Tom Brady's pregame speech about 'honor' was more effective than Bruce Arians' speech

[Bruce Arians] gave a speech, but it wasn't the speech we needed. ... The speech we needed to hear was from Tom Brady. And his speech was about honor. ... When Tom said we're playing for honor and for the last names on our back, I think that kind of hit different for us.

This is a first-hand subjective account of the locker room atmosphere.

Tom Brady text the entire team every morning at 5:30 AM before the Super Bowl saying we will win

He was just telling us, we will win this game. You know, our hard work we're doing throughout the week, you know, he made sure that, you know, just like we all did. It'd be 5:30 of the morning before. I guess he's the first person up. You know, he leads by example.

Multiple Buccaneers players confirmed receiving these motivational texts from Brady throughout the 2020 playoffs.

I want to stay with the Buccaneers if we can keep the team together

I would love to rejoin, you know, but things happen. If it doesn't work out, it happens. So just stay and pray it up and I'm going to let my agents and them deal with that. I think this team, we could do something special if we stay together again.

Playoffs are where sports legends are made

In the beginning of the playoffs, I say playoffs where ledgers [legends] are made. You know what I mean? So I've been in a situation before in Jacksonville where you can earn a great reputation in the playoffs.

Subjective sporting philosophy.

The Patriots cheated the Jaguars in the 2017 AFC Championship game

I'm like, Tom, you a fucking cheater. You a cheater... I said, I know what happened. Y'all cheated us.

While 'cheating' is a strong word, the Miles Jack play is widely considered a blown call by officials that cost the Jaguars the game.

Christian McCaffrey is as good as the hype suggested in college

I never seen Christian play a day in my life, right? So I seen him play in the Rose Bowl. I said, you know what? He's nice. He's nice, nice. I thought it was hyping him up, but he has catch, he's fast, he can block. He does it all.

McCaffrey's career as an All-Pro and Offensive Player of the Year confirms he lived up to and exceeded the hype.
