Tom Brady reacts after the Patriots conclude a surprising exchange for Josh Gordon

The Patriots game has certainly not been one of the team's strengths this year. In the past two weeks, Tom Brady has only accumulated 255.5 yards per game, its lowest total in two games since 2014.

To restart the Patriots game, the team made a surprising move on Monday they fired an exchange for receiver Josh Gordon of Browns. Although you can argue that Gordon is currently the most talented member of the Patriots' reception group, Brady is not yet ready to get into the hype-train.

During an interview with Jim Gray on Westwood One Radio this week, a quarter of the Patriots said he wanted to train with Gordon before he put his hopes on his new teammate.

"You know, I hate doing projections and expectations. It's not fair, "Brady said Monday night, via NFL.com. I have never personally met Josh, just as I have not met some of the guys who have come these past few weeks. So let's see how it goes this week and hope that he can work hard, put the team first and end up helping us in all the roles that he can find. in the team. "

Brady had his first training with Gordon on Wednesday.

According to Brady, the next few days will be decisive, as it is not easy to develop a chemistry with a player who joins your team mid-season.

"Whenever you meet someone in the middle of the season, there are obviously a lot of things that have brought the team to a certain point of which it was not part," Brady said. "So, you know, I do not know how many of these things are important, but you'd like to try to update yourself as quickly as possible and it's really up to the individuals … you know all these things you need I will not project anything, I will just try to be the positive and enthusiastic leader that I am and try to be a great quarter and a good one. try to kiss anyone in the team. "

Another thing Brady will have to work on with Gordon is to develop trust. Brady says that he can usually trust any receiver in the field, which is good news for Gordon, mainly because he does not have the best record in the field. of confidence. When the Browns announced that they were going to separate from Gordon during the weekend, one of the reported the reasons were due to a lack of confidence.

"I still think that trust, whatever the receiver is out there, you tell them to run a certain route and they do it as you talked about it, the balloon is launched, it's caught, it's a positive game again, "said Brady." If it's a flip side and 50-50, sometimes it's just, sometimes it's wrong, I mean nobody can really rely on that. Coaches do not want to see that, players do not want to see that. You want to know that the guys next to whom they are aligned have understood, they have taken their responsibilities and it frees you to think about your responsibilities, but if you are worried about this guy. or this guy or this or that, you know, it just takes away what you need to focus on as an individual. "

Although Gordon fought a hamstring injury, he was on the field to train on Wednesday and he would be in good health to play Sunday against the Lions if the Patriots needed him. And yes, that means his business is official, even though Bill Belichick refuses to admit that trade is official.

"I'm not going to talk about players who I think are not really on our list, so when that happens, it happens, if it happens," Belichick said Wednesday. "There are conditions to be fulfilled before the trade is finalized, and when they are finished, we will have an exchange completed, and until they are completed, I will not go into it." The detail."

Basically, it seems that Gordon will probably play Sunday, unless the Patriots have not finalized his trade six days after the exchange for him.
