Tom Brady, Josh Gordon Share Mutual Admiration After Patriots’ Epic Win Vs. Dolphins

The visitors’ press conference room of Hard Rock Stadium was packed with love. The New England Patriots played really well against the Miami Dolphins. Players praised each other, and yes, it was nice seeing them share some love. Josh Gordon was left in the shadow of Antonio Brown. He was able to catch two passes for 19 yards and we can see him trying to improve after missing a big portion of training camp.

“He’s doing a great job,” quarterback Tom Brady said of Gordon. “We got him late last year into the season — Week 2 — and it’s a lot to pick up. It’s a hard offense to learn. You try to integrate a guy and whether it was Phillip (Dorsett) the year before or Josh or this year with Antonio, it’s a lot for those guys to learn. The more we’re together, like any team, the more comfortable we get.”

Gordon played with the help of different offensive coordinators since joining the NFL with the Cleveland Browns in 2012. He worked with Brad Childress, Norv Turner, Kyle Shanahan, Hue Jackson, and Todd Haley. Josh McDaniels works with him at the moment. If you ask Gordon, he will say the Patriots’ offense is one of a kind.

“There’s so many intricate details. It’s to the T. It’s just different. That’s the best way I could describe it,” Gordon said, “It’s just different. I can’t say it’s like something that I’ve seen before, because I’ve never seen it before, this type of offense.”
Gordon has never played with anyone like Tom Brady.
“Tom sees it all,” Gordon said. “Even if he throws it somewhere else, he’s like, ‘How was it back there?’ I was like, ‘It was all right.’ He’s like, ‘Yeah, I know. I saw you.’ He knows. Just have faith and trust in (offensive coordinator) Coach (Josh) McDaniels and him and (head) coach (Bill) Belichick. Our time will come. As long as we continue to work hard, we’ll get a chance to make a play.”

The NFL reinstated Gordon conditionally, and he is open to the media.

“I always love being with him and around him,” the quarterback said. “He’s a great teammate.”
