For the sake of this argument, let's assume everything BB and TB said is completely true.
1) Brady is on record saying he likes his footballs at 12.5 PSI.
2) The pre-game ball preparation process artificially inflates the ball pressure by about 1 PSI. Thus, even though Brady blesses a ball, and doesn't want it to change from that point, it inevitably will.
3) When the ball reaches equilibrium, without taking into account any changes in weather, it should be at around 11.5 PSI.
4) During the week, when the Patriots practice, I am assuming that the pre-game ball preparation process is NOT done - just that the balls are pumped to 12.5 PSI and practices with. (Is this a logical assumption?)
5) If 4) is true, Brady practices all the time with a true 12.5 PSI ball, and in the games he is dealing with an 11.5 PSI ball.
I assume the PSI has much more impact on a deep arching throw then a straight line drive (which Brady excels at). Is there any merit to this assumption? Going forward, I imagine the game balls will be much truer to the practice balls.
Does this make any sense to any one? Does anyone think, like I do, that we can see an improvement in Brady's deep ball (and even general) accuracy, thanks to the inevitable game ball inflation protocol reform?
