An interesting back and forth between NFL Network's Mike Giardi and Tom Brady on Brady's health this week...
Giardi: You’re gonna love this question, Tom. There's been a lot of discussion about you on the sidelines not only with the new shoes but also doing some jogging, especially in the second half which is something that veteran observers of Tom Brady have not witnessed very often. Just curious what was going on there?
Brady: Nothing just .., no, I felt good. I don’t think the white shoes are going to make it this week though. They’re going to put those things back to bed. They’re not making the cut for this game so I’m back to my dark-colored shoes.
Giardi: And, while I’ve got you, you talk about things that you needed to improve from last week. Was some of that mechanical? It looked at times like … I mean, you’re obviously a tactician when it comes to that stuff, so, did you get a little screwy up with the mechanics?
Brady: You know those are always important. You know, I wish they were perfect every week. And I do think sometimes you get a little off and you’ve got to just go back to the fundamentals and, you know, study some mechanics and stuff like that. So, I try to focus on that every week, some weeks a little more than others, but you know it’s a game of skill it’s game of technique it’s…you know, if you’re a golfer, you know not every shot goes150 yards for me at least. Not even for the pro golfers. Every jump shot doesn’t go in. It just doesn’t happen like that. So sometimes passing the football is a little like that too. There are some days where you feel like man everywhere you’re aiming it’s just going and then sometimes the timing is a little bit off, decisiveness is a little bit off. It could be mental, it could be physical. But all of those things play a factor and you just try to get back to the spot where you really feel like you’re most confident. So, but it wasn’t…yeah.
