I know we haven't done much in Free Agency yet, but at least we aren't on Clayton's loser list.

Give it time. We won't be on the winner list thats for sure. But I like the save money philosophy. Not very sexy to the eye though.

Give it time.

Lets be more positive than that!!!!

Any time I see Patriots and losers together, it brings a smile to my face!!

What I'm trying to say is, What do we care what he or anyone else thinks? Of course it doesn't look good what we have done so far. It's a different direction than we've gone in the past and it's not exciting. I think in the long run it's better though. We will probably get on the loser list but I think these teams on hiswinner list will be the losers eventually cause they are giving too much money to a lot of people ala the Redskins recently. Especially the Browns are over-spending. Stallworth has been not too good for 3 teams now and they give him that huge contract? I don't see them as winners. They finally put something together last year and now they are fooling with their chemistry. I'm not being negative about us, I'm just saying, Who cares what Clayton thinks?

If we don't try to get Randy in Denver we will be on tha loser list. We already haven't tried to get any D tackle help. so we could at least pick up tha biggest impact player in tha game. Moss and Cutler is a dream come true. And with Mr. Marshall on the other side with single coverage he would be unstoppable. He can't be tackled in the open field by one man and Moss would really help us. And with a lead our young pass rush we could be tha next team pursuing perfection.

Id feel better if we were. The crypt keeper is a fool. He may as well just be a patriots beat writer...

We were winners last year... where did that get us?


Now I would rather be on the losers side..


Why?



Colts would be if they hadn't resigned the players they actually wanted... the Charger are every year cuz they don't resign unless they REALLY want them.



So how does this make sense? These teams both groom the backups to take over the starting jobs when the starters are up in their contract... the Colts generally resign players when they are either A-special (think Bob Sanders or B- they don't have the depth behind them. otherwise they are not worth the price. (think the two starting corners from their superbowl team)


Now another thing I want to say is this: I am seriously sick of mocks and lazy reporters saying such things like they did about the Giants -They need two new OLBS... now they may get one... if its the BPA... but I wouldn't be surprised if they keep who they got and get DEPTH only there... cuz Kiwi was their Sam las year... and unless Strahan retires will likely play there this year... and they got Wilkerson as the backup Will who had played in their nickel for them and they were high on him.



It is the same thing that happened to us at LB if you ask me... I think if Shanny falls hard for one of the LB's we got him...otherwise you look at it, Nate and DJ started and played alright last year (not great but not terribly bad for Nate... granted his coverage was weak) and we reupped Winborn... with so many other needs... and possibly Boss comin in... we may very well ignore LB until a depth round and use what we got there... but cuz so many people who do mocks dont actually no anythin other than the BIG NAMES on the Teams and what every other site says about needs they all jump to "there isn't a BIG NAME at RB so they need a RB!!"

It is lazy and ignorant if you ask me...


One last example: look how the Giants filled their "gapin hole" at RB last offseason... by getting a 7th rounder and lettin their former backup take over as the starter.


That is what good FO's do. The kind I want ours to become

Moss was NEVER going to leave NE. Thats why there was no one showing interest and making offers to Randy, because no one wanted to be a 'pawn' in the negotiations.

Every team in the NFL didn't try to get Randy.

Randy Moss is a ******. No one in their right mind would want him on this team.

They say Dizon could go in the late first early second round.

I heard that too. I heard Indy will consider him at the end of the first.
