I was thinking about this today, in the context of Kraft's comments on the chemistry in the locker room this year. One thing we haven't heard much if anything about is how much Brady's absence from the locker room throughout '08 affected chemistry carrying into '09. He comes back, a lot of the old guard (Bruschi, Seymour, Vrabel, Rodney...) are gone and some of the less desirable in the locker room establish too strong a presence. It's pretty clear that Brady and BB recognized this and, ultimately, made the necessary changes. (Faulk fits in to this because he clearly understands The Patriot Way. The heart that guy showed in the awful loss to Baltimore last year was something to see.)
