a lot of improvement<\/a> from where it\u2019s been,\u201d Brady said on the Stick to Football podcast. \u201cLast year, we just underperformed in every area. And it\u2019s everybody\u2019s fault. That\u2019s the reality. There\u2019s nobody who did a good job. There\u2019s not one player in the organization, there\u2019s not anybody involved that did the job to the level that it needs to be done at. And everybody needs to improve. And it starts with me, and it filters down to the rest of the players on the field, and they\u2019ve got to go out there, and ultimately they\u2019ve got to perform at a high level.\u201d<\/p>\n(Maxx Crosby and Brock Bowers possibly would beg to differ with Brady.)<\/p>\n
When pressed for a specific number of wins Brady expects, he kept it general.<\/p>\n
\u201cA massive improvement,\u201d Brady said. \u201cAnd I would expect daily improvement, and I\u2019d expect hourly improvement. I really would. Every day that goes by, when you\u2019re on a good team, every day and every week goes by, you should be better. Like, a good team should be better at the end of the season than the beginning of the season, or you\u2019re not a good team. If you have more time together and more practice and you\u2019re getting worse, something\u2019s wrong. <\/p>\n
\u201cIf you have more time, more practice, you should be getting better. Now the problem\u2019s the offseason, you change players, you change coaches, and now you\u2019ve got to rebuild to where you were. Like, a lot of the teams I played on, the best game we played all season was the last game of the year. That says to me a lot about what the team\u2019s all about.\u201d<\/p>\n
The problem is that Brady isn\u2019t in position to grab an oar and row the boat, because he works for Fox calling games. The best way for him to hold the team truly accountable would be to embrace his role and be there for the daily \u2014 and hourly \u2014 improvement he expects to see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In Tom Brady\u2019s first full season as a minority owner of the Raiders, the Raiders stunk.
