Rumors of a Tedy Bruschi return in week 8?

... for the Colts game. He would be coming off the PUP. Apparently, Bob Kraft let it slip in an interview on NECN. When asked about missing Bruschi, Kraft said "he will be out the first 7 games.".

as much as I hate the Pats and their players it really sucks what happened to him.

though I hate when he plays us, I'd love to see him back on the field and make a full recovery.

When he sees how the Bills are doing, he'll decide to sit out the year

I think he's foolish to come back. He has millions and two little ones to think about. I understand his love for the game, but cripe, he should be a coach or something.

I think the same, but if we are going to kick their @$$, they better be a complete team, otherwise the patsies fan could start to argue about it.

If he can come back at no further risk I say go for it...He is a great player and a great leader for the Patriots. If/when we beat the Patriots I rather have there best 11 on the field...

I don't think it's a wise move for Teddy to come back this season, he can sit back and watch us win our 4th superbowl in five years and provide moral support and help be a coach on the sidelines.

I agree. Great post!

I can't see putting the man's health at risk to be a "complete" team. If they're so ***** great, they'll win without him.

Thing is, I actually believe they are physically a better starting defense without him. They will miss his experience - no question - but if Colvin returns to top form, he'll be an improvement over Bruschi. Plus, they have a couple of young studs just waiting to prove themselves. As far as track records go, NE's young guys have been turning out to be very good. Of course, you could always make the depth argument, to which I'd offer no counter.

All that said, may every ball bounce in the wrong direction for New England.

I don't know about physically, but what was undeniable was Tedy's penchant for making big plays in big games. The guy has a knack for coming up big when they needed him.

I don't know if you can quantify that.

The two little ones mean something. However, he signed a very mediocre contract as his own agent. I don't think he has millions after just finishing his first year at 2 million a year. I'm sure he needs to play for the money.

you can't...without him I firmly believe you don't even get to the superbowl last season. I love the game and seeing TB play is one of the main reasons I watch the sport so dilligently. The guy refused to lose. Remember when the gints were going to get stopped in the NFC championship game and LT just plain said no way and took the ball away from them? That is the type of player TB is...and his being active makes the league that much better. Even though I hate to see him on the Pats (only because they are in our division) and don't want him to risk his health...I welcome him back onto the field because I AM a true fan of the sport.

I don't think its a wise move if he comes back this season. It's probably BS
