He was pushed into obligation in 2008 when Tom Brady ran down with a season-finishing harm in Week 1.

He made headlines during the week for commenting on Brady’s supermodel wife, Gisele Bundchen, after being suspended because the National Football League believed he roughed up his former girlfriend previous year.
The Patriots are back on the field on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys, so let’s talk about who you are rooting for.
And now Weeden’s status as the starter is uncertain following a 30-6 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.
Once again, quarterback Brandon Weeden will be under center for Dallas. Brady wasn’t sacked in the second half, but he credited the Cowboys defensive front and its speed.
Likely not participating in the practice: Receiver Brice Butler (hamstring), tight end James Hanna (ankle), defensive end Randy Gregory (ankle) and receiver Dez Bryant (foot), whose rehab is upped and now includes the use of an oxygen-deprivation mask and anti-gravity/low-impact movement on a treadmill.
Brady worked around five sacks – all in the first half – to pass for 275 yards (20 of 27) with two scores and no interceptions.
NOLAN: That guy, facing the media for the first time, said he’d like to come out “guns blazing”.

It wasn’t as easy as his boisterous fans made it sound.
Hardy and linebacker Rolando McClain were fresh off their respective four-game suspensions when they suited up for practice Wednesday.
“There were still a lot of people who were tailgating after the game”, he said. I would expect Beasley to play a bigger role as the Cowboys are driving but Williams should see more work towards the end zone.
The 4-0 Patriots don’t have many flaws on offense right now, scoring 149 points this season, a franchise record through four games. The Cowboys lost their third in a row without Romo and Bryant, both sidelined by injuries. He sat out the first four games after sucker punching quarter back Geno Smith when he was on the Jets.
Weeden passed for only 188 yards, completing 26 of 39 with one interception.
“That’s not how we want to operate as an organization”, Garrett said of Hardy and his statements about the Patriots quarterback earlier this week. It wasn’t easy early.
The 38-year-old hasn’t been fired more compared to 5 times among the standard spell ever since Buffalo had 7 in 2001, the entire year he became the nice and finished the initial of four Super Bowls.
Hardy signed a one-year deal with the Cowboys prior to the 2015 season and has yet to play due to a suspension for a domestic violence incident with his ex-girlfriend.
If you’ve seen her rant flying around the Internet, there’s a reason: It’s just that well done. McClain was out because of a substance abuse violation. The player and coaches in our organization understand that, and we want to distinguish ourselves with our play, not with what we say. “They add ’em to the mix and they’ve got a defense”. Hardy deserved a few seriously hefty criticism for the fact that he showed no remorse for his actions, recognition that he’d done anything wrong, or respect for women. Running back Dion Lewis capped the march with a 10-yard catch on a Brady pass.
Brady’s sneak to put New England ahead for good in the second quarter was his first rushing TD since December. 16, 2012, when he had the last of his career-high four that season. “He’s pretty tough. I don’t think anyone underrates his toughness”. There’s nothing magic about halftime. “I don’t think we practiced much of what they were doing”.
