So the surprises -- Beadles not starting, Daniels will be, kind of strange but Daniels did look good run blocking when he was in there.
Quinn still being the #2 QB. R Quinn getting moved to the #3 TE spot behind Gronkowski. I didn't see the TE switch happening, only because I thought R Quinn had performed to be expected in the Vikings game. Perhaps with his injury they want to give him a little more time? I also thought that B Quinn would be #3 behind Tebow. Jason Hunter also takes over the #1 spot from Moss. This actually provides me with some relief.
