Josh McDaniels has ideal response as to whether Tom Brady helped Seahawks

Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels worked in New England for each of the six Super Bowls that Tom Brady won there.

Josh McDaniels, the Patriots' offensive coordinator, had a measured response when asked if Tom Brady helped the Seahawks during an appearance on WEEI in Boston. McDaniels, who worked for New England in each of the six Super Bowls Brady won there, declared that he had no idea whether Brady assisted Seattle. He reiterated his stance when asked if the possibility would bother him, saying, "I wouldn’t have a dog in that fight."

This response, which turned Brady's flippant remark about his neutrality back on him, was considered ideal by observers. The comment has made McDaniels' return to Foxborough, where he is set to call the Week 9 game between the Packers and the Patriots, even more intriguing. While most fans are expected to welcome his return, the situation has left many feeling betrayed by Brady's choice not to publicly support the Patriots, and to potentially have privately aided the Seahawks in their victory.

The controversy has clearly not been forgotten, as it was raised in separate Friday interviews with McDaniels and linebacker Robert Spillane.
