When the comparisons arrive in the NFL to determine the “best player of all time” it is common that the arguments on behalf of Tom Brady Y Joe Montana be the ones that gather the most supporters. Athletes from different backgrounds, but from the same position, ultimately enter a myriad of common sites: multiple championships, orchestrators of a dynasty in the league, authors of different brands, icons of a club, and respected by countless of colleagues.
The end of their careers even took a similar turn. Montana left the Niners after 13 years and four championships in San Francisco to play two more years behind center with the Kansas City Chiefs. Brady, for his part, left Foxborough after 20 years in the team with which he won six Super Bowl rings for a new stage – possibly final – with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Before starting free agency, Montana advised Brady to avoid moving from one city to another at his age. At 42, Brady brought his talents to South Florida to start a new adventure. Seven weeks after his debut in a different uniform than his entire career, Brady keeps the Buccaneers at the top of their division (5-2) and is, at 43, the second quarterback with the most touchdown passes. in the NFL with just 18 against four interceptions.
Montanta only tried to guide Brady. The intent of his advice never meant distrust of the fuel remaining in Brady’s tank: “I never doubted he would have anything but success there. They loaded him up with weapons. They brought him to his old target. [Rob Gronkowski]. Things started to get in the right place for him. “said in Wake Up Call with Tony Desiere and Ronn Culver.
Pressure Brady, the Giants’ tactic

It happened in the beginning when it surprised the league and it continues to happen this season. The defensive end Leonard Williams hope that Giants put pressure on the quarterback next Monday.
Every time I’ve played Tom Brady, even early in my career, he’s known for hitting the ball really fast. Also, he’s not the kind of quarterback who sneaks out, doesn’t get out of the pocket and the like. It can, if you let it, but it doesn’t want to run. He wants to stay in the bag, he wants a line at the foot of the battle and get the ball fast, “Williams analyzed from experience after having played 10 games against the Patriots during his stay with the Jets.
With a career win against Brady, Williams thinks he knows what the Giants need for next Monday night: “For a defensive line, we want to have that middle presence, that push, not allow him to plant for his shipments. make him take the pass from [el apoyo de] his back foot and things like that. Just put the pressure on his face. “
