quote from Brady on Amendola's TD and the scramble drill...sounds like a 2nd-yr starter not 15yr vet. to me, another example of his competitiveness/commitment: "It’s never really been something that I’ve been great at is extending plays and I see some of these players – whether it be Russell Wilson or Aaron Rodgers, or Jay Cutler does it, Alex Smith does it, some really mobile quarterbacks that do a great job for their team, Ben Roethlisberger’s done it for a lot of years – so just trying to understand how I can help our team more and if I can make more of those plays, I think it would really help our team. So I try to focus on that a little bit, coach has talked about it, and I think there could be more of those still too; I don’t think instinctually it’s there for me yet, but I’m going to keep working at it, because you when they happen, they end up being big plays, big momentum plays. Sometimes the defense has the initial part of the pattern covered, and if you’re able to extend the play and buy your teammates more time to get open, it’s like a whole other play, so it’s a great advantage for an offense. Like I said, it hasn’t really been a strength of mine, and I’m trying to do a better job of it so hopefully it’s not as big a weakness as it’s been in the past."
