Please have thick skin, no insult intended. Just fail to see the uniqueness in this.

uniqueness is he doesnt just say 'good job'. He is always coaching and teaching on the sidelines from a technical point of view instead of just yelling "lets go!, lets go!" . And he is saying this to a receiver who has catched his 22nd touchdown of the season ! . Can you imagine norv turner telling LT what mistake he is doing while running and getting stuffed by the opposing Defenses ?i can imagine BB doing it. And just from a historical perspective he did this dillon also. I remember reading a story with a corey dillon interview where he fumbled the ball while playing KC. BB came up to him and said "just lower your shoulders at the end of the run- thats why the ball came out." or something like that.
That is unique in today's coaching at least.

Probably not, but my guess is there are a lot of coaches who employ this strategy. Either way, it is cool to hear the "sideline speak". I wish there were more "miked up" audio out there.

Then why do you have to respond?

He was expecting a better ball from Brady. He was deep in the end zone. The ball was underthrown. Hard to go UP and get it when the ball is LOW.

Errr, did you watch the game ? That WAS the highest point ..... which is exactly what the problem was ....

Brady threw some bad balls in that game .... high and low. Case in point the long miss just before the record breaker. Thank god the beaten defender fell down, or he would have had a much better shot at the ball than Moss did.
