 "It's good to win." - Tom Brady after Sunday's win over Minnesota. (USA TODAY Images) |
On if it's exactly where he wants it yet offensively:
"I think we all have a lot of work to do. So, it's good to win. We'll get back to work tomorrow."
On if it's nice to not get hit like he did last week:
"Yeah. I think we had pretty good control out there, thought we did a good job in the run game. Took advantage of some opportunities, but hopefully we can do a lot better."
On the performance of the defense and special teams:
"Yeah, they made a lot of great plays... a lot of great plays, big time plays, that was what we needed and hopefully they keep doing it. So we've got to start producing when we get it and take advantage of some of the things that...you know, getting the ball in short field and stuff, get in the end zone."
On the play of Julian Edelman:
"Yeah, you know, he's doing a great job for us. So he's a great player, made some great punt returns. He's a great player for our team. So hopefully we can keep making improvements and he's a big part of that and hopefully we kind of look better."
On the fact he seems very down and if there's one thing he can say they need to do better:
"I'm happy we won. I just wish we'd go out there and play like we're capable of. It's just the way it is. Just glad we won, it's a great team win, a lot of guys contributed, a lot of great plays were made, hopefully offensively we can do a better job next week."
On if he thinks a lot needs fixing:
"I think we're going to try to make improvements. We'll get back to work and see what we can do better. Certainly, same way after last week, try to make some improvements and hopefully we can go out there and do a better job."
On his thoughts on Stevan Ridley:
"Yeah, some great running, great blocking up front. He always runs really hard. We were really close on some runs to breaking him some longer ones, but that was really important for us to be able to run the ball like that. We're going to need that all season."
On the fact he has 149 wins, number two all time and how it feels for him:
"Um...I'm glad we won. You know what...I don't think about those things too much. But I'm glad we won and hopefully we can do better next week."
"Thanks guys."
