Re: What does Teddy do well anymore?
While KC Joyner has put a lot of work into his "stats", they are far from being the be all end all.
Also, I doubt the veracity of your statement that you watch each play of every game numerous times.
In the 11 games that Rosie played in and Bruschi and Seau rotated, the Pats averaged 4.07 YPC against. In the 8 games AFTER Colvin went down, forcing Seau and Bruschi to play full time, the YPC jumped to 4.56.
How can you say its not a reflection of Rosie being out but Bruschi being on the field more when they are in DIRECT correlation to one another. In fact, you could also point the the fact that Thomas was now responsible for setting the edge on that side and he didn't do a very good job with it.
If I was as myopic as you, yes, I'd blame it all on Bruschi. Luckily, I'm not and I can see that it was a result of several moves. Not just ONE.
No I don't. But I do watch every play of every game a number of times. Look at KC Joyner's stats for the LB position. He takes into account a lot more data than just "tackles". Just look at our defensive YPC avg after Rosey went down. Teams started averaging nearly 5 yards/carry against us. I don't think that was as much a reflection of Rosey being out as it was TB being on the field more often.
