In the same role as an every down ILB? No.

In a reduced role? Absolutely.

Of course ... why not...MLB of an 18-1 team with a top 5 defense.

Exactly. I voted for the third option because this one wasn't there.

This is like an ESPN poll ... every choice has a little negativity built in.
How about ... Yes ... without reservation.

This "because he is an emotional leader" disrespects his ability as a player
of his position. He is much more than just an "emotional leader".

Your poll is tainted

I honestly can't remember him making a single big play this year. That said, I think he should be back if he wants to be back, but he should not be counted on to start every down.

this notion of "linebacker by committee of aging vet" has got to go. you need guys that can play every down. and the guys that occasionally spell them should be young aggressive guys with fresh legs that come at a much lower salary.

reality is teddy should do the right thing and retire voluntarily. that would be the "team player" thing to do.

Bruschi can do as he wishes. He is a FREE agent.

Accept that great play during the AFCCG when he reached in front a SD receiver and forced them to punt. That was a great play.
