So tell me, since I haven't got a clue.
What veterans did you guys bring in early on in the BB/Pioli era to "teach" the young guys how to win?
I remember Seau, but that was after you had already won a SB or two, wasn't it?

Yeah, Seau was later, much later.
Keep in mind that the Patriots team Belichick inherited in 2000 was fundamentally different from teh group of kids you have:
1. Starting QB was Drew Bledsoe -- 7 year veteran, pro bowler, and one SB appearance.
2. The team started 2000 just 3 years removed from a SB appearance, with playoff appearances and victories within the last couple of years.
3. Seasoned vets: Bledsoe, Bruschi, Ty Law, Lawyer Milloy, Willie McGinest, Bruce Armstrong,
You've got Tony Gonzalez and a bunch of kids, basically.
