The popular saying goes that “we are all generals after the fight” and that is that, although everyone was amazed by the defender Tom Brady and the seventh Super Bowl from his career, in his own team, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, were not fully sure of their level for the 2020 season of National Football League (NFL).
This was acknowledged by its offensive coordinator, Byron Leftwich, who was interviewed on the podcast Huddle & Flow, and confessed that they have many doubts that, at 43, Quarterback could adapt to a new offensive scheme, different from the one he used for two decades New England Patriots.
“It simply came to our notice then. We saw Tom (Brady) ‘s videos and realized that his arm was still alive, but when you’re close you look at the ball. It’s the way he throws it, it’s friendly and penetrating. “, assured the attacking manager from Buccaneers.
The Buccaneers doubted Tom Brady
In this regard, Leftwich has completed this “It was unique to see him still manage to do all these things. Damn it, I just turned 41 and I can see him, just to see that he can do things that young people can do, it is complete madness “.

“Tom Brady is a representation of his hard work, his ability to understand and have a purpose in mind and all the sacrifices he had to make to be able to play for so long.. So it’s amazing to see him, as well as his commitment. “added the Tampa Bay offensive coordinator.
Finally, Leftwich highlighted the winning mentality of TB12, noticing that “It’s hard to do these things. There are a lot of obstacles that stand in the way. A lot of people are involved. So it is somewhat difficult to obtain. And when you do, it feels great, and obviously he did it seven times, he had a chance to do it 10 times. It’s crazy “.
