Bruce Arians: “Tom Checks In Every Week”
June 3rd, 2021
So what has the offseason been like for Tom Brady and Bucco Bruce Arians when it comes to their bonding and communication?
The head coach opened up.
Speaking on The Rich Eisen Show yesterday, Arians explained that draft prep has ended and he’s not playing regular golf with his star QB and they’re not burning up each other’s phones.
“Tom checks in every week, so it’s been a really good offseason for those [offensive skill players working with Brady privately],” Arians said. “I’m a little more concerned about our defensive backs because they’re not doing what the offensive receivers and quarterbacks are doing.”
Interesting nugget there about the secondary. Eisen pushed for details on what those “check-ins” are like.
“How’s he feeling, is the biggest thing, how’s the knee,” Arians said of getting Brady’s status. “He doesn’t have a golf game right now, so it’s not about his golf game. It’s just checking in on him, how he’s feeling, how he’s doing, what his plan was for the week.”
Arians said the Brady check-in is “mostly by text.” Brady loves FaceTime, Arians added, but Arians isn’t into it.
Joe suspects Brady and Arians will be back on the golf course soon enough and chatting it up, as Brady is less than five weeks from playing a round of golf on national TV.

The only interesting thing that came out of this article is that the defensive backs are doing what the offensive unit is. We have a young DB corps. One of the young guys need to take the lead and become the leader of the group. Hopefully Winfield.

It seems to me defense is more reactionary. The db’s need receivers to work against to know what each are doing each play. I don’t think just using your imagination works here.
Brady and the receivers are working on routes, and the finer points of coming out of your breaks and stuff.
Hmmmm…. Hey, maybe the Gravediggers should work out with TB12 also! Practice some of the “situational football” I here so much about.
