The way people are disrespecting Pat just because of his greatness is crazy. But if we have to suffer now in order to make him better moving forward then I'll take it. I saw Brady get interviewed before the game and he spoke about how Spags totally fooled him in 2007 and it made him have to rethink everything. So when we played them vs Tampa he was so obsessed with learning Spags scheme and the tendencies of the defense during the two week break that there was no way he was gonna be fooled again. I don't know what Pat does now but that is something he needs if he's not doing it already. Studying some games is one thing. Learning every detail is another. Because sometimes I feel like Pat is too loyal to Andy's scheme and that might need to change now.
I remember a few years ago Pat was asked what he wanted to improve on in the offseason. And he said "nothing much. Just fundamentals in my footwork". That can't be the mindset this offseason.
1. Deep ball
2. Throwing seam balls
3. Throwing jump balls
4. Throwing back-shoulder fades
5. Cadence to catch defenses offside
6. Ability to catch defenses trying to sub players
7. Work on throwing mechanics
8. Ability inside the ten to rush for TD's
Basically all the things he's either not done well lately or has stayed away from. Everything has to be on the table now.
Not saying he has to completely change himself. I just want him to add much more arrows than he's ever had to his bow. That's all. So that maybe a bad line doesn't completely ruin a game moving forward.
