FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- In a training camp chat with Sirius XM NFL Radio, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady talked about his desire to lead an offense that was like the San Antonio Spurs of the NBA.

"You watch the Spurs this year in the championship, and whoever the ball got kicked out to was going to make the shot," Brady said at the time. "I think that’s what makes an offense. It’s not, 'Throw it to one guy and see if he can create something.' It’s pass, pass, pass, pass, pass until you get your best look and then, boom, that’s when the ball goes in. That’s what we want to be on offense."

Through two games, the Patriots aren't there yet. Not even close.

Brady clearly has a nice rapport going with receiver Julian Edelman, and he also hasn't been shy in feeding tight end Rob Gronkowski. But it's mostly been a struggle after that.

"I think that’s definitely a big part of what we’re trying to do offensively to make us hard to defend is to be able to throw the ball to everybody. And you’re right, those guys have seen a majority of throws, and I’ve got to do a better job finding the other guys because it’s a lot of good routes, they’re big targets, guys are working really hard to get open," Brady said Wednesday.

"So hopefully it shows up this week in our pass game. We’re going to work hard this week to see if we can all be on the same page more often."

Brady has targeted Gronkowski or Edelman on 42 percent of his throws this season, completing 61 percent of those passes. In his 45 targets of all other Patriots pass catchers, Brady has completed 53 percent of his passes.

The numbers are skewed, in part, because of game-plan considerations. For example, the Patriots ran 28 of their 67 offensive snaps against the Vikings with offensive tackle Cameron Fleming as an eligible receiver even though he was always staying in to block, so they essentially took away a capable pass catcher to beef up at the line of scrimmage and focus on the running game.

That also meant fewer three-receiver packages and less time for receiver Danny Amendola (19 snaps), who doesn't seem to have the same connection with Brady as Edelman does.

"I have a lot of trust in Danny," Brady insisted. "He battled through some injuries last year and has had a great spring, great training camp, and he’s been out there quite a bit. It’s my responsibility to get him the ball, and there were a few catches that got [called] back, a few big plays that would extend drives."

Whether it's Edelman, Kenbrell Thompkins, Aaron Dobson or Brandon LaFell, Brady knows the current results must improve.

"I don’t think our passing game has been really stellar to this point, so it’s hard to sustain much over the course of the game and get those guys the ball when we’re not doing as good a job as we’re capable of," he said, perhaps considering the club's 10-of-31 success rate on third down (28th in the NFL).

"We’ve got to keep going after it, and guys get more opportunities to get balls, and I need to do a better job finding those guys when they’re open and running the routes that we talk about all week. That’ll go a long way to help us win."
