Brady also talked about how he prepared this week following the birth of his daughter.
Tom Brady recently went on WEEI to talk about Monday night’s 42-14 win over the Houston Texans and the upcoming game against the 49ers. Here are some highlights:
On MVP chants: “I heard it. I'm very flattered to even be considered for something like that. Honestly, the most important thing for me is winning games and enjoying it with my teammates. Everything that I do is dependent on them, on the group of guys that I play with, and the successful years we've had with our team has been all about team football. That's what our team has been built on, and that's what our team is about."
On the 49ers’ defense: "One of the best that I've ever seen. Physical, extremely physical in the secondary with the safeties, two safeties who are phenomenal players in Dashon Goldson and Donte Whitner, good solid group of corners, two of the best linebackers in NaVorro Bowman and Patrick Willis, guys that can rush the quarterback in Justin Smith and Aldon Smith. They can rush, they can cover, they can stop the run, they can blitz. They really allow their guys to do things that they are good at. It's going to be fun, they've got a great group, I haven't played the 49ers in a long time and I'm always excited to play the 49ers."
On the birth of his daughter: "Not difficult at all, to tell you the truth. We had an extra day to prepare, and I tried to get ahead. I've always been trying to get ahead these last few weeks. When our little girl came I was where I needed to be, so it was just great. She was born at night and I was able to go in the next night and miss just a little bit of the meetings in the morning and get right to work. Everything was taken care of at home."
On Aaron Hernandez’ second touchdown: “Aaron is always waving his hand like he’s open. I’ve got to tone him down from time to time. He waves it when he’s double covered, too. I say, ‘Don’t worry, I see you.’ I always tell the guys, ‘I see exactly what you see.’ When you’re open, sometimes you don’t want to draw attention to yourself, but he was so excited. I was trying to just make sure everyone was set before we snapped the ball because if I didn’t, then we have a penalty.”
