Me too!  I'm really curious what the purpose of this was.  Are they about to hook him up to some type of training equipment to get warmed up or something?   If anyone knows what this was all about I'd love to hear it!

 

It's a resistance rope. One person holds the end of it while the player runs against the tension.

As Dustin mentioned in the post above, it's a resistance rope. The trainer holds the end of the rope, while the QB works on his drop back, using the resistance to work on increasing quickness of his drop backs.

Is this a bet Tom had with Aaron if he lost? Usually, QB leaders just exchange clam chowder & cheese. Giselle I could see having Brady on a leash as his wife no one else though. 

 

Still, it's a funny jpeg though. Kudos to Dustin for posting it. I respect Brady, but even I've gotta admit that this image is hysterical.  ;)

 

Does it mean that Brady was not given a post game treat last night too? Only teasing my NE friends! Thanks for being a great sports about the loss to the GB Packers BTW. You all Rock!

I thought it might be his punishment for screaming the F word over and over at the end of the game  :thmup:  :banana:

First, Jonas Gray's alarm clock malfunctions & now BB places Tommy in the doghouse. Rut Row! I kid; I kid. 

 

Actually, I loved that part because Brady is so competitive & driven to win. I was really surprised with how well GB's offensive line held up against NE's defense: Browner was no factor & neither was Wilfork which amazed me. Something I never thought I'd ever see this season against an NFC team. 

 

Brady took the loss hard too in the post game press conference. He was so somber. I was like chill Tommy you didn't lose the SB again dude. Yeah I know, he doesn't want the Broncos to gain any ground & play the AFC Championship Game in Denver again I get it.

The way Tom was barking (as in the f bomb) maybe the coaches thought he needed to be muzzled? :number1:

I saw that during the game what is that all about ?

Thats one of the ways Brady works on his footwork and his 3, 5 and 7 step drops.. he gets leashed and does his dropback and footwork with resistance, sort of like a baseball player does warm up swings with weighted or multiple bats

That is pretty genius really I've only saw that used in MMA to help with explosiveness in take downs .

i saw that too during the game . . . altho it is typically a strengthening/stretching exercise . . my guess was that they were also doing it to see how he cleats would hold up in on the grass and how much stress he can put on the ground . . .

Honestly I maintain that if we had not first used leashes on dogs nearly everyone would be doing that.

Yeah, you're probably right. It would of course be less odd to see in public if everyone did it. I don't have kids, but my cousins were demons when they were around 4-6 and my aunt had the leash on them almost everywhere we went ha.

      Sure. I support that, too. What I don't get is people saying others need to stop discussing this subject or that people are ruining this message board by stating opinions they don't agree with.

      How can you watch Colts games with so many injuries to top players?

      By Yoshinator · Posted

      I know this doesn't compare to your children, but I have genuinely put in an effort as well not to yell or get violent since I've got my Labrador Retriever 2 1/2 years ago. She is my life, and I always want her to be comfortable around me. I've finally got on some good medication that has lowered my outbursts, and I'm probably living a better life than I have since 2011 which was the last year I had a huge social life and was traveling and playing pokemon with all my best friends.    I just enjoy sports a ton and is still a mini-escape from life. I want to feel like I can enjoy a journey that my team can win a championship. If we lose, that's one thing and I'm fine with it as long as there is maximum effort given. When we lose and it's due to circumstances out of our control (injuries) seemingly every year, that's when I become apathetic towards the team over time.   The Atlanta Braves had a horrible season with injuries this year, but because we won a WS three years ago and make the playoffs every year, it's more forgivable. When we just lose every year, or the times we win it's a QB like Rivers who has 1 year with us and he retires, I just give up. I have no control to fix the team myself, and I resort to playing Madden instead.   Also, I'm sorry that you lost your friend in NC due to the flooding. That has to be horrible to go through. I have a bunch of friends in the South who lost power for 3 1/2 days and a cousin in Florida whose house got destroyed and she has to move in with her sister now. That hurricane sucked for so many people.

      I’d say Levis is worse than AR as of this season. He’s single handedly lost the Titans multiple games.

      You’re right. You have every right to have your opinion.    Odds are stacked in favor of failure more than success in the NFL. Sustained winning is hard. Avoiding injuries is hard nowadays for QBs… More than likely due to the odds the Colts will be continuing to search for a QB in the future.    It is what it is.

      I’m sorry you feel this way. I’ve struggled with it in the past. I’ve made a post a few weeks back but it bears repeating:   I used to get irrationally angry watching Colts games. It was bad. It was violent. Looking back, it was embarrassing.   What finally changed for me was seeing the look of fear in my little children’s eyes staring up at me with tears. It… washed away my cares for the Colts. That probably sounds bad, but I no longer care as much about what happens with the team. It was one my entire persona. It was as if my own personal happiness stemmed from the team’s success.    All I can tell you is that at some point you’ll learn to separate the Colts from your personal identify.    There are other things truly more worthy of your worries and stress than a football team. I promise you.    Be well and cherish life. I recently lost a great friend in NC due to the horrible flooding. Life is too short to waste it away fretting over the Colts.
