Chris Price, of WEEI.com, reports Tom Martinez, the passing guru for New England Patriots QB Tom Brady (knee), said Brady likely will struggle during the early portion of his comeback because his mechanics will be affected by his knee but he has the mental toughness to fully recover from the injury. "Do I anticipate Brady having trouble? Yes. Will he correct it? Yes. I think if he was concerned and it showed early, I wouldn't panic. The same thing happened with [Indianapolis Colts QB Peyton Manning]. He was holding back early last year, not attacking the throw and leaving a little off it.
