Charlie Weis has just released a book with Vic Carucci called “No Excuses” and in it he talks a lot about his time with Bill Parcells and Bill Belichick and what he learned from them. One interesting story Charlie tells is that as a low level assistant with the Giants, BB asked if anyone had any suggestions for the defensive game plan for that week. So Charlie mentioned an idea he’d seen someone use against the run and BB put it into that week’s game plan. The Giants won and successfully shut down the other team’s running game. At the press conference afterward, the media asked BB how he came up with such a great game plan. BB said, “I didn’t. It was my idea, it was his” and pointed at Charlie. Charlie was impressed that not only had BB listened to the idea of a low level assistant but he refused to take the credit.

He also says that he and BB agreed that Tommy was ready to be a starter at the beginning of the 2001 season. And when Drew was ready to come back, they both agreed, that they should stick with Tommy.

The name of his book should have been: "Obese and Overrated: The Charlie "Tummy Tuck" Weis Story".

Weis should thank God for the arrival of Tom Brady. Brady made this guy look good, not vice versa.

I find it interesting how Brady isnt makin our wonderful OC look amazing now. Charlie called the plays that fit this teams personnel. Anyone who cant see that is blind. So, I guess I shouldnt even be typing this. You need braille dont you?
Have someone read it out to you, it'll make more sense. Actually, have someone else who can actually SEE watch this Pats O during the Charlie era and have them tell you what they see. I saw an Offense gettin **** done with a much lower level of talent.
Hmmm, guess it was just Tommy. Come to think of it. We should all credit Seymour and Bruschi for making BB look like such a genius!!

Charlie's helping Brady Quinn look pretty good.

That's rather "stout" of you to make fun of someone's physical makeup or condition. You should superstititously be wary now of something happening to you.
