The six-time Super Bowl champion will need a while to settle into a new system in Tampa. But time is not exactly on his side
It is impossible to microwave a championship in the NFL. Too much goes into it. It’s why many an off-season “winner” has blown apart in spectacular fashion: The Dream Team Eagles, the tanktastic Browns, countless editions of the Jets.
Flash-frying a title-worthy team is extra difficult this season, as the Tom Brady led Tampa Bay Buccaneers showed on Sunday. The reshaped Bucs were off the pace against the New Orleans Saints, beset by individual errors, sloppy penalties, a turnstile at left tackle, and a lack of speed.
