Heres an example
NFL playoffs -- Tom Brady through the eyes of his backups
This is the part that speaks volumes:
Back in those days, Brady was unmarried, with no kids or obligations. And he spent all of his time on football. Miller used to laugh at the fact that Brady didn't know much about politics or just about anything else going on in the world outside the football offices back then. He didn't have time. His impromptu quarterback meetings over breakfast on game days were like lightning rounds on quiz shows. He'd have his backups run him through a fire drill of questions and possible scenarios.
Anyone who's played behind Brady has inevitably watched more game film than he cares to mention. Some of them can't understand how Brady and Belichick could sit there, for three hours straight, never taking their eyes off the film.
That was when Brady was 26,unmarried and no kids.Griff has not been putting the time in the filmroom as it is,having a kid is not going to help that situation,thats all Im saying.We have to hope he can overcome it. |
A work/life balance is something everyone deals with, besides its not like these guys watch film 24/7. He'll manage.
