Tom Brady is scared of Freeney

He freaking well should be

It was toward the end of a wandering interview on Boston radio station WEEI last week that the question was posed: “Who is the most intimidating player you face?”

“Dwight Freeney,” New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady replied. “Every play with him is a game-changing play.

“Every time you throw the ball, (Freeney is) a factor. As a quarterback, you probably have anywhere from a second and a half to sometimes four seconds to make your decision and throw the ball.

“With Freeney, it’s probably consistently around two seconds with sometimes being from the time the ball is snapped, a second and a half, you’ve got to throw that ball. There’s no time for decision-making.

“You’re making your decision before the ball is snapped based on the coverage.”
