Tom Brady Motivating Ndamukong Suh?
March 26th, 2020
Joe soon expects to hear reports of Tom Brady eradicating red tide, building the Rays a stadium and eliminating the cover charge at Mons Venus.
So many people are expecting Brady to do extraordinary things with the Buccaneers.
Yes, Joe expects Brady to be a powerful leader and a more effective quarterback than his predecessor. But will he automatically equal four or five more wins immediately, on a roster that did not improve yet in free agency, other than at QB? It’s a very common belief out there.
Former Bucs quarterback Chris Simms was a Patriots assistant coach after he retired, and he’s seen the Brady effect first-hand.
Simms explains in the PFT Live video below that Bucs players are about to realize what slackers they have been in practice because Brady significantly will raise the level of play and expectations on a daily basis. And Simms and co-host Mike Florio, the ProFootballTalk.com guru, discuss Brady exploring ways to motivate Ndamukong Suh to play like the dominant force he used to be, noting Suh has never played with that kind of leader.

Tom Brady will lead The Return To Glory

I can’t tell if Joe in these articles is being a hard realist or if he is just salty because his version of America’s QB is gone where the team got the real America’s QB.

That cover charge at Mons can’t go away fast enough! Last I heard the IRS was looking for tmax for unpaid loans used for cover charges and “rain” at the club!
Allegedly!
March 26th, 2020 at 2:15 pm
According to the Los Angeles Times, via Sports Business Daily, Brady has filed a trademark application for “TB X TB.”

Suh is motivated by Suh. He’s an independent bird. I think he is smart with his money. He knows this Football will not last. I saw him in the mall once. He was dressed like a normal Jock. Just ordinary without the gold and chains. You hardly noticed him except his size.
March 26th, 2020 at 2:17 pm
Agree with Simms!!
March 26th, 2020 at 2:19 pm
good stuff, good times a coming, hopefully
March 26th, 2020 at 2:20 pm
I don’t think we needed significant upgrades outside the draft.
Simply throwing half the picks equals 4 or 5 more wins.
March 26th, 2020 at 2:21 pm
This thing is going to go in two possible ways.
To glory or
Up in Flames.
Ill take the 50/50 chance.
We didnt have this scenario before with Winston.
March 26th, 2020 at 2:26 pm
This is the first time in a very long time that we didn’t need much improvement via FA…..
When it began….many would have been happy with Winston, Shaq, JPP, Suh….
But we have Brady, Shaq, JPP, SUh………much stronger with the QB change….
Now, we need another good draft like last year……don’t get cute…..solid players from big conferences with good performance records…..
March 26th, 2020 at 2:29 pm
Just being able to sit of the defensive bench and watch the offense hold the ball for 8-10 minutes should motivate the defense.
Last season they would just get a glass of Gatorade and be sitting down before Jameis would turn the ball over.
March 26th, 2020 at 2:29 pm
You are one more fabrication about Joe from getting permanently booted. It’s up to you. –Joe
March 26th, 2020 at 2:30 pm
Suh brings that nasty edge to the defensive front. Don’t mind if he gets sacks or not at this point.
March 26th, 2020 at 2:33 pm
Great signing. I’m very pleased to get Suh back at a discount price.
We currently have $11.65 million dollars left under the cap for draft picks ($8 million) and emergency free agent signings during the year.
Go Bucs!!!
March 26th, 2020 at 2:34 pm
I just watched a clip about Suh and the huge donations he’s made to Nebraska and helping students out there. He’s had the bad reputation, but he’s really a very smart, humble, and generous guy.
March 26th, 2020 at 2:34 pm
$11.65 million – $8 million draft picks = $3.65 million
March 26th, 2020 at 2:41 pm
I don’t expect a SB, a lot of luck comes with it and he has 2 chances. But we will be talked about more and I will have save money by not having to go to a bar with sunday ticket due to being on tv 5-6 times this year.
March 26th, 2020 at 2:55 pm
Oh Joe I’m so excited about Bucs football and then you remind me about the Rays finally looking like an upcoming team and then the cheap ass owners making a new seven year deal staying at the dumpster fire known as Tropicana Field when Tampa Bay area is booming with business and population growth. A beautiful stadium at the track on the water was my dream.
March 26th, 2020 at 3:00 pm
@Marine Buc
Bucs had $18,107,788 before resigning Suh. That’s after deducting for the draft.
18,107,788 minus 8,000,000 is 10,107,788.
March 26th, 2020 at 3:03 pm
@Dewey Selmon
I fully expect 1-2 Superbowls. If anyone can do it, it is Tom Brady.
March 26th, 2020 at 3:10 pm
@ Buc Bonzai
Here we go again…
Your wrong. Go check your sources and do the math.
We currently have @ $11.65 million left before we sign our draft picks($8m).
March 26th, 2020 at 3:17 pm
Hope you’re right Bonz, I have no problem admitting when I’m wrong.
March 26th, 2020 at 3:18 pm
I f#cking hate these nationalist that say Vita Vea is possibly the best NT in the NFL and still can’t say his name correctly. With all our prime time games this year they’ll finally get it right.
March 26th, 2020 at 3:19 pm
And it’s not like he was a star in college two years ago and was the #12 pick. Idiots.
March 26th, 2020 at 3:20 pm
At least we are arguing over MATH today, instead of Jameis.
😉
March 26th, 2020 at 3:43 pm
@ tbdemon
Lol. I’m not arguing. I’m right.
After the Suh signing we have @ $11.65 million left.
It will cost @ $8 million to sign our draft picks.
Therefore- we have @ $3.65 million to spend on free agents and emergency signings during the season.
March 26th, 2020 at 3:44 pm
Math is hard.
Go Bucs!
March 26th, 2020 at 3:56 pm
I ordered a solar-powered abacus to help me with the math.
March 26th, 2020 at 4:18 pm
Marine Buc,
I believe ya, my friend. Just wanted to make ya laugh.
GO BUCS!

~~~~~~
With ya man! Drives me crazy.
I am a fan of both Chris Simms & Ian Beckles, but they constantly say his name wrong. C’mon man!!!!!
March 26th, 2020 at 4:22 pm
@ demon
Lol… I hate to be the bearer of bad news. But we are done spending money unless we trade, cut or restructure a players contract.
$11.65 million.
March 26th, 2020 at 4:27 pm
The biggest mistake this team has made in the last decade has been lack of leadership ON THE FIELD! They realized that mistake a few years ago but made another mistake by trying to draft leaders. Rookies trying to be leaders does not work either. Only proven NFL players with the right combination of talent and personality can lead other NFL players. Grown men will listen to other proven grown men.
March 26th, 2020 at 4:39 pm
Maybe this site with give Tom Brady the name Tampa’s quarterback or Florida’s quarterback.
We know Tom Brady is not good enough to get the moniker America’s quarterback.
March 26th, 2020 at 4:46 pm
Cant spend a ton and who knows with these cap reports but Overthecap shows us with 22 million left not counting the Suh signing or Adams signings but it does account for JPP, Barrett, Brady, Roches-Nunez, and Haeg.
So maybe 13 million left according to them.
For comparison sake overthecap shows New Orleans with 9 million left but does not account for Emanuel Sanders contract. So they do not likely have enough to sign their draft picks.
March 26th, 2020 at 4:53 pm
You are right ^^^^^since he is referred to by everyone else in America as the GOAT! That kinda takes away from the narrative. Never been a huge Brady fan until he signed that contract with the Bucs. Whatever he does from here on out America will consider him the best of all time and I am fine with that because the organization went out and got the best possible QB!
March 26th, 2020 at 4:58 pm
Trade for Edelman! Use a 4th or 5th round pick that’ll take Care WR3
March 26th, 2020 at 5:07 pm
LOL!!! Joe is such a cry baby. His little engine that never could is gone and he’s lost without him. I’m betting he’s been listening to air supply songs, drinking heavily, and starching his favorite Jamoist poster in tears. This site is just his outlet for a failed existence in life. It’s quite sad.
#JamoistSucks

Joe
Here’s the thing though
Everyone else is saying the exact same thing and you are singling me out
I mean read the other comments
I am saying the exact same thing
My sarcasm is not cool when literally everyone is making the same joke
March 26th, 2020 at 5:59 pm
Assuming the defense plays a full season close to as good as it did the second half last season would give you 2 extra wins. Brady probably gives you 1 or 2 wins that puts you at 10 or 11. The problem is the Bucs have a much tougher schedule this season.
March 26th, 2020 at 6:07 pm
We do not need another target for TB!!! We have arguably the best group of talent in the league as targets for TB12.
We need another tackle…a couple of RB’s..a safety..and some depth…the ONE place we are not weak in terms of depth is targets for Brady.
This assumes we draft a running back or two that can also be targets…e.g. Akers and Dillon.

Correct – it was up in flames only.
March 26th, 2020 at 6:57 pm
JW cost us 6 games. With the same team, we should improve our record by at least 3 games. And that will be good enough for a wild card playoff spot.
March 26th, 2020 at 7:06 pm
If he can Motivate Gay to make more kicks it will be the biggest boost to the bucs win total.
March 26th, 2020 at 7:37 pm
Just got my TB X TB tee-shirt in the mail, looks pretty damn nice too! No doubt most Californy’s won’t even know what it means too!
March 26th, 2020 at 7:45 pm
Agree with Dusty. I think Edelman could be had for a 5th.
March 26th, 2020 at 8:04 pm
Look, we should have won 4 more games last year. Giants, San Francisco, Texans and Atlanta. That was with Winston and a terrible defense the first half of the season. I see no reason to not believe Brady can bring at least 4 more wins to the team. I’m predicting 11-5.
March 26th, 2020 at 8:37 pm
The extra playoff spot just about clinches our chances. On paper anyways, remember It a Bucs life, sheet could go south in a hurry.
March 26th, 2020 at 10:42 pm
The importance of the Suh signing is the impact it has on Vea. If for no other reason, it helps Vea become an elite player and I’ll take that all day long! Vea was never going to get this kind of a mentor out of GMC. 2 years next to Suh is going to do hall of fame wonders for this kid.
March 26th, 2020 at 10:58 pm
Suh does not strike me as needing motivation… particularly in practice. Watched him on the sled at training camp and the difference versus other DL was shocking… violent shove and lift of the dummy to shoulder height… every time. No slouching, no goofing off and his buddy Vea was keeping right up but no one else could come close… not even Gholston who looked weight room strong but not “toss grown men around” strong like Suh and Vea.
If you say Brady may challenge the entire D to give their best… ok, kind of like Gruden did to Kiffin’s boys in ‘02… but don’t tell me Kong Suh needs motivating at practice. Silliness!
March 26th, 2020 at 11:20 pm
I was really happy to see Suh coming back to us and keep that front 7 strong. I really think Suh is a very smart player and as he get older and loses a little talent he understands what’s coming really help. Plus Suh being a good player for multiple years, Vea has it by the short and curlies to learn not only on the field but even gets to see what Suh does to stay healthy.
March 26th, 2020 at 11:41 pm
Think Suh resigning was really big. When we signed him last year I thought, just another check for his retirement. He was kind of loafing during the regular season with Lions (later years/from there), Dolphins and Rams previously. Think he played very well last year and really liked the team and Bowles. He signed for less now and I think he at least thinks we will compete for the playoffs this year.
Good job by the organization to keep the starting line in tact and not overpay for them. We have a good year or two run with them if all parties are interested.
March 27th, 2020 at 6:29 am
our time of possesion will increase defense wont be coming on the field for repeated stupid mistakes …….. its a no brainer motivation and morale will be high ……. we have the GOAT …. he still has some gas left in the tank
