Tom Brady had a little flashback on Friday.
Tampa Bay Quarterback Buccaneers and his new team were put to the test for a scrum at Raymond James Stadium. Obviously, it was a consultation for the Bucs, as the normal season is fast approaching and the progression procedure is very different this year amid the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on preseason.
Friday’s scrum was meant to reflect all facets of the game, adding a score outside the city, and the Bucs felt the desire to play a simulated crowd noise.
After the scrum, Brady still couldn’t adjust an old rival talking about the sound of sound.
“I think it’s one of the old Colts bands when they used to pump all that sound to the RCA Dome,” Brady said in a video call with reporters, referring to patriot games in Indianapolis. “I tell (to field marshals coach Clyde Christensen) that he had to get this one out of his basement to practice.
(Chistensen, by the way, spent more than a decade with the Colts).
Crowd noise is an attractive side of the 2020 NFL season. In the absence of enthusiasts in the stands, at least to start the season, the noise of the crowd will be the norm. However, there is a big difference between synthetic noise and real sounds coming from an enthusiastic stadium.
“We had a great time. Once again, you have to get used to it. In fact, it poses challenges,” Brady said. “If that’s how it happens to be strong, it becomes complicated for everyone. Communication is complicated and you have no truce. You yell at other people all day on the bench, which is very exclusive to a game because it’s regularly going up and down. With this noise of the crowd pumped, it doesn’t go up and – just s. You’re passing to have to get used to it. I’m passing by to have to be inspired in my early days. “
Then Brady, cautiously, presented a quick clarification.
“It’s a joke for everyone, I just need to be clear.”
Tampa Bay begins its season in the noisy Mercedes-Benz Superdome on September 13 in a must-see NFC South game against Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints.
