"He's phenomenal,Nike Air Max Shoes Sale," Brady said. "We've never really talked a lot on the field. We've never really talked much off the field either. So, it's the way it goes, but he's a great player."
"It's been great for everybody to get your body a chance to take a little break and heal up a little bit," Brady said. "This is a first step for us. A lot of teams played last week. We didn't get a chance to do that."
In their three playoff matchups, he lost twice.
And he's no fan of Brady's, having criticized him for complaining to officials.
"It's the same (defensive) coordinator so a lot of the scheme stuff you see how he (Dean Pees) tried to defend us back then," Brady said. "We're a different team now, too, so I think the more information the better.
All those games were at Gillette Stadium, where the postseason rivals meet Saturday for the fourth time in six years.
But they're 24th in pass defense and tied for 25th with 11 interceptions
In beating the Steelers, the Ravens sacked Pittsburgh's Ben Roethslisberger five times
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The last time Tom Brady faced the Baltimore Ravens in the playoffs, he threw interceptions on the New England Patriots' final two drives.
Those three playoff games might make for some pretty ugly viewing,Air Max 97 Silver Bullet For Sale, but watching film of them might provide useful tips.
Their postseason rivalry began with Baltimore's 33-14 wild-card win in the 2009 season. Two years later, New England won 23-20 to advance to the Super Bowl, where it lost to the New York Giants.
In Brady's second consecutive AFC championship matchup with the Ravens on Jan. 20, 2013, the Patriots lost 28-13 after leading 13-7 at halftime.
Fiery linebacker Terrell Suggs is still around for the Ravens (11-6) and had an interception in last Saturday's 30-17 wild-card win over Pittsburgh.
"He's a quarterback. I'm a defender. He's got a job to do and so do I, so naturally there are going to be some disagreements there," he said Tuesday. "Nobody's really worried about what happened in the past. The only thing we're worrying about is this game."
Brady says none of that history will matter when he takes his first snap in the divisional playoff on the path to what he hopes will be his fourth straight AFC title game.
The Patriots did rout the Ravens in Baltimore last season 41-7, but Brady didn't have to do much. They led 17-0 early in the second quarter, LeGarrette Blount ran for two touchdowns and the defense produced four turnovers and four sacks.
Going 12-4 and earning the top seed in the AFC. Scoring the fourth most points in the NFL. Having a strong defense with outstanding cornerbacks Darrelle Revis and Brandon Browner. Leadership from a quarterback with the fifth best passer rating. And production from a tight end, Rob Gronkowski,Air Max 90 Black And White Mens, with the most receptions for anyone at his position and excellent blocking ability.
Those three games were hardly Brady's best: a total of three touchdown passes, seven interceptions and a 56.1 completion percentage.
That would be:
"I don't think that's really useful," the quarterback said Tuesday. "We can't change what has happened. You just have to move forward and you have to think about the things that we've done really well this year."
But four days before their most important game of the season,Cheap Nike Air Max 2018, both downplayed any differences.
The Ravens were second in the NFL with 49 sacks,NCAA Hockey Jerseys, led by Elvis Dumervil with 17 and Suggs with 12.
They didn't do that in two of their three playoff games against the Ravens.
"We've put ourselves in a good position," Brady said after returning to practice following a first-round bye. "We've just got to take advantage of it."
"They're a different team."
His next chance to beat the Ravens is just a few days away.
Suggs had a simple explanation for how he views Brady.
The Patriots got back to work on Tuesday,Cheap Air Max 95 Sale, working out in pads on a chilly day after five days without practice.
"It's a lot of pressure on us to do a good job," Connolly said. "It's our job to make sure Tom stays upright."
The Patriots offensive line should be back intact after left guard Dan Connolly missed the last two games with a knee injury. |
