Tom Brady may be the best quarterback on the planet, the fastest and most mobile he is not. After another run against the Buffalo Bills including a hit, coach Bruce Arians has seen enough.

Munich – When Tom Brady picks up the ball and runs, people react differently.

Quarterback legend and “CBS” pundit Tony Romo, for example, made fun of the 44-year-old’s somewhat ponderous gait. He is far from the only one who has to grin when Brady stomps off at a manageable pace and a little stiff in the hips.

Brady’s coach Bruce Arians, on the other hand, holds his breath when his superstar starts moving. And by now has also seen enough of his quarterback’s limited running ability.

Tom Brady: Kickoff after win against Buffalo Bills

“That’s enough of that shit now,” Arians grumbled after the 33-27 overtime win over the Buffalo Bills.

Brady finished with 16 rushing yards against the Bills. The fact that he is not the most explosive is not the problem for Arians. It’s the hits Brady could take.

Against the Bills there was also a hit when he tried to gain a first down. From the coach’s point of view, this was unnecessary, especially in view of the risk of injury, which is higher for a 44-year-old than for a younger playmaker.

Tom Brady takes Bruce Arians’ reaction in stride

Brady takes coach’s whistle with humour. “I think that’s the first time I’ve ever heard him swear,” Brady said, laughing.

Brady continued, “He’s right. He’s right. I agree with B.A.: ‘Get my ass on the floor.’ That’s what I deserve. That’s where I should be. They’re trying to put me down pretty hard, and they’ve made some good hits.”

He announced he would cut down on the outings, “I think in the future I’ll only walk when I have to.” Arians, in particular, will be happy to hear that.s
