Please do not call my comment dumb and then come at me with a dumb comment. He does not need to disclose it, but it isn't like he was told not to as our other players had no problems answering the question. I am making my comment based on what the man himself said and not some wild theories about xyz.
As I said in another comment, there is no coincidence that Brooks plays the best when the gameplan is simple. The gameplan was simple due to the rain. They played the way that you are taught to play i.e., Run hard, tackle hard and hold the ball, I am sure he did not need to be listening to execute this gameplan. I also didn't say he doesn't listen to anything or anyone, but I do believe he would be mentally drifting in and out of conversations.
