White marveled at Brady’s uncanny ability to manipulate the cadence, creating confusion for opposing defenses and displaying his unmatched football IQ.
White recalled how Brady could effortlessly switch up the cadence, leaving the defense guessing and ultimately gaining an advantage for his team. He said,
“I could easily switch up the Cadence, no matter what… we all on the same page… him just being able to switch up the Cadence and he’ll get the defense, like, you know, the safety is going to blow it up, so far, but him switching up the potatoes, he’ll see this, so he just switches protection. I mean I ain’t seen the quarterback do that.”
The young running back was astonished by Brady’s astute understanding of the game, noting that no other quarterback in the league possessed such foresight. He marveled at how Brady knew what was going to happen before it occurred, making him a step ahead of the defense.
He further elaborated on Brady’s ability to adjust and communicate with his teammates on the field, saying, “He’d be like, ‘Hey, easy, easy… Actually, we’re gonna mic out to here, like we’re gonna switch protection… They gonna send the cat, so ready,’ just things like that.”
According to White, even if Brady changed the cadence, opposing defenses were unable to decipher his intentions due to his pre-snap reads and quick decision-making.
