Tom Brady has endured a rocky start to his stint with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After failing to win over a number of fans with his inconsistent performances through the season, if rumors are anything to go by, the former Patriots star hasn’t quite struck the right chord with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Head Coach Bruce Arians either.

Speaking to the media, Brady cleared the air about his relationship with Arians and dismissed some of the rumors surrounding their relationship.

New Orleans Saints Head Coach Offers Update on Drew Brees’ Return

Brady, however, underlined that things have been difficult this year given the COVID pandemic. With player interactions with coaches and one another limited only to their time on the training ground, things have been far from normal.

“It’s been a different year for all of us dealing with those types of circumstances where normally you would have opportunities to, get to know each other in a different way.

“But, you know, it’s tough for all of us around the facility. You don’t get one-on-one time with anybody, you don’t get any personal time where you’d be sitting around talking and eating together.

“There’s no close contact. So, you know, every conversation is just very different from what it’s been in the past,” Brady said.

Admiration for Arians on and off the pitch

Despite their limited interaction, Brady said he admires Arians for his command over everyone. He also reasserted the fact that the two share a great open line of communication.

“We’re making the best of it. Like I said, it’s been very open and honest, the dialogue about how we think that I can be most effective. We’ve always had a great open line of communication.

“So I really enjoyed my time obviously getting to know him and I have great admiration for him as a coach, as a man and what he is off the field and how he commands and leads the team.”

Former Pro Bowler Names the Three Scariest Teams Heading Into Playoffs

Gunning for a playoff spot

The Buccs sit second in the NFC South with an 8-5 record. As things stand, Brady’s side is the sixth seed from the NFC and enjoy a slight edge over the 7th seed Cardinals. With the playoff scenario being as tight as it is, each game from here on out is a must win to stay in contention.

The Buccaneers were lauded for their balanced offensive display against the Minnesota Vikings last Sunday. A game where the Buccs chose to run the ball more and throw less.

This approach certainly helped Brady find some form, and he ended the game with 0 interceptions. An aspect of the game which he struggled with during the previous games against the LA Rams and the Kansas City Chiefs.

With a game against the Atlanta Falcons coming in hot, the Buccaneers offense will look to replicate some of the fine form that helped them get the better of the Vikings.
