Tom on Weei

Re-listening to the interview now, gonna pump out my immediate reactions.

- At what point did Brady become fully Belichickean with the media? Rookies are told to watch themselves but at this point Tom is completely fluent in the ways of Bill.

- Tom notes that Bill wasn't as enthusiastic about the Bucs game as everyone else was. Of course he wasn't.

- He sort of sounds like he thinks he'll be playing in the last preseason game.

-Makes sure that D and C understand that sacks aren't necessarily always on the offensive line. Everyone has to be on the same page.

- Reacts to Tedy Bruschi saying that Patriots need to learn to win without Tom playing well. Says its rare for any team to win when the qb doesn't play well. Says he expects to play at a very high level every game and when he doesn't he's extremely disappointed. Thats my quarterback.

- Miscommunication with Ocho on interception? Tom says no. Said he checked the blitz and that he was fooled. Also blames himself for not getting Deion and Ocho the ball enough. Weird, I didn't even realize that Branch hadn't touched the ball yet.

- Tom says he doesn't have enough room in his apartment for Ocho. I'm sure he does.

- Says hes slept over in the stadium before. Wow that would be miserable. Sleeping at work. Then again these guys job is to play with a ball.

- Reiterates that Ocho loves football.

- Thinks that he himself is playing a little too tense and he needs to let his instincts take over. At this point you can clearly hear his son in the background. Which one is that? Benjamin? The other one? I think Ben's the Gisele one.

- Said he's not sure if he'll play in the last preseason game but he'd love to get out there and find his rhythm. He'll put his two cents in.
