But one thing I have always liked about Weis is continued belief in balance.
Even when the Pats couldn't run the ball effectively, he still maintained a balance between the pass and run so that defenses didn't simply get after the QB.
That was a huge benefit to Brady and his development into the QB he is today.

I disagree. IMO the most overlooked part of New England's decade-long run has been the O-line. They've never had huge-name players (biggest so far was Matt Light and he's just solid, not spectacular) and yet they've kept Brady's uni fairly clean for most of his career, with notable exceptions (like that ****ing Game That Shall Not Be Named to end the perfect season). After that I'd have to credit the players Belichick likes to pick up, because he always makes sure guys can pass-block if the D is coming on a blitz. I don'r give Weis a lot of credit for any of that.
