Tom Brady receiver? The Super Bowl loss to the Eagles had already shown that this was not his preferred position.
Sunday, when the quarterback is now 45 years old, the Buccaneers had the funny idea to try again. Another failure.
This time, number 12 finished on the grass, leaving Tariq Woolen to intercept the pass thrown by Leonard Fournette.
A few plays earlier, Tampa had fielded the same lineup, and Brady had been left alone by the defense. Except that Fournette had not launched towards.
The second time…
“I was hoping to be wide open, and I probably was the first time around. I think they got it on the second,” Brady told the Tampa Bay Times. “They said, ‘Cover it! Cover it! I was along the sideline and tried to shout, “Lenny, no!” But it was too late, the ball flew in the air and I tried to do what I could, jump and deflect it. But I ended up with my nose in the grass. »
An episode on which he also returned in his podcast.
“I think the thing is, when the ball was in the air, I clearly knew I wasn’t going to catch the ball, but I tried to at least tackle and try to at least keep the ball. , and then I ended up with my nose in the grass. So basically I felt both embarrassment and shame on the same action. I will never forget this action. I haven’t had many receptions in my career, so I thought it would be cool to have one in Germany. But it finally seems logical that a country like Germany which has no speed limit on the motorways sees me running tracks as a receiver, that is to say very, very slowly. »
Brady wasn’t too traumatized. Unlike the Super Bowl played in 2018, his team won. And after the meeting, he said he had a great time in Munich.
