Buccaneers' Robert Hainsey - 'Love' that Tom Brady chewed out O-line

TAMPA, Fla. — Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady was shown on TV directing an expletive-laden tirade at his offensive line in last Sunday's 20-18 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, but center Robert Hainsey said Wednesday that it's what we wants, and it's what their unit wants.
