Tom Brady wants offensive linemen to use NFL doubters as motivation

Tampa Bay Buccaneers v Indianapolis Colts

With injuries along the Buccaneers' offensive line that saw Ryan Jensen out, Ali Marpet retiring and Alex Cappa gone to the Bengals, many are doubting their ability to protect Tom Brady. But the 45-year-old quarterback has told his offensive line to use that as motivation for the new NFL season.

Brady appeared on SiriusXM's Let's Go! with Tom Brady, Larry Fitzgerald and Jim Gray and said that it always helps players when there are doubters out there.

Brady said via NFL.com:

"I've showed it to them and used it as motivation. Every time someone says they suck, and they can't do anything, I've tried to show it to them. And say, 'This is what they're all saying about you. What do you guys think? What are you going to do about it?'

"And make sure they know what everyone's saying. I think that's important. I think I've always used little different spites as motivation for me. And I'm a really motivated person. But it always helps when someone says something that's not flattering."

Jason Peters gives thoughts on Cowboys swagger

Everyone in football knows the Dallas Cowboys carry themselves a little differently than other NFL teams. The chest is out, the talk is real as they are the most recognizable sporting organization on the planet.

New signee Jason Peters likens the Cowboys' swagger to that of the Philadelphia Eagles.

Peters said via Patrik Walker of DallasCowboys.com:

"Man, I don't really call it arrogance. I mean, they had swagger -- pretty much the same thing. The swagger, they'll go in week in and week out with that swagger, you can tell how the defense plays. Dak (Prescott) and (Ezekiel Elliott), scoring and everybody [wearing] their emotions on their shoulders. I mean, I like that to be honest."
