Accuracy Shock (Videos)

August 5th, 2020

A common theme emerged yesterday when media got a fleeting, roughly 15-minute look at Tom Brady throwing footballs at One Buc Palace.

There was no defense, pads or helmets, and only 20 or so offensive players on the field. But despite all those factors, Tom Brady’s accuracy still was a refreshing and standout happening.

Longtime FOX-13 reporter Kevin O’Donnell even brought up the precision to LeSean McCoy during an online news conference, and McCoy concurred.

It’s easy — and fun — to overblow a throwing session. But Joe wonders what kind of difference Bucs pass catchers are feeling as compared to their previous quarterback. If there really is a big difference, then that should go a long way toward further cementing Brady’s role as the Bucs’ new commander.

You can see a handful of throws below.

    Slant and drag routes can now be used to their full potential! Everyone’s YAC is about to go up!

  2. AlabamaBucsFan Says:

    This is the most talented offensive Brady has ever played under. Only with WR Randy Moss did Brady have an offensive this talented. If we can keep our OL healthy, only the Saints are going to keep this team from reaching the Superbowl.

    “their previous quarterback” – I see what you are doing there Joe, a softball over the plate to crap on Jameis “meaningless stats” Winston, America’s QB, the founding 30-30 club member (and the only member so far) – well I’m not falling for it…I just won’t do it…

  4. Roy T. Buford Says:

    TB12 has been handed a whole platter of top NFL receiving talent…he’s probably more pleased than he’s ever been. To be fair, I have usually seen the QBs throw well at practice most of the time, yet then making puzzlingly bad decisions and throws in games, especially with Winston over the past five years. So, maybe we’re just not used to seeing a pro QB with dead-on accuracy and a reputation and record to back it up. It’s been a long time for us here in Tampa. Too long. Great stuff, Joe!

  5. Roy T. Buford Says:

    While we should be happy here in Tampa, we should be wary of a storm rising in New Orleans. Why? Because meanwhile, the Saints 3rd round QB/#2 in line to hold the clipboard, is subtly developing the 2nd and 3rd team receivers. He is quietly teaching them to expand their catch radius another 50%, and making them learn wild acrobatics needed to go after one of his throws. Some of those receivers will definitely get better (if they don’t get cut for lack of effort to go after uncatchable balls). So while Winston may never dress for a game in the Big Easy, he’s doing his part to develop the division champ’s passing game further.

    Well, well well….refreshing!

    “Brady/Pat’s scheme and playcalling vs BA/BL twins schemes

    Getting the ball out quickly and recievers isolated and away from traffic

    Brady prefers working short/intimate routes than taking occasional shots deep if the Oline is holding up

    How is this 2020 offense look like?

    What will the JBF sheep do when Brady goes to the sideline after throwing to the ground 3 passes in a row?

    Is that Tom Brady or his manly looking wife Gisele in that uniform

    ^^^ Pete, He doesn’t say it finally so you say it for him!? LET. IT. DIE.

  11. BigHog Says:

    “You People” act as if you’ve.never seen Mr. 5,000 throw passes against the wind and be accurate, let’s see what happens when his short route gets jumped and he has to look down field but here comes a D/Lineman giving pressure
    from his right side, can he give a Stanky Leg move like Mr. 5,000 ….that would be a no !!! Put the pads on and stop all the madness…being new to the offence NE12 will struggle to get to 4,000 yards passing and somebody tell me where is all that YAC yep just YACKY YAC! MAKE SURE TO VOTE AND DO IT BY MAIL!!

  12. D-Rome Says:

    But despite all those factors, Tom Brady’s accuracy still was a refreshing and standout happening.

    Refreshing because we all know what Jay-Miss did for five years and we all know it’s not going to get better for the rest of his career. The difference is very evident even if it’s passing drills.

  13. Daniel Says:

    We really going to analyze TB12 throwing to a bunch of guys in shorts without a defense?

  14. BogHog Says:

    Daniel: That’s the You People way!!!

  15. Oneilbucs Says:

    D Rome No one knows what’s going to happen to Jamies in his career . We’ve seen other quarterbacks leave and go win superbowls and we seen one became a hall of famer . So what if he becomes a hall of fame quarterback because it’s possible given the team and coach he went to . And looking at Brady throw the ball against the air I don’t see what’s so impressive I can make ever last one of those throws right now . And all the talk about this will be Bruce Arians offense and how Brady has to learn his playbook is a big lie . This is a new playbook look at all those 3 to 5 yards passes lol lol . That’s going to be the offense so get out of my face about he gets the ball out quickly because he can read defenses real quick it’s the type of passes he’s been able to throw most of the time . That’s why ever quarterback looked good in New England .

  16. stpetebucsfan Says:

    There is arm strength and there is accuracy. The first becomes meaningless without the second.

    Brady’s arm strength has surely diminished…if he’s human. But he has taken superb care of his body. If he has even 90% of his top arm strength but 99% of is old accuracy…with his experience and the talent surrounding him he will be very very successful.

    Accuracy is now Brady’s calling card so it’s great to see him living up to his rep.

  17. 941bucsfan Says:

    I can tell folks here never played qb in there life…. let me help you guys out. On air, we are all accurate. Its like basketball players in shootaround, they make every shot. Things change when the circumstances around you change. Joe couldve easily cut up footage of Ryan Griffin and Gabbert throwing to these guys and it wouldve been the same exact ball placement…. lets back off bradys jock just for a couple days fellas. Im excited too, but damn there has to be some common sense used

    Good luck with that sir.

  19. theodore Says:

    TB12 is not more accurate than Jameis. Jameis’ throws were always on target: WR, DB, TE, LB, you name it, he hit it.

  20. Owlykat Says:

    Brady’s first year may have more interceptions than usual just because of BA’s system, but our WR’s are in the second year of their system and will know better how to read the defenses and we know Brady is a master of that too so I am hoping Brady will fare better in BA’s system than any other QB. I can’t wait til the games count beginning with the Saint’s game. Yes the Saint’s top receiver is hard to bring down but I bet Gronk will be even harder to tackle. I also know that if a Defense keeps getting to Brees he breaks down and we have just the Defense to rattle him. They should fear us more than we fear them. We can beat them and that would be great as Brees does not have that much left in his tank. He badly wants a Super Bowl Ring this year, and we can keep him from it!

  21. D-Rome Says:

    941bucsfan, we have ALL seen Jay-Miss overthrow wide open receivers in practice against air.

  22. Nick2 Says:

    This is soooooooo refreshing thanks Joe that made my day.

  23. PSL Bob Says:

    BucDan, you’re right on point. YAC will be through the roof this year. Anyone want to guess where the Bucs offense will rank this year?

  24. Mike Says:

    Kobe “What will the JBF sheep do when Brady goes to the sideline after throwing to the ground 3 passes in a row” we will say ” well,….. it wasn’t a INT”

  25. bucsfan951 Says:

    oh i didnt know we are dealing with an ex high school qb in NPUPPY…

    “i once scored 4 touchdowns in a single game”

    -NPUPPY BUNDY

  26. Bill Cicero Says:

    Question, do y’all think there is a correlation between inaccurate passing and lazy route running? Put another way, do receivers not put as much effort into running precise routes because they know the ball can be damn near anywhere so it really doesn’t matter how precise they are?

  28. lambchop Says:

    I’m pretty sure you’re going to see the most YAC from our elite WRs this year than in years past. Book it!

  29. Buc1987 Says:

    How come some of you posters have not gotten over letting Winston go yet?

    Let it go. I mean for real. You look like jack-asses at some point and that point was crossed months ago. Now you just look like ultra-jackas*es defending Winston and attacking the GOAT. I mean the GOAT?

    For damn sake just skip posting altogether….

  30. lambchop Says:

    Ndog talks like he was there watching the other QBs in practice. I’ve played QB, btw. And ball placement is not automatic from QB to QB. You just have to look at game tape to see how many times WRs had to slow down, adjust their route, reach like hell to catch a ball so many times. When Jaymiss threw someone in stride, it was beautiful, but that was like catching a glimpse of Big Foot. Fleeting and unnerving.

  31. DoooshLaRue Says:

    Big Racist,

    Is your head going to explode if Trump gets re-elected AND we and TB12 win the Super Bowl?
    Would you finally shush with all your racist bs?

    For all you haters- check your sheet- JW NFL #1 in Total Offense, passing, passing yards per game- #2 in TDs

    You can’t take that away from The you racist a hole redneck gator fans

  33. Buczilla Says:

    Like everything ever related to the Bucs, I need to see it to believe it, but I’m pretty sure that Brady will be a hell of a lot more accurate than “out of sight, out of mind”.

  34. DoooshLaRue Says:

    Wow. Just read the post and watch the two AWESOME videos. Bucs passing the football to Bucs catching it. Exciting! Go Bucs!

    Then I read the Replies. Are we really angry at all this and that? Really? The nastiness toward Buc fans from Buc fans is BS! {WE ARE ALL BUC FANS!} Not this or that! Yeah, I know who TF am I? Just a BUC FAN. I do know it makes this great site, way less than that.
    These are the active players we currently have on our roster for the 2020 season. We will move forward with what crew we have available. Let us hope this crew will be successful to allow that to happen.
    WIN! NFC SOUTH DIVISION!
    Most important! In my opinion.
    So starting with the Saints.
    Bring it on!
    GO! BUCS!
