While true, you aren't seeing that translate into more offense. The part where I think Brady is wrong is that he blames coaching. I dont think thats it at all. WRs are better coached at the college level than they used to be, are taken earlier in the draft, and expected to produce at an earlier rate than they used to be. This is a function of rookie contracts, parity, and the salary cap. Teams cant afford to sign expensive WRs so rookies are expected to play immediately. You also have defenses running '4-2' defenses instead of 3-4 or 4-3. This adds an extra DB. So teams can take away your best receiving option at any given down. Teams need to run the ball to keep defenses honest but its not working.I won't argue that. Though as he's suggesting in the video posted, now the WR's are also protected more than ever
Back in the day if you ran 4-2 against Brady he would audible into a run. And it worked. Not sure whats different. Its entirely possible that coaches are just simply not seeing the game the way Brady did and does
