Belichick consults Charlie Weis

Bill Belichick recently contacted Charlie Weis to get his advice on how to reignite the Patriots offense.

Once viewed as an explosive unit, the offense has sputtered, scoring only 21 points in their win over the Chargers last Sunday.  Earlier in the season they'd sometimes score 21 in a quarter.

"Charlie is an offensive genius," Belichick explained.  "He's continued his wizardry at Notre Dame.  I started consulting him just before the Ravens game."

Weis left the Patriots organization after the 2005 season.  Last year he led the Notre Dame Fighting Irish to a 3-9 season.  Notre Dame averaged 16.4 points per game.
