Honestly I don't think it had anything to do with the physical side. He's conditioned well enough to prevent that, at least any more than your average starting ILB.
Thing with Brady is, he's never been "right" in the head as a linebacker. Never. And he never will be. He had one season where we saw very little of his "issues"... but that's it. He's back. he has these ridiculous mental lapses where he'll get caught out of position until it's too late to react. Roy has it too. He's got the physical tools, and I think he probably knows the playbook well enough to call a decent game, but he doesn't have leadership quality - he doesn't have a field generalship about him.
That's the problem with our defense. Roy evades reporters and gets defensive about everything. T-New has called his own teammates out. D-Ware is too young. There is no leader on defense outside of the requisite, "I'm older than you so listen to me." I think there's probably one to be had - Newman is on the cusp and I can see Ware being there soon enough, with age. But until then, guys like Bradie are thrust into default leadership positions where they don't belong.
He'll never be better than what he is now. He'll always show flashes, always seem like he's "almost there"... and then he'll bite hard on a fake or miss a blatantly easy tackle and you're going to start doubting him again.
