Nice interview in which Brady gives good reviews on Reche. I know that's what he's supposed to say but it gives me more comfort that he seems to be genuine about it. This is a transcript of his post practice interview. There's also an audio version of the whole interview. The transcript below is just a part of the whole interview.
Q: Is it best for you guys to ignore Deion's situation right now and put it out of your head?
TB: Yeah. We've kind of been dealing with it now for a few weeks. I guess because there hasn't been any change all the feelings that we've had have kind of washed over and we're just dealing with the guys we've got here. We'll all be excited when Deion shows up. Hopefully it gets resolved. As players, we have to focus on going out and doing our job. I have to throw the ball to the guys who are here and the guys who are working hard and the guys who are getting open. When Deion's here, obviously he'll kind of slide right in and I'm sure he'll be back to his old self.
Q: Does this in a way open up opportunities for other receivers to play Deion's role for a little while?
TB: Yeah it does. And Reche [Caldwell] has really stepped up. Reche has gotten the ball an awful lot. And the nice part is, we've really been able to see what he can do. He's a very talented player and he's made a lot of great plays this preseason. He's made some great catches. He's got good speed. He's been a really big surprise. Not that I didn't think that he was a great player coming in, but I didn't realize how good he was.
Q: Did you say anything to Reche [Caldwell] after the drop in Atlanta?
TB: No. I think the ball got tipped, which made it a tough catch. The ball got tipped I think at the line of scrimmage and it kind of wobbled the ball and I could see his eyes kind of lit up as the ball was coming to him. It was a much tougher catch than it looked. But he's been making a lot of great catches out here. He's going to have a lot of great catches this year.
Q: Kelvin Kight jumped right into the mix it seems.
TB: Kelvin Kight has done a nice job. He's been thrown into a role really as a starting receiver. He started last week and he's done some really positive things. There's no question that there's a little bit of a lack of depth there, but the guys who have been in there are doing a really solid job. They know what to do. They're catching the ball. They're playing hard. They're practicing hard. I have a lot of confidence in those guys.
Q: Did you draft Willie Andrews for the offense?
TB: Willie's got a lot of speed out there. We'll take whoever we can get at this point. We're recruiting as many guys as we can.
