I think Tom was specifically talking about qb play and making some extrapolations from that. he’s been talking about disliking changes (defenseless receiver, lifting of number regulations, etc) for years.
The game is changing. I’d like less ticky tack penalty but other wise I’m good. The people complaining about the game going “soft” are irritating.
I disagree. Brady has made "game has gone soft" comments before, but I think these are literally about mediocrity. I think he sees it all connected. When hes says players don't work on the fundamentals of protecting themselves anymore, hes implying there other fundamentals they also arent working on.
This is the 4th straight year scoring has gone down, and game threads here are filled with comments about shitty play. This a different complaint than "game gone soft."
Players definitely don't try and protect themselves. Look how Tua just fell over like a limp toddler several times in a row and now he probably can't remember his middle.name anymore.
