Patriots quarterback Tom Brady addresses the media during his postgame press conference at Wembley Stadium in London on October 25, 2009.
TB: Trying to make the right play and it happens. Happy the way we responded in the second half. We came out, put a touchdown on the board early. Had a great drive there on the end. So I'm not disappointed at all.
Q: (Question off microphone.)
TB: He's all right. He's all right. I'll tell you, he needs to leave if I'm going to anyway, he's a great player. He does everything right out there. He's always in the right spot. He gets open versus any coverage on any route. He and Randy and the way Aik played today, they all stepped up and made some great plays. So we needed it.
Q: (Question off microphone.)
TB: Well, hopefully they enjoyed it. There were some good plays out there by us. It wasn't as close a game as they've had in some of the past years, but happy we came out with the win. We came over here hoping to get a victory, and we did that. So it's nice going into a bye with a couple of victories under our belt, and it will be a fun flight home tomorrow.
Q: (Question off microphone.)
TB: I'm all for it. I'm all for it. If we can guarantee in that bye in week eight, I'd love that, too. So it was a fun experience for all of us, to think we all took something different out of it. You don't get this opportunity too often, and I think all the guys really enjoyed it.
Q: (Question off microphone.)
TB: Yeah. Yeah, all the flashbulbs were going out there before kickoff and everybody seemed excited. The went on for about 10 minutes, which you don't see that in the States too often. They seemed excited for the fans here. I think it's a privilege for the players to come over here and get to enjoy this type of experience. So, like I said, it probably will never happen again for us, so we'll retire 1 0 internationally.
Q: (Question off microphone.)
TB: He did good. It's pretty tough to do without practicing at all for all through training camp, the first six weeks of the year, and come out there, return kicks like he did. He had a nice play on a reverse. Every week he's going to get better. We need depth at that position and he's going to be called upon as a contributor even though he's a rookie. So he's got to keep making improvements.
Q: (Question off microphone.)
TB: I'm feeling great. I keep rolling. Two wins in a row, and we'll take time to kind of do some self scout and reflect on what we've done, what's been successful, what hasn't. Certainly a lot of good things to take from being 5 2. We played two poor halves of football there against the Jets or Broncos. Those outcomes may have been bit different. That's why today was exciting. We went out there and put two touchdowns on the board there in the second half. That's what we need to do. We've got some pretty tough games coming up, but that was a good one to get today.
Q: (Question off microphone.)
TB: I'd love to go out there and play my best every time out for my teammates, for my coaches and the fans certainly. But I think what we did today was it was good enough. And we had a goal coming over here and there was certainly plenty of distractions for us, but to get the win and then to fly home and have a little bit of time off, I think we'll all reflect on the last seven weeks and hopefully move forward with better preparation, better concentration, and go out there and be able to perform better in the last nine weeks of the year.
Q: (Question off microphone.)
TB: I think we handled it great. We came over here on a Thursday. We took the late flight on Thursday. Got here Friday morning. Had a couple of days to adjust. I think everybody was really energized before the game. So I think that part was really good. Everyone seemed like the concentration was good. We had a practice on Friday, which was good. So I think the preparation was great. I felt great today. I felt well rested and ready to go out there and perform like we did.
Q: (Question off microphone.)
TB: Well, I think that we don't as football players often get to spend as much time together as we had all day Thursday, all day Friday, all day Saturday, all day Sunday, pretty much all day Monday. So most of the time you leave on a Saturday morning. You're together on a Saturday night. You play Sunday in your home. So I think we all went out to dinner on Friday night, which you don't get a chance to do too often, spending ten meals together and all sitting on the plane together. We had a great flight over. I think just that experience for all of us and getting to know each other will serve us well down the road. A lot of new players, and it's nice to come together and experience something like this. It's a unique bonding experience for all of us.
Q: (Question off microphone.)
TB: We'll see. I'm sure if Wes is available charge, he'll be the first one leading the charge. So are we going out? He's available. He's certainly available.
