Determine a Bucks repeat.

Ready for this?

Tom Brady's offense will determine if they're both excellent.

Bucks are loaded both sides of the ball.

That's right, Tom Brady's offense.

Why have I just given it up for Tom Brady?

Well, you won the Super Bowl?

No, not necessarily, because you can game manage your way to a Super Bowl.

If you have absurd weapons on offense and a great defense in a running game and you get a little lucky, that's not what I saw from Brady.

I saw a great quarterback.

Still, I just give it up.

I think that I was wrong and others were right when they said at the end of his tenure in New England, he simply didn't have the weapons.

Seemed to me, couldn't do it anymore.

Shorter and shorter passes right?

Like fewer yards per attempt.

But not only that, he was missing receivers every which way.

Long, short left, right?

Like it didn't matter.

I thought No, no.

The guys getting old.

Nope.

He showed that was not the case and you saw New England without him.

Same thing.

No offense.

Nope.

It's one thing to have an embarrassment of riches.

It's another thing to use them competently, and it's another thing still, to use them at a very high level, which is what Brady did.

Give it up.

That's why I threw 40 touchdowns last year.

That's why the books had the third highest scoring offense last year, and he had to do it in a covid year without a preseason with a coach who seemed to have the opposite offensive philosophy that he had.

Now you add to that the fact that a B is going to have a whole season.

You understand how good Mike Evans and Chris Godwin are who are still there.

If a baby is healthy and is acclimated, he's by far the best offensive weapon they have on the theme.

And I haven't mentioned even Gronk or O J.

Howard, who wasn't available because of injury at the end of the year or break like they have so many absurd weapons on offense.

And given the level Tom Brady still playing at, given what the offense did last year, If you make me choose between the offense and the defense, good as the defense is, the offense was beautiful to to hear you try to gloss over how wrong you've been over the last four years.

Stated the symptoms, You've been wrong.

And then so now you want to talk about how right you are, because remember, you're the one that went on national television and said, You're the foremost expert on Tom Brady because you've been running the previous four years.

So because of that, yes, you did.

Because you have been wrong for four years, you would know better than anybody.

I mean the logic.

It boggles the mind spark Kelemen at it again.

But here's the reality is about Tampa Bay's defense.

And I'll tell you why.

Because of the residual impact of what transpired in the Super Bowl shows you what a stout defense can do if you can get to the pastor if you can disrupt, think about this for a second.

Think about all the greatness or the laudable as you threw in the direction of Patrick Mahomes.

If you can make him look like that primarily because number one he had a foot injury and number two, a lot of his dudes didn't show up.

I mean, we all know that he wasn't getting any kind of protection everyone and one to the offensive.

I'm just saying it's all his offensive line, no question about.

I don't disagree with you with that.

But I'm saying because you apply pressure on him and that's really what you did to Kansas City.

That's how you exposed him.

I got news for you.

We don't know what Tampa Bay would have been like had the game been tight.

Had to see.

This is the thing that everybody misses.

We look at the final score, we look at the culmination of things and we say That's what it was.

But excuse me, moments can lead to you just disintegrating before our very eyes.

You can become a bit demoralized.

Fatigue can be kick, kick, kick in, mental fatigue.

Kicking all of these things can take place.

And what does that to you better than a stout defense?

And so when I look at Barrett, even though I hope they get in Dominican Sue back, I hope they don't let him get away in free agency.

But and I don't know if we know if we know for sure that they are going to keep Antonio Brown.

I know, Evans God, when God, you know Scotty Miller and those boys that I'm just saying, If you Antonio Brown because you're Super Bowl champion, there might be better options for you monetarily speaking, even though if he was smart, he would stay with them in the end.

Here's the reality that defense Devin White and the crew being as ferocious as they were not allowing Kansas City to come in their house and handle their business the way that they are customarily doing holding up without a touchdown.

I'm just looking at it from that standpoint.

You got that proverbial monkey off your back.

Tom Brady's got his championship.

You've got your championship, your first since 2000 and three.

All of these things taking into consideration and the expectations haven't been met.

I think the defense is going to come back even more ferocious.

They were number one against the rush, but they were like 21st against the past eighth overall.

As a result, I think this year they're going to be even better against the past.

They're going to get to the pastor even better, and they're gonna recap excellent defense.

But look, I think that's gonna be the key to me.

The Super Bowl, more than anything, was not in the box.

Played excellent defense.

They have an excellent offense.

More than anything.

Mahomes lost both starting tackles, both starting tackles against that defense and Todd Bowles new.

I can get pressure, which he did on almost every snap without sending extra guys so that everyone is covered to me.

That, like, if Mahomes has both starting tackles, I agree with you.

Maybe they win, I don't know.

But my point is, Brady's offense is really what makes it special.

When you look at the defense is excellent, but the offense with that quarterback and by the way, the offensive line did a really good job and came together as the season went on.

Stephen, assuming they have a baby, talk about the best, deepest receiving corps of all time.

Is it this bucks receiving corps?

Tell me another one with a B, Mike Evans, Godwin and all those tight ends.

I don't think I can think of one where I would say A B is one of the best ever.

Mike Evans, a perennial Pro Bowl caliber player.

Godwin is still ascending, right, Scotty Miller is actually the outside that he's the burner.

I mean, And then you have all those tight ends I and then with Brady still playing like this.

Tell me how they got weapons.

I'm just saying the defense is going to decide whether they win it or not.

Not the office.

We know what you've got to play some defense.

I'm saying you got to peg one or the other.

You're taking the defense.

Yes.
