Opposing Offensive Coordinator: Tom Brady Looks Frustrated

Tom Brady has not been the same old Brady with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Some might say he's just an old Brady.

But it's an entirely new situation, with a new coach in Bruce Arians. So Brady and the Buccaneers may be figuring things out, and challenges are to be expected.

That seems to be what the 43-year old QB may be experiencing today.

"He looks frustrated,” Mike Sando of The Athletic quoted an opposing offensive coordinator as saying. “I think they are having a tough time meshing what Brady wants to do and what Bruce has always done.

"Brady doesn’t always have good outlets, and Bruce might not be giving him good outlets, because he wants to throw it up the field. It will be interesting how that plays out.”

This isn't an awful relationship by any stretch. The Buccaneers are 6-3 and still in the NFC South race headed into Sunday's game at Carolina. Most assume they'll be at their best when it means the most.

Now, though, it's clear they still have some wrinkles to iron out. And not just because Brady may have a few more wrinkles on his skin.
