It doesn’t seem like Bucs head coach Bruce Arians is going to shy away from criticizing Tom Brady in public.
In his first game with Tampa Bay Brady had a rough outing that included two pretty bad interceptions in the team’s loss against the Saints.

While speaking to the media after the game, Arians put the blame on Brady for both interceptions. According to Arians, the first interception was a miscommunication and the second interception was a “bad decision” by Brady.

On Monday morning, Arians once called out Brady for looking unprepared during the game.
#Bucs coach Bruce Arians on Tom Brady: "He looked like Tom Brady in practice all the time so it’s kind of unusual to see that in a ballgame because they didn’t do things that we didn’t get ready for. Everything they did we thought we were ready for.''

#Bucs coach Bruce Arians on Tom Brady needing to bounce back vs. Carolina. “He’s had it before. I mean, he knows how to bounce back. He knew he didn’t play very well. It’s not what he expects from himself nor to we expect…

It seems like a pretty bold strategy for Arians to call out his Hall of Fame quarterback in public like this.
Ruh roh…. BA clearly not worried about being critical of the goat. https://t.co/JK13NuqcLg

Lol, Brady isn’t used to having a coach throw him under the bus. He is used to being protected.
Someone get him some cream for these burns. 😂 https://t.co/MJRmDJrxSq

By Week 4, Brady gonna be like Shane Falco throwing a line drive directly off a defender’s face, but with his head coach. https://t.co/aMLsP2BBH8
