Tom Brady had been on the New England Patriots so long that he was there when Anthony Weaver was a defensive lineman for the Baltimore Ravens (2002-05) and Houston Texans (2006-08). Brady was an institution under center for the AFC East club.
For Weaver, who is now the Texans’ defensive coordinator, it is a big adjustment to make in not seeing No. 12 on Patriots game film.
“It’s very weird,” Weaver said. “Obviously, they’re a completely different outfit then what they’ve been in the past.”
The Patriots signed former Carolina Panthers franchise quarterback Cam Newton to replace Brady.
