Tom Brady Trojan Forever Points Member Joined: Sep 7, 2017 Messages: 281 Likes Received: 348 Jan 18, 2021 #1 Did anyone notice that at age 43 on the 1 1/2 yard line, Brady lined up under center and sneaked it in for the final touchdown? Also, earlier in the game he had a quarterback sneak with 4th and less than a yard in his own territory. I know this is not "who we are", but I would rather be a WINNER than "who we are."

It all starts with the OLine. Jimmy Johnson understood that and his Oline was a dynasty. Helton still has not figured that out. Fight On! Butcher22, AMLTrojan and gubo&palanka like this.

Simple read created by a shift and over compensation by the D. Smart coaches give players an edge. OC2SC, Trojan4life_itul1, AMLTrojan and 2 others like this.

OLine stayed relaxed and upright, faking the defensive line into thinking the Chiefs were just trying to get an offsides penalty on the Browns. Fastest guy, Tyreek Hill one-on-one, with 2 other WRs running interference.....easy inside-out pass pattern for the 1st down.

Talk about a guy who plays through the whistle. It was fun watching the Saints defenders crying to the officials all night about how rough he was treating them. 4thamp1 likes this.

That looked like a high school video made for college recruiters. If only we could see that again at USC, well I guess not with Helton at the helm! Fight On!
