Yup. Great coach meets great QB. It really is that simple.
The thing is...we really dont know who had all the ideas between them or if it was other coaches.
It most likely was a good coach with a good staff with a QB that was a fierce competitor, willing to study and put time into the craft along with being coachable.
Im curious if Brady immediately throwing ball into the ground if a pass play didnt look right was his idea or a coaches. Its smart and you still hardly see any other QBs do it as often as Brady.
The New England short yardage pass plays...highly efficient. Brady's idea or Bill and his staff? Patriots seemed to pave the road for small, quick white receivers.
Having a passing system where Brady could/would get ball out before you could sack him. His concept or the staffs? You still dont see a lot of teams following that style even though its smart. Boring but smart.
I know Peyton has said on tv that Brady stole concepts from the Colts. Hes passionate about it too.
I know Bill was a defensive guy...just curious how much influence he had on Brady' game. Not giving Bill full credit because Brady was the engine....but Bill seems like the guy to implement extremely safe effective football.
