New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady spoke about what the Patriots offense ‘hid’ from Bill Belichick, as the trio of Belichick, Brady, and former offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels dominated the NFL.
Belichick wanted a smaller play-call sheet in games, while McDaniels wanted to expand the offensive playbook. As a result, Brady and McDaniels would take matters into their own hands.
The former quarterback appeared on a blog for his YouTube channel earlier this week and gave fans a behind-the-scenes look at what the play-calling process was like for New England.
“This is our final call sheet,” Brady explained. “There was about 95 [plays] and Josh [McDaniels] always hid plays in here from Bill because Bill never wanted a high play count. So Josh would asterisk plays. …Then, there was the back of the call sheet. We probably ended up having 150 plays.”
It’s safe to say the plan worked as the trio put together a dynasty that yielded six Super Bowl wins. Brady’s random football stories in his vlogs have been fun to hear up to this point for NFL fans.
There are likely plenty more anecdotes to come from the legendary quarterback.
