Speaking on this morning’s OTB AM Mike Carlson says Tom Brady’s positional awareness and understanding of his offensive line, are what makes him a genius.
Brady launched the Patriot’s into the Super Bowl next week after a come from behind victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars in the AFC Championship game at Gillette stadium. The five-time Super Bowl winner completed 26 of 38 throws for 290 yards, including two touchdowns for the Patriots.
“This is the genius of Tom Brady. It’s the ability to stand in there, to know where he wants to go, and to know what is going to be available,' said Carlson.
The 40-year-old quarter back is set for another Super Bowl appearance and will be looking to win a sixth ring. Brady's two touchdown passes set up a meeting with the Philadelphia Eagles in Minnesota’s US Bank Stadium.
The Eagles strolled passed the Minnesota Vikings 38-7 in the NFC Championship game and will be vying for their first ever Super Bowl title.
Carlson also believes the New England talisman's realisiation to identifying weakness in the opponent is a key aspect to the Pat's success.
“Brady is the best in the business at knowing where his receivers are going to be, what’s going to be open, and what they are going to take advantage of.”
Super Bowl LII takes place February 4th in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
