked" by Brady has been talked about a lot here; and we all know t's not a personal thing, but a matter of running the right routes the right way and making the right adjustments.

Aiken is too valuable on special teams, and has a 3 year deal... Stanback, yeah he could get cut.. Price I dont think can go to the practice squad, if once he is active...
