I think their relationship might be under-rated, from the standpoint of them being such an effective duo together. During the 16 years Brady has been in the league, McDaniels has been on the coaching staff for nine of them. And they’ve seen a lot of defenses together — essentially through the same pair of eyes.
McDaniels during Coaching Staff Presser: “(I see it) very much the same (as Brady does). We’ve spent a lot of time together. It’s a relationship when you’re talking about a quarterback and a play-caller or a quarterback coach and the quarterback. You really want to be in harmony by the time you get to kickoff on everything that could come up in the game.
“For us, we’ve had a lot of experience together, and going through the course of many years, we’ve gained some wisdom just in terms of how to work with each other. Our communication, our relationship, it’s been as good as it’s been since we’ve started to work together.”
Brady on the DC show: “All through the week we’re talking about the plays and the plan and the situations and then as we get into late Saturday night when the game plan finally really comes together, and then Sunday morning when we talk, and when we get into the game on Sunday, we’re able to make adjustments so quickly.”
Brady on Patriots All Access w/ Scott Zolak: "Yeah. Phone calls at like 5:45 in the morning. He's like the only person that would call me and I would call him at 5:45 and know that we're going to answer so I think we're just . . . He is a perfectionist to the Nth degree. He wants to do the very best he can every single day and every game. Nobody's better than him. He's just an incredible coach. We've been together so long, a lot of times we see things the same way. He has really high expectations for me. I like that he pushes me. It gets the most out of our entire offense. He doesn't back down from anything. He's as aggressive now as he's ever been, which I love. We got a good thing going."
