The Bucs beat the Seattle Seahawks 21-16 in Munich in the NFL’s first international fixture in Germany. In the previous week, Tom Brady led the last-minute winning drive against the LA Rams. Brady can do anything, it seems. Well, not everything, according to his teammates.
Tom Brady is 45 and his teammates know that
Tampa Tom has never let age slow him down with his last Super Bowl coming at 43. However, Tampa Bay Buccaneers teammates, Donovan Smith and Tristan Wirfs appeared on a Roster Reshuffle segment on the Buccaneers YouTube channel and discussed where they would like to see seven-time Super Bowl champion Brady play besides quarterback. Tristan suggested “swing tackle” and both offensive tackles burst out laughing.

Swing tackles are defensive linemen positions designed as a backup for the left and right tackles. The Super Bowl-winning OT duo kept Brady’s age in mind when they said that Tom “would have to be a tackle. It’s physical, but like he can stay safe out there.”
RB Leonard Fournette was the center of the reshuffle and the WRs became the tackles, while offensive tackle Josh Wells took Tom Brady‘s place as the quarterback. Donovan went for a wide receiver role while Tristan settled for the tight end.

TB12 also tried out the WR position recently
TB12 crossed the 100,000 passing yards milestone against Aaron Donald‘s LA Rams. Brady also drove the offense for a win for the 69th time in his career. Against the Seahawks, Tom Brady had 2 touchdowns over 258 yards of passing and connected with WRs Chris Godwin and Julio Jones. However, the highlight of the Munich matchup was definitely Tom Brady’s trick play wide receiver run to catch the ball from a Leonard Fournette throw.

Unfortunately, the real-life reshuffle didn’t go too well for the Bucs and Fournette. Seattle cornerback Tariq Woolen intercepted the pass before Brady slipped and crashed, leading to a Top 10 NFL blooper. Maybe the swing tackle position will suit him better than the receiver. However, for now, Brady has to quarterback the 5-5 Buccaneers to the playoff and the Super Bowl. Brady has 2805 yards this season with 12 TDs and only 2 interceptions. The Bucs enjoy their bye week and face the 3-6 Cleveland Browns next.
