Brady: Bruschi has "no clue"..... - Page 4 - New England Patriots Forums

I think Tom's choice of strong wording is key here. The fact that he says that none of those who are critical of Chad have "any clue what they are talking about" speaks volumes here and should finally shut up Chad's critics who (embarrassingly) made this situtation into much more than it should have been.

But, as fans, let's rejoice that, a harmless tweet, by a new player, who offers his admiration to a GOAT teammate, is all fans and mediots alike have to complain about. It could be much worse.

“They’re outside the locker room, they don’t know what we’re trying to accomplish, with all due respect to Tedy,” said Brady, who threw for 423 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday’s home win over the Chargers. “But everybody can think what they want.”

Well said if I may say.

I've heard more than one current Patriot claim as recently as last night that nothing they do comes as a surprise because it's what they are working on in practice all week and when they do it they have simply met their expectations. They have also echoed the fact that however awesome it appeares to outsiders it's still not as good as they know they can be and they intend to be. Which is why they seldom toot their own or teamates horns without the caveat that they still have work to do.

Chad is not only behind the 8 ball out of the gate, the train is gaining speed and it gets tougher to hop onboard the further and faster it goes. He's not going to have until the bye week to catch up now with Hernandez likely out for a couple of weeks. That's the guy he replaces...

All of that was what Tedy was aluding to... And you don't have to be inside the locker room to realize that... Especially not if you were for many years... Every team is different, but the system and the demands and the Patriot Way don't change. Just ask any of the long list of guys who didn't make it or last long here...

And yet, Aron Hernandez, Tom Brady, Leigh Bodden, Brandon Spikes, Rob Gronkowski, and a handful of others have been seen doing exactly that: tooting their own horns in the last week.

Brushi has some sort of issue with Ocho, and it has nothing to do with football.

"But none of those guys have any clue what they’re talking about."

“They’re outside the locker room, they don’t know what we’re trying to accomplish....."

True for a lot of people who are quick to tell you things that don't have a clue about........

If Bruschi didn't spend his whole career playing for us with a lot of success, both on a personal and team level, I'd have a hard time not considering him the biggest d bag on TV (wait, Merrill Hoge is still on ESPN, right? Ok, fine, even if Bruschi called BB Rex Ryan's personal ***** ****** he still wouldn't be as lame as Hoge). Harrison pissed me off last year with his holier than thou attitude about headshots/defenseless receivers/etc, but he's much more cut out for TV than Tedy and comes across as being much less of a meatstick.

I said last week when he made the comments how bad they made Bruschi look and I'm really glad Brady stood up for Chad and the rest of his team.

I loved Bruschi on the field, but seeing him on TV now makes me understand why we always heard the criticisms of brash/arrogant/annoying about Tedy from opponents and their fan bases while we (permissibly) looked the other way.

Pretty funny--this guy is either Chad, or somebody doing a pretty good job pretending like he is.

Love TB!!!!!!

Exactly... I think if Brady agreed with Bruschi in any way he would have shyed away from the topic way more, IMO no way would he come out and say they had no clue.

I could kind of tell from his expression last week while saying he had no problems with Chad that he was annoyed by Bru. Did anybody related to the Patriots actually back Tedy here? The only one I know of that kinda did was Rodney and Rodney's the same one that backed Ray Lewis and T-sizzle when they whined about the Brady rules after we beat them in '09. Someone on here said that Troy Brown refused to back Bru.

How is he behind the 8-ball?

He was brought in to be the #3 or #4WR and that is where he is after the first two games.

He caught both balls that were thrown his way yesterday (one of which with a defensive pass interference).

He's on a team that has run the no-huddle offense with 2 TE set for more than half it's plays in the first two games. He's the next WR off the bench after Branch and Welker. If anything, Taylor Price being in the medical tent is the big disappointment.

What's the problem, you don't like his earring?

Wow. That would make "L'affaire Casale" look minor league in comparison!!!!!

After 2 games, Johnson has 3 receptions. In 2006, Gaffney had 1 catch after his first 2 games.

Seems to me that, if Johnson can just have a decent game against the Bills, we may finally be past the faux crisis that was the "Ocho's not ready!" storyline.
