Indianapolis Colts’ Darius Leonard Reveals the Reason He Won’t ‘Talk Sh*t’ to Tom Brady

A few days ago, the Indianapolis Colts lost 38-31 to the Tom Brady led Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The match was a very cagey affair and required some special individual efforts for the Bucs to pull off the win. As entertaining was the match, the Behind the scenes released on the third episode of “Hard Knocks” was even more entertaining, as it had some interesting revelations.

Colts LB Darius Leonard Reveals He Has “Too Much Respect For” Tom Brady To Talk Trash To Him

In the third episode of Hard Knocks In Season: The Indianapolis Colts, the Colts players can be seen preparing for their clash against Tom Brady’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Colts LB Darius Leonard, famous for his aggressive play making, was the highlight of the episode. The linebacker forces fumbles with an accurate punch at the ball.

When asked by a teammate if he would continue doing the same against Brady, the LB shrugs the idea and says he has too much respect for the G.O.A.T. “I got the punch-out, right?” Leonard explained to a teammate. “So, you know how I always go celebrate. He’s right here, you know how I talk s—. I said, ain’t gonna do it, I got too much respect for him. I ain’t gonna do it.”

Colts defensive line coach Brian Baker shares his gameplay to stop the GOAT

The other highlight of the latest episode was the Colts‘ strategy in containing the Tampa Bay QB. Colts defensive line coach Brian Baker yelled out instructions and his aim was simple – to put as much pressure on the GOAT as possible.

“What’s the most important thing? Hit this guy!” Baker declared to his unit while watching tape of Brady. “Make him get up to see completions. Hit this guy — hit this guy! Pressure in his face first, collapse on the sides. Make him throw out of a coffin — make him think he’s back in his hyperbaric chamber thing that he sleeps in.”
