Here are some quotes from Tom Brady after tonight's game:

On whether he wanted to take a hit
I was just going to hold the ball in the pocket and cuddle up with the ball. Finally on the quarterback sneak I said, 'I wish somebody would just come and blast me.' You get a little of that anxiousness out of the way. I'll have to wait until next week. The offensive line did a great job, so they are the ones that should be thanked.

On whether he is glad the first preseason game is behind him
I think it's a real small step for this whole team on a very long journey. We're on a mission this year and this is the first step and it's a small step, but it's a step in the right direction. I think, defensively, we did some great things, and offensively, scoring points is what we have to do and we did that at times. I think in the second half we didn't play as well offensively. We had some short-yard situations we could have done a better job on. Philly is a great team; a playoff team. They went to the NFC Championship last year and they are one of the best teams we have played in the past 10 years. They are very well-coached and they execute very well. It was a good first test for us."

On being excited to be back on the field
There's no place I would rather be, so that about sums it up. This is a place where I probably have the most fun and enjoy the most. A preseason game doesn't have quite the feel of a regular season game, but to still be out there on the field with my teammates and celebrating after a win, the bus ride home, the bus ride to the airport and the flight home; those are the things you probably enjoy the most.
