It’s not really Brady having confidence but McDaniel.It will be very interesting to see how things unfold the first 4 weeks.
I would suspect we will see some adjustments with respect to routes and schemes as I don't see CP or PD as having the same type of skills as Amendola or Edelman. As Chad O'Shea said in an interview yesterday, they really are designed to take advantage of players' skillsets.
I also think and this is probably even more important is will Brady have enough confidence in these 2 to target them consistently. The preseason would suggest yes but with limited game planning, it's tough to make any conclusions.
The play call dictates largely where Brady throws the ball. No doubt he determines what is “open” for each player. But if they look at film, see a player as the progression be open and ask Brady why he didn’t throw to him, if Brady says I don’t trust the guy either they tell him throw anyway, or they don’t put the guy on the field any more.
