Here’s what Tom Brady had to say after Sunday’s win over the Rams:<\/p>\n
On what getting record career win #201 means to him:<\/strong><\/p>\n “You know, I’m grateful for all my teammates and my coaches and for my family and friends. \u00a0There’s been a lot of football over the years. \u00a0It’s always been about winning and I’ve been very fortunate to be on a lot of great teams. \u00a0So I just feel very grateful.”<\/p>\n On getting out to a fast start against the Rams:<\/strong><\/p>\n “Yeah, it was good. \u00a0The first drive was good. \u00a0LG [LeGarrette Blount] had a great run on there in short yardage and kind of busted it down the sideline. \u00a0He’s got a lot of speed, I mean he never really gets caught. He’s made so many explosive runs here so, it was great to get off to a fast start like that.”<\/p>\n On seeing his old teammates and the fact they’re retired, and he’s still playing:<\/strong><\/p>\n “Yeah, I saw some of them last night at the banquet that Mr. Kraft had, but I didn’t stay too long because I wanted to be up early and ready to go today. \u00a0Yeah, I mean it’s … to be fortunate to play over over a long period of time with a lot of different players, I think I’ve learned so much from everybody that I’ve played with and I always try to watch everybody and learn from different things that they do. \u00a0Whether it’s from Drew [Bledsoe], who I saw, or Damon Huard, who I saw, you know … watching Jimmy [Garoppolo] and watching Jacoby [Brissett], you know, I feel like there’s always something to learn. \u00a0Like I said, I’ve just been very fortunate to be around a lot of great teammates over the years, a lot of great coaches, and a lot of wins.”<\/p>\n On the fact they threw a lot of screen plays:<\/strong><\/p>\n “Yeah, I’m not sure,\u00a0we’ll have to watch [the film] … you’re right, there was probably a lot of those today. \u00a0There was a lot of plays I thought we left out there …\u00a0I thought we could have done a better job finishing drives. \u00a0I would have liked to put more points on the board than we did, but it was a good win.”<\/p>\n On how they adjusted without Rob Gronkowski:<\/strong><\/p>\n “Well, I said earlier in the week, he’s a big loss because he’s such an integral factor of what we do. \u00a0 But we’ll keep fighting on. \u00a0I think we’ve still got a lot of other players who can fight as well. We’re going to have to keep doing it, I mean, he’s not coming back. \u00a0We all want him to get back as quick as he can with his rehab and so forth, but we’ve got to keep playing on.”<\/p>\n On the fact he had Julian Edelman play a strong game and Malcolm Mitchell playing well:<\/strong><\/p>\n “Yeah, both of them played great. \u00a0I thought all the receivers did a great job when they got their looks. \u00a0Julian made some really great catches, really big plays for us. \u00a0So he’s done a great job all year, we’re going to need him to keep doing it.”<\/p>\n On the fact he looked visibly frustrated out there on 3rd down with some of the incompletions, and what changes they need to make heading into next week’s game against Baltimore:<\/strong><\/p>\n “Yeah, I don’t think we were on the same page like we needed to be, between myself and some of the skill players. \u00a0There was some plays that I thought we could execute better. \u00a0So it is frustrating when you expect a higher level than what we’re getting out there and I think everyone’s trying to do the right thing, but we’ve just got to watch the film, and try to correct it, and see if we can do a better job.<\/p>\n On the fact that while they didn’t finish some drives, how great it was to see Stephen Gostkowski hit some long field goals:<\/strong><\/p>\n “Yeah, it was great to see those balls sail through the uprights. \u00a0You know, he’s so clutch. \u00a0I mean, he’s a great player. I don’t think I have too many concerns about him and what he’s capable of. \u00a0He’s been a great player for a long time.”<\/p>\n On seeing his teammates from 2001, if it seems like it was only yesterday:<\/strong><\/p>\n “Yeah, I mean it goes fast. \u00a0It’s gone really fast. \u00a0You know, these seasons go fast, and the years have gone faster. \u00a0 Yeah, time’s flying.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here’s what Tom Brady had to say following the team’s win over the Rams.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":9584,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_pfeai_meta_description":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":true,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[237],"tags":[800,1245,44,1261,13],"class_list":["post-9582","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-patriots-transcripts","tag-2016-patriots-season","tag-los-angeles-rams","tag-new-england-patriots","tag-postgame-transcripts","tag-tom-brady"],"yoast_head":"\n
