That was Pepper Johnson (I believe).

I thought it might be but wondered whether he was already coaching then.

In any case, I think he graduated from the Bill Belichick/Robert Kraft Dance Academy.

i don't think they'll retire those numbers. Perullo, Casale, and Hart feel that they need to be in Canton, Ohio (hall of fame) to get their number retired by the team. I even recall Mcginest's number, the year he left, being given to Seau. He's a player you'd put in the likes of Troy and Tedy. and even his name wasn't retired

1. I'm in the camp that says the wrist made a huge difference.
2. Tedy actually waas a great, All-Pro-candidate player for only a stretch of a few years total.
3. Some of his greatness came from surprising people with takeaways. He'll never get that entirely back, through no fault of his; the whole football world is on to him now.
4. Even at his best -- or when otherwise at his best but slightly nicked up -- he could get blown up on some plays. If you DO get a well-placed hat on him, he's yours. It's just that getting it is so hard ...

I think he'll play a strong majority of the snaps in non-nickel sets, plus his usual ST duties, and play well.

As for number retirements -- they can get a twofer in Stanley Morgan/Troy Brown. Even so, I don't think they'll retire #80.

#12, on the other hand, ...

Steamer was #86, which Troy only wore for one year, I believe...

I differ with many estimates here. Teddy's game was/is instincts, quickness and slipping blocks, blitzing and INTs.

You can't slip blocks or make INTs when you are playing one handed and playing with a club for the other; alongside a newcomer and moving positions to make the newcomer more comfortable.
