yea, i know!!! what is making me even more pissed is that, yes, we will probably have a VERY good team in TWO years, with an EXPLOSIVE offense, but what happens after that? Shannahan was planning for the future. i'd much rather have a few 8-8, or worse, seasons, if it meant that 95% of the team, offense and defense, developed TOGETHER as a team as opposed to having players 15 years apart in age. we'd have those few 8-8, or worse seasons, but what happens after that when everyone has experience, as well as solid trust in each other (that you cant get from what i previously said)? you have a behemoth of a team that know's exactly what each other's strengths/weaknesses are and exactly how each other will react to a certain situation...
i thought Mr. Patriot might be, okay, but he is quickly proving me wrong...instead of addressing the teams REAL problems, said being defense and medical staffing (strength trainers, team doctors, et etc...), he is, as apademek said, scooping up EVERY patriots player in free-agency and stacking the offense even more! we dont need more offense!!! it's like adding a grenade launcher to a gattling gun: we've got enough fire-power for christ's sake!! add some body armor so some little kid with a rock cant walk up, poke us, and we fall over and die!!! (excuse the crappy metaphor...lol)
jabar gaffney is a WASTE of cap room, as are half the FA he's picking up. so far the only good pickup is buckhalter...what a waste when he SHOULD be using what cap we have to bring in good, talented, healthy defensive players instead of trying to patch up a broken and beaten patchy defense...
personally, i say our d troubles start at linebacker...
