I woke up Friday morning expecting to have signed Haynesworth and Brown, a slew of other big name FA's, a trade for Boldin and Ashomogu for this years and next years 3rd round pick was minutes away from being finalized, and we traded Beck to Detroit for their 2nd round and a conditional pick and found out none of those has happened. And I'm thinking to myself, what the heck is this FO doing. Then it dawned on me, maybe, just maybe these guys really have a plan that was developed from day one Parcells and Ireland took over and they are not straying from the path they believe will make us winners. Call me crazy, but there is a slight chance Parcells and Ireland know what they are looking for and they know what they are doing. Have faith and see where they lead us. I dont remember any team that bought a Superbowl by getting every top FA in the offseason, let me know if I'm wrong on this.
 
Put down your controller and back away slowly!!! LOL just kidding good post buddy, I also have faith in what the FO they at least deserve our trust after last year.

Wait, did this happen, or was it in the works?

Good post. :hi5:

We are doing this year exactly what we did last year, although last year we were a bit more active. I dont need to see big names and high salaries, just some solid signings, unfortunately, I do not see hoe signing Berger is a solid signing even for back-up purposes. Alleman and Idukwe are far better backups than Berger IMO... But i Sparano does know more than I do so hopefully its turn out to be solid.

i don't think you're wrong on that...if memory serves me right,i do believe every team that's won a SB,did it by building through the draft,and signed a few FA for depth purposes and to help plug a hole or 2...from one Vet to another,good post...:up:
 
beck for a second rounder and another pick that would be nice
 
I remember in Shula's final years the team went crazy payign big money for a bunch of free agents who were supposed to get us there. We never made it even close to the Super Bowl and then we were screwed cap wise for years to come.

When I see the money being paid it is ridiculous. Haynesworth got $100M for a DT?!?!?. The Jests pay Scott $48M we pay Crowder $15-20M and Crowder had 10 more tackles!!!

I think we are doing just fine and we will build through the draft and a few key free agents. But we wont overpay and paralyze this teams cap for years to come.
 
Good post. I think it is difficult for all of us fans (which of course is short for fanatics) to even imagine that Parcells, Ireleand, and Sparanao might know more about this than we do.

Crowder had 10 more solo tackles (92) than Scott had total tackles (82).
 
A disciplined plan is why we landed G. Wilson. He saw first hand what a lack of a plan does to a team. The Raiders are completely out of control. More and more players will seek out the Phins. That is the position that the Patriots have enjoyed for the last six years. I am glad that we are competing with their FO. The discipline in our FO is very exciting. It leads to a playoff caliber team year after year. That is our goal.
