During his weekly news conference Wednesday, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was asked about the importance of sustaining drives against the New Orleans Saints this Sunday, and his response reflected his overall frustration with the unit's production.
Brady huddles with the press in Foxboro - Quincy, MA - The Patriot Ledger
TB: They’re one of the best football teams in the league, so it’s going to be a good challenge for us. They’re 5-0. They’re playing great in all three phases, so we’ve got to bring our best to beat them. But they challenge you in all areas. They’ve been one of the best teams in the league for a while. So, it’s good to play an NFC opponent, we’ve played two of them. Hopefully we can go out and beat these guys, but it will be tough.

Bill Belichick Press Conference Transcript
BB: I think Rob is, when he was here, he wasn’t a coordinator. He coached the linebackers then he went to Oakland as the coordinator. He was the coordinator in Oakland and Dallas and now obviously New Orleans. But I would say that the characteristics of his defense have remained pretty much the same throughout the years that I’ve seen him and when we’ve played him, which hasn’t been every year but it’s been a few times. He’s sound fundamentally and he does game plan things from week to week that try to attack the opponent’s weaknesses.

League of Denial: The NFL’s Concussion Crisis | FRONTLINE | PBS
FRONTLINE reveals the hidden story of the NFL and brain injuries. Full video.
Would You Do It Again? We Ask Former NFLer Derland Moore
This is an interview series in which we ask the plaintiffs of the NFL concussion lawsuit one question (and maybe a few more): Knowing what you know now, if you could do it over again, would you still play football? Today: Former defensive lineman Derland Moore. Moore walked on at the University of Oklahoma, made All-America in 1972, and was selected by New Orleans in the second round of the 1973 NFL draft. When he retired in 1986 he had played 170 of his 171 professional games on the Saints' defensive line. He resides in Louisiana as a "part farmer, part businessman" and whole grandfather of three. Moore is one of the more than 4,500 retired NFL players to bring suit against the league over head injuries.
Belichick reacts to 'League of Denial' questions | Comcast SportsNet - CSNNE.com
"I can say this, there's nothing more important to a coach than the health of his team," he said. "Without a healthy team, you don't have a team. We try to do everything we can to have our players healthy, to prepare them, to prevent injuries, then to treat injuries, then to have them play as close to 100-percent as you can. Because without them, you have no team."
