A.Q. Shipley, a former teammate of Tom Brady, recently talked about how the Bucs quarterback goes on with his preparation for games. Shipley was a center on the Bucs squad and later turned into an assistant coach on the team.

Talking about Brady, Shipley said, “The one thing that [Brady] had more than everybody is just his relentless ability to prepare. I say time and time again you watch guys prepare during the week and, you know, you hear so many guys once Friday’s done, it’s like, ‘Alright, the hay’s in the barn. Now it’s time to go play.’ And I felt like Friday with him was when he was just getting started.”

Brady’s safety blankets are no longer on the team, so he’ll need to tweak some things. Mike Evans is still on the team, but the Tampa Bay Buccaneers need to add some weapons to help Brady. Otherwise, things might get ugly for them if a player gets injured.
