Ridley: "Tom Brady runs that organization"
 
"The first time I met (Tom) Brady I told him, 'I'm Stevan Ridley," and he said, 'I know who you are. Glad to have you on the team and I look forward to working with you.' Tom Brady runs that organization. You have to be on Tom Brady's page."
Ridley returns home for fundraiser | Mississippi's Best Community Newspaper

I hope Ridley is on that page. I would like to see O-coordinator Brady call a few more running plays this season.

I hae no problems with saying that the offense goes through Tom Brady, but I would certainly say the BB runs the organization. BB might be as close to TB as any player can be to him, but I'd be shocked if he asked (or required) Tom's opinion on matters with special teams and defense.

It's obviously a figure of speech about how immense a figure Brady is in NE. Are we actually going to "break this down"?

Looks like BB is nothing without Brady after all! :rolleyes:

I think he's referring to the players, Toms the leader and sets the tone on the field for games and practices.

So, I guess all those posters that keep saying the team will fall apart without Tom, must be right :bricks: ;)

I'm inclined to believe that Bob Kraft runs the organization and he delegates to BB who delegates to TB.

Bill has long understood that coaches can't set the tone, eventually players will tune them out. He's always relied on his core veteran players to set the tone and deliver the one voice message and to police the locker room. Brady is the chief of police so to speak. Cross him and neither Belichick nor Kraft is gonna save you...
