The Los Angeles Rams are preparing to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and their excellent passing attack, led by legendary quarterback Tom Brady. Brady is so good that he often wins despite a defense's best efforts to slow him down. However, Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald knows Brady well from a previous Super Bowl matchup they had back when Brady was with the New England Patriots. Speaking to reporters on Friday ahead of the Rams-Buccaneers clash, Donald revealed the key to beating Brady, via NBC Sports.
“You do that with any quarterback,” Donald told reporters on Thursday regarding the concept of getting pressure on Brady. “You can affect them and get them a little rattled. When you’re playing against a guy like Tom Brady, that’s a must to have success.
Rams star Aaron Donald is absolutely right. Of course, getting to the quarterback is key in any game, but especially key against Tom Brady and the Buccaneers. Tampa Bay was adept at protecting Brady this year, giving him ample time to pick defenses apart.
Donald knows that the Rams can't afford to let that happen with Brady. As he said, the Los Angeles defensive line has to “affect” the Buccaneers star and get him “rattled.”
That's easier said than done with Brady, though both Donald and fellow Rams star Von Miller have been a part of defenses that have been able to do it. Plus, injuries on the Buccaneers' offensive line could make getting to Brady a bit easier.
Rams star Aaron Donald knows the key to beating Tom Brady. Now, he'll have to go out and do it when the two teams collide Sunday.
