Microsoft Surface tablets have received another blow from the New England Patriots. This time, it's Tom Brady delivering the punch.
A couple days after head coach Bill Belichick declared that he's finished using the technology on the sideline due to it being unreliable, Brady admitted that he's never used the tablets all that much.
From Brady's press conference, transcribed on Patriots.com:
“You know, I've never been too much of a picture or tablet [guy]. I kind of know what I see,” Brady said. “I see out there and as soon as I come off the field, Josh [McDaniels] will say, ‘What was it?' and I'll say, ‘Oh, they did this and this guy dropped.' I'll peek at them from time to time with Josh. It's great for the coaches because they have a different angle. It's hard to see when you're seeing from the sideline. When you're out there playing, a lot of times I can come over and tell Josh, ‘This is what happened and here's why we did that.'
While Brady said he doesn't use pictures much either, he at least uses them in some cases:
“Maybe to verify some fronts and stuff like that to make sure of where guys are shaded and identification, because in our system, we always set the scheme of blocking on every play, so we just want to make sure we get it set the right way so that everyone can really be deployed the right way. That's where the pictures probably help me.”
