Former New England Patriots linebacker Tedy Bruschi warned Tampa Bay Buccaneers players not to become overdependent on Tom Brady, his former teammate with the Pats.

Bruschi told ESPN's Jenna Laine in an interview released Saturday he coined the term "Brady-watching" to describe a team leaning too heavily on its quarterback to save them in tough situations.

"They need to get over Brady-watching. Because they get to the sideline and all of a sudden it's like, 'It's OK, Tom will bail us out.' That's what I call Brady-watching," Bruschi said.
