You played with Brady for another coach of some repute by the name of Bill Belichick for an awful long time.

And I I don't recall Brady ever saying that about Bill.

What did you take away from the verbal bouquets?

Tom just threw in the direction of his new coach?

That was about to do.

That was two dozen red roses right there.

I mean, he was over the top about that particular comment on Bruce Arians and you think about back.

Probably midway through the season, I was saying that they might need to replace that coach.

And now Tom Brady saying all these wonderful things about Bruce Areas.

I wonder if it's because they're in the Super Bowl.

I mean, think about it.

If they would have lost last week, I'm sure there wouldn't have been such a compliment session on Bruce Arians.

But look, I mean, I think halfway through the season, when they went on this seven game winning streak, they changed a little bit.

Offensively, they protected Tom, or which I said was the Achilles heel of this team.

So Bruce Arians, maybe he changed a little bit.

Maybe from that seven game winning streak.

He's had 25% less pressure.

So I mean, something happened and Tom likes it.

I can't be the only one.

Dan Orlovsky.

I'm looking at you.

I can't be the only one that, as he was talking, all I could think of was Belichick.

That there was not.

The image of Bruce Arians never entered my mind as he was talking.

All I could picture was Belichick.

How about you?

Because we never heard Tom, at least while he was playing in New England, speak like this about Bill Belichick a little bit when he got done there.

I think that Tom Brady loves two things, team and sacrifice, and I think Bruce Arians has really embodied that this year.

In many ways, he's empowered Tom Brady in ways that we just didn't get to see in the past in New England, you know, like so often coaches and Nico and Bart no, this, like they think they know everything and so the player is always underneath them and they talked to players and I think Bruce Arians talked with Tom Brady this year and gave him the ability to take ownership off this offense.

and ownership of the football team, and he put the team first.

Nico talked about some of the adjustments post bye week that that potential golf foursome, right?

And then that the sacrifice of Bruce Arians going You know what Tom like.

I am going to step a little bit to the side, and I do want you to take over a little bit.

And I think that Brady is absolutely loved that Brady has loved the empowerment from his coast.

So I don't think Tom is just like throwing flowers here.

I think he's just sharing exactly how he feels when it comes to Bruce Arians that he's given him.

He's he's embody the two most important things that Tom Brady team and sacrifice.

He's empowered him in some ways.

I mean, Arians said, I just let him coach.

Sometimes I sit back and watch Bart Scott, what do you think?

Yeah, because I wonder what the narrative would have been early on in the season.

You know, I think that that really the pivotal week where they kind of came to in the two minds came and said, Hey, this in time, I'm gonna allow you to do What you need to do was doing that by week because I think that's when everything changed.

That's when they figured out what's their best personnel.

They were bouncing around.

No risky Nobis key.

Well, no risk is putting Tom Brady at risk.

You're going back there and Tom Brady and signed up to go back there and hit his head off the turf.

You know, I think when they decided to go with two tight ends on the field, it opened everything up.

It also provided, you know, Tom Brady with a lot of protection and listen, we all we all love structure early on in our career, but at some point we figure it out and we say, Hey, I don't need all this coaching, No over coaching.

I think early on Bruce Erin was doing a lot of over coaching.

You know, I think he was criticizing him, But I think he figured out what the player he has.

And it takes time, you know, to get the chemistry right.

And I think they found that that delicate balance where we could do a little bit of what you wanna do, Bruce.

But we could do a little bit about what I like to do because what I like to do gotta six Super Bowls.

I think he likes the fact that he doesn't have the structure is not a it's stressful.

Is that what I hear?

I mean, Nico could speak to it what that environment is like in New England.

I think it's a little bit more relaxing.

Tampa and listen at this stage in times career.

I think that's what he enjoys.

A little fun in the sun.

That's where all old people go to retire.

Florida, right?

That's right, and it's working out for him and his his golden years again.

Those words that were just up on the screen there.

He's a great friend.

He's a great person.

He's very loyal.

I don't think those were all about changing the blocking scheme.

There seems to be a little more than that.
