....about what goes on within this Patriot team.
Or to translate..."Tedy, shut the f&#@ up."
Love TB's loyalty to his actual teammates.

The Scrizz

I said this last week. The leaders on the team should be insulted by Bruschi trying to do their job (as in regards to Ocho). If something needs to be done with an out-of-line teammate they handle it in the locker-room just like he did when he was playing.

I was like, ‘Dang! Um, Mr. Brady, can we line up?’ He didn’t care. He was like, ‘You’re not going to line up.’ When we turned around one time I checked back around and my hand was going to the grass and they were like, ‘Hut!’ And I said, ‘Noooooooooooo!’

Eh - we should put this one to rest... Both Ocho's tweet and Bruschi's comment were all blown way out of proportion.

We know Brady's going to stick by the guys on the team no matter what - even if he might agree with Bruschi.

It was never a surprise to me that you'd see Brady favoring the guys he has experience with over someone who only started practicing with a few weeks ago.

I don't lose sight of the fact that one year ago we had a WR griping and grousing about getting so few balls thrown his way amid a win. A year later we have a WR who might not be happy about getting so few looks either - but instead he went out of his way to applaud his teammates.

I much prefer Ochocinco's approach over Moss'

I think they are insulted. Bruschi tried to infer that Ocho simply wasn't working hard enough. Everything we've heard from those who cover the team indicates that's simply not true. Ocho is working and working hard.
What I loved about TB's response today is that he was as vehement ("Bru is a great friend but he's talking out of his a#^") in his response to Bruschi as Bruschi was in his bashing of Ocho.

I was listening to this too.

Good job Brady. Brady understands that negativity can deter players from being their best. Ocho seems to be slowly making his way in this offense. 2 nice catches. One was a key 3rd down conversion if I remember correctly.

I'm still seeing good cop/bad cop here with everything working out perfectly.

Because Brady would throw a current player under the bus? C'mon.

It is clear that Ocho isn't really getting it on offense. Maybe he will in time....maybe he won't, but if he doesn't, I'm wondering if he's going to be okay (over the long-haul) at being an afterthought at reciever. Branch is #1, Welker #2 and the Tight Ends are amazing.

Either way, Bruschi is NOT a current player on this team and frankly, its none of his business how receivers are doing. Thats BB's issue and the offense.

Brady would never throw a current player under the bus. That's not the story here. The story is that he DID throw his beloved former mates under the bus. They have "no clue" ........ Love TB!!!!!!

He's doing exactly what he was brought in to do. He's the #3 WR. How many catches did you see Edelmann or Slater get yesterday?

Once again, the Pats were in no-huddle offense for more than half the game. They are not going to put a WR who's been here 7 weeks in that situation. That just doesn't happen.

He caught both balls thrown to him.

He's going to be fine - - and a GREAT insurance policy later on in the season when someone goes down.

You and Easterbruschi of ESPN can backstab all you want.
