Default Brady admits Deion was a distraction

http://www.boston.com/sports/footbal...ms_take_2.html

Quote:
Quarterback Tom Brady just held a press conference at Gillette Stadium. He was asked several questions about Deion Branch and acknowledged that he was distracted by Branch's situation leading up to the season opener.

Quote:
How emotional were your conversations with Deion this week and when you realized he was traded?
“They’re always [emotional], like very good friends. He meant a lot to me as a person and as a player he meant a lot to this organization. Part of it is just this crazy deal that we’re associated with. I don’t think I’ve become de-sensitized to it, I think it’s tough every time. For example, last week, I spent a lot of energy thinking about it. You look at the end of the week, it really wasted a lot of my time and a lot of my energy. It was a big mental drain and I think it affected the way I played. I just didn’t feel like I brought as much to the table as I normally could. That’s why I’m excited about this week – hey, I learned a good lesson, I’m going to go out there and try to do the best I can do.”

Mayve after seeing how the team played this week the FO realized that they had to deal with the Branch situation NOW.

Would love to hear what he's saying behind closed doors. My guess is he's pissed at Deion but even more pissed at the organization for giving him what's supposed to pass for a WR corps.

These topics are being discussed in the "Brady's take" thread. (I believe that's the one)

EDIT= fixed thread title.

Not the Patriots' fault that Jackson got hurt. They just need to work hard and get in synch. This year's WR are a more talented group than last year's. It may be later this year, next year or never when they get in synch with Brady but, make no mistake, the talent is there.

Have you seen Jackson or Gabriel play yet? Gabriel was the #2 receiver (behind Moss) so that tells me he is pretty good and Jackson looked good in camp, Caldwell caught what was thrown to him and of course Brown is still there so I am not quite sure why you are making assumptions?

How about we reserve our judgments on the WR situation until they actually get healthy and play.

I think he did learn a lesson like he said, "It's tough because you develop relationships with players. Coaches don't have relationships with players and management doesn’t know what guys are like. In that sense, it’s probably tougher for players to see other players go, because we hang out. We’re buddies. It goes far beyond the football field. Like I said, I think part of this process that I learned is to kind of expect the unexpected."

Once again I think Brady gets it. Instead of pulling a Moss and ripping everyone he actually sees all sides of it. Is he upset, sure but as long as he pulls it together next week I think it'll be fine. How many times have we heard "winning cures alot of ills".

I'm a little disappointed that Box didn't call for a thread merge on his own.....

I've seen Gabriel play before, yes. He will clearly be our No. 1 (not sayin much). Jackson haven't seen play. Rookie WR track records, not so good in the NFL. Caldwell is a No. 4 NFL WR. Maybe a No. 5. HIs career numbers back that up. Troy is 35 years old and still moderately effective.

But yeah, this is Brady's "dream" WR corps. Sure thing. He's probably not dissapointed at all.
