Tedy: Here's one thing I'd say on that -- if the trainers tell Coach Belichick that a player is ready to go, he's going to play. You only play 16 games and Bill obviously wants to win every single one of them. I came back from a stroke and Bill played me 70-plus plays and I was starting on the punt team. If you're ready to go, you'll play. You don't save players for down the road because if you go down and lose to Miami like you did last year, Denver may have a game up on you for home-field advantage. Basically, I think that's what it is going to come down to again this year.
