Q: What sets Tom Brady apart from other quarterbacks?
RM: Poise, patience… and going out there determined to kill you at any given time. They can give you a fourth and 24 and Tom's still ready to kill you. I don't know how you're going to get it, but that's really his mindset. When you have a guy like that leading your team, leading your offense, everybody else has to pick up and get on his level. Tom Brady, like I've said before, I've always been a big fan of his. Now that I'm on his team, I'm not going to stop. Him - being our leader and our quarterback and all his upsides and his knowledge of the game and his precision and him making good decisions with the ball… my hat's off to him.
Q: Was it important that you develop a relationship with Brady heading into this season?
RM: We see each other every morning. It's ‘Good morning,' then ‘I'll see you tomorrow morning.' We're around each other a lot and that's the one thing that I said time and time again that Tom and I had to develop some kind of relationship because on the field it's down to business so we don't really get time to talk a lot, but when we're in that locker room, getting dressed, or doing whatever, we get the time to really get to know each other. In my time here, we have gotten to know each other. We talk about everything. That's one thing-I really have trust in him that I can talk to him about anything that's going on. It's not just even football-related. I hope he has the same trust in me. That's how you develop a relationship.
