"Tedy Bruschi has just returned from the parking lot where he saved a litter of puppies from certain death in a fire, just in time to volunteer to donate a kidney, (just as soon as practice is over.)"
I believe Tedy was playing heavier than his listed weight when they had him playing TJ's old role last season. It looks like Adalius gets that gig with Junior backing him up, so Tedy can slide back to his old shake & bake role. BB intended to limit Willie's play his last season, but Willie was on a roll so he played - I think it was Reiss who wrote that Adalius was going to allow Vrabes and Tedy to step up their play, I'm thinking that will indeed be the case.
