stuckincincy Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 What a joke...6 tackles, no picks, no fum recoveries etc. Any LB that plays a whole game often gets six for just standing there...
ganesh Posted November 2, 2005 Author Posted November 2, 2005 What a joke...6 tackles, no picks, no fum recoveries etc. Any LB that plays a whole game often gets six for just standing there... 494029[/snapback] I though official stats had his as 2Tackles and 4 assisted tackles...Don't know where this article got the 10 tackles from..... If at all they wanted to give it to a Patriot, it should have been Colvin Roosvelt...The guy made a game changing play that won the game for his team....

MadBuffaloDisease Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 Yeah, Bruschi (We're not worthy!) had 2 solo and 5 assisted tackles! What an AMAZING performance!
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 I thought he deserved the award. Yeah, he had only 6 tackles, but I think he also had 3-4 "near-tackles" and he would often end the play by being the fourth defender to dive on the pile. That's invaluable.
Rayzer32 Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 Give the guy some credit where credit is due. Didn't ESBN report that he had some 300 hits! That's good enough for me.
drnykterstein Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 I might stop watching the NFL. Between the advertisements, the lying and everything else. I could spend my sundays making a ship in a bottle or something. It would be much more productive.
stuckincincy Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 Here were Tedy's "competitors" for the honor. "Other nominees for AFC Defensive Player of Week 8 were: * Denver linebacker Ian Gold, who racked-up eight tackles and a pair of passes defensed. * Pittsburgh safety Chris Hope, who recorded nine tackles and his team-high third interception of the season. * San Diego rookie linebacker Shawne Merriman, who notched 2.0 sacks and forced a fumble. Merriman is the first Chargers rookie to chalk-up 2.0 sacks since Chris Mims in 1992. * Cincinnati cornerback Deltha O'Neal, who had two interceptions and a third pass defensed that was intercepted by teammate Odell Thurman, and added three tackles in a 21-14 home victory against Green Bay. * Pittsburgh safety Troy Polamalu, who had a team-high 10 tackles. * Oakland defensive tackle Warren Sapp, who registered 2.5 sacks, six tackles and a forced fumble from his position in the trenches. Sapp's forced fumble was recovered in the Titans' endzone for a TD by teammate Jarrod Cooper. * Buffalo defensive end Aaron Scobel, who recorded 2.0 sacks for his 10th career multi-sack game. * Pittsburgh cornerback Ike Taylor, who had nine tackles, an interception, a pass defensed and a fumble recovery. * Kansas City safety Greg Wesley, who compiled seven tackles and one interception." http://www.nfl.com/news/story/9019023

dave mcbride Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 he must have gotten it for turning the other cheek so much on sunday night: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/9019023
bluv Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 AFC Defensive Player of the Week? Is this a f@#$% joke? I understand he has came back from a stroke but they kiss this guy's @$$ all Sunday night while McGahee runs over and thru him and the Pats; his team mate, Vrabel had 11 tackles and a sack. Our DE Schobel had 2 sacks and a forced fumble. I mean come on I want to see the guy play well but you can't just give him top awards just for effort. They might give him NFL defensive player of the year for just playing in the next 9 games!
SnakeOiler Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 You obviously forgot the most important point from that NFL press release on Tedy: "The 32-year-old linebacker raised his arms early in the game to energize the Patriots' “12th Man” and called signals in the huddle" Sorry, but I didn't see any other players raising their arms last week.
SnakeOiler Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 The NFL's own stats on Tedy shows he only had 2 solo and 5 assisted tackles, everyone is right. 10 Tackles?? What a joke. http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/3189
