Tom Brady back in the area, will lead New England Patriots players in workouts, sources say - ESPN Boston

It's about time. For an offense based on adjustments and timing, I'd think that working with the WR's is critical. What happened to the hardest working and most dedicated player on the team?

And I'm sure Brady is doing all the conditioning and strength training he needs to do.

Time off isn't a bad thing, particularly for a 34 year old guy in a very physically demanding job.

I know these workouts mean a lot to uneasy fans. Don't mean a thing to Bill...for a reason. Absent the coaching staff he'd likely just as soon they stick to individual conditioning drills and working on whatever their coaches instructed them to when last they parted...

In the past, Brady consistently won the award for off season work outs. He seemed to be the one pushing his team mates and holding them accountable.

Um...that was when they weren't in a lockout. And actually he hasn't won that particular award for years. In part because after 3 extended seasons in his first 4 years as a starter, BB advised him to get away from the game more in the offseason so he could physically heal and mentally decompress. It's fine for Brady outwork teamates and to push guys to work just as hard and hold them accountable - and according to informed sources (his HC and teamates) he continues to do both. It's not all that productive for him to try and hold an organized workout that coaches can't attend and run.

Is it safe to assume that you don't have a wife and kids?

Supposedly Sanchez already has the NYJ offense installed....

Why is Tom Terrific waiting so long?

RELAX PATS FANS JUST KIDDING

I know your kidding but I'd bet anyone a hundred bucks that Brady is following a schedule that he and Belichick worked out during the 2010 season.

Hmm, the first Brady organized team work-out is the exact same that the first mandatory minicap takes place...

My point is that I dont see the same dedication. Just my opinion.
