Pioli would be trying not to compete if he doesn't sign a big name?

The definition of "big name." No one is expecting Pioli to go out and sign a Albert Haynesworth type circa 2009. But there are a lot of guys out there that can help this team, that I don't consider Tier A FA's. Steve Breaston Ryan Harris Chris Hoke Michael Bush (potentially) Etc. To pass on guys like this in favor of slugs like Urban, Long, Engram, Toomer, etc would be pretty ****ing stupid considering this roster still has a lot of the same holes it had 3 years ago. |

FTR, I agree. Not a fan of Franklin. IMO, we need a couple of Lilja-like signings. Tier B guys that are going to make an impact. Ignoring your gaping holes, or trying to fill them with trash isn't going to cut it if this team expects to improve. |

That would be against the blueprint anyway.

A fresh rotation of Edwards, Powe and Shaun Smith isn't THAT bad. I don't feel like spending huge dollars on a NT is worth it.

The only addition is a guy that apparently can't read and hasn't had the luxury of getting coached up for the past 4 months. If the defense is going to take the next step, management has to address the NT position. |

This has been the most disappointing part of what Pioli has done so far. I understand not going after elite players until we've built the team back. I just don't understand why we have to go after complete scrubs when there are quality 2nd level guys out there.

You and I butt heads a lot, but we're in complete agreement on this one.
