Brady: We're Not The 2007 Patriots
FOXBORO (CBS) -- Despite how people wanna make the comparison that this Patriots team is a like the 2007 record breaking squad, Tom Brady said today," that's not the case."
"Entirely different team and entirely different what we're trying to do with the football," Brady explained. "We were much more of a spread offense [in 2007], three- and four-receiver sets. Throw the ball for as many yards as we could every week. There are different ways to get the job done out there, and I think this year we found some different ways using the skill set of the guys that we have on our team. That was a very prolific team, in '07, just a very different team. Different work habits, different personality."
Brady said the work habits are different. The '07 team was a veteran squad and they knew how to get after it. This team is young and they are learning to work hard.
"It's a younger team so we practice quite a bit more than we did in '07," Brady said. "The practices are longer, we're going over situational stuff every week. The way we watch film is different as a team, there are just some things we're doing different."
