The NFL is a giant good 'ol boys network. That's how it's always been, that's how guys like Wade Phillips and Norv Turner can continue to get jobs. But we've hashed out all these arguments 100 million times. And the truth as usual lies somewhere in the middle. The Patriots Way BS has not worked at all in places like Cleveland when it's the coach who's making the transition. However, it has been more successful in places like Atlanta and Miami where the transition is happening at the top in the GM position, and it filters down through the rest of the organization.
I don't like everything we've done... the O-line stuff doesn't bother me, we just had too many holes to geniunely fill all of them, as much as anyone thinks we could've fixed everything or made different moves, history dictates some of these moves are not going to work. We've brought in guys, but some of them haven't worked. To me getting Cassel then trading away one of the top red zone targets in football was the toughest thing. But I do understand what they're trying to do, and I'm willing to be open minded about it. This approach has worked when implemented at the front office level, not as much when it's just a Crennel or Charlie Weis taking over the coaching reins. |

Why is it better to have Wade Smith than Schuening? I don't think anyone would disagree with a move like that.
Turk McBride has no place on this team either. |

I agree. However, Rome wasn't built overnight.

He didn't invent drafting, or trades, and he sure as **** didn't perfect any of the three. Tom Brady's not walking through that door, dirk. Vince Wilfork's not walking through that door and Bill Belichick isn't walking through that door. And if you expect them to walk through the door, you're going to be damned disappointed.

![]() Meredith from what I understand hasn't been picked up by anybody so I guess everyone thinks he stinks plus he dropped big time in the draft so there must be something wrong with the guy. I don't know about the other 2 you listed so I will take your word on it. |

I can't rep you again, but I wish I could. This was such beautiful poetry it brought a tear to my eye. It could only be made better if uttered by Sam Jackson dressed in his Jules costume from "Pulp Fiction".

Kevin McHale! There's our answer at RT! He's looking for work.

We haven't built an Offensive Line yet so young talents like Schuening should be getting phone calls from this organization. Players like Wade Smith are stabilizers, but you better be building your core (or at least trying to) while you're trying to get the ship stable.

I was hoping someone would get the reference. McHale's feet are totally shot, though.

No, it wasn't.
But consider who it is trying to make these points - guys that didn't expect this team to win more than 3 games to begin with. I can't speak for them, but in my case, I'm more disappointed that they aren't taking advantage of the gift that they have, getting the pick of the litter when it comes to the cuts of the elite teams. Picking up a Shipley, Meridith, Justice, etc gives you a project for the future, guys you can groom to take over down the road. There's not a single guy on the OL right now sans Albert that anyone is excited about seeing in 2010, 2011, etc. These are moves that BUILD a team, not just fill holes. To think this team can't get better in the short and especially long term by signing guys with more potential is ridiculous, IMO. |
