I have been thinking of Piloi and his track record with NE. What I realized is that he isnt about the big names in Free Agency. Other than Randy Moss (who was more of a gamble after his stint in Oakland) he never spent big money on FA. I have no idea what that means for us as far as all the big name FAs being passed around (Peppers, Haynesworth, Suggs, Lewis, etc). He does have a good track record of putting together strong defenses, but with no FA superstars. The few big names they do sign are usually on the ugly side of their careers (Junior Seau) but tend to get the job done.
I have a feeling we may not be getting the big name guys, but instead a few guys who arent names you hear on ESPN all the time (i.e. Dansby, Vilma) who will get the job done.
Pioli did say in his press conference that he wanted to put together a strong successful team, not a team of all-stars.
Cant wait to see what this offseason will bring. At least with all the coaching and player drama we have something to talk about. haha
