nice piece from Reiss again on building Brady-Cooks connection:
Tom Brady and Brandin Cooks working hard to build a rapport
quote:
"[We] are building up a rapport but that takes a lot of time to be built," Brady explained. "That goes all the way through the season. We're working hard at it. We're talking about things. There are a lot of things that go on to try to improve the learning curve, but he's just been so much fun to be around."
As for Brady, Cooks said, "To play with a guy like that is special. The way that he pays attention to the game, he makes you up your level a little more."
One example of that came on Friday when Cooks was working on a shorter route to the inside part of the field, and he dropped a pass from Brady. Immediately, Brady directed Cooks back to the line of scrimmage and the two went through the same route again and executed it the second time around. Still, Cooks held himself accountable by hitting the ground for push-ups. Soon enough, the horn sounded to signal that it was time for the next drill, but Brady called for Cooks to do it one more time before they moved on.
