Tom Brady says he ‘can’t do s*** without guys doing what they are amazing at too’

Tom Brady has called up the entire Tampa Bay Buccaneers team to come back up after 3-5 this season, with the quarterback admitting he is unable to play his best in a struggling side.

The Bucs quarterback has made several rallying cries this season at his underperforming teammates during a period of testing for him, both on and off the field.

Brady spoke before the franchise’s huge match-up with the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.

The 45-year-old is 164 yards shy of 100,000, but when asked about that potential feat, he admitted he can’t do it without his teammates.

“I don’t think I can do anything in this competition without guys doing what they’re great at,” he said on Thursday.

“You either accept the challenge or you step up.

“Our great players have to come out and perform well. The guys who have played a lot of football should do better. That’s part of what leadership is all about. It drives people into practice. It tries to get a greater sense of urgency.

“When things go well, it feels really good and easy. When things don’t go well, it feels very difficult, like a challenge.

“It’s about whether you take up the challenge again, or you take up the challenge.”
