So if anyone was going to be traded......

Wouldn't a trade have already taken place? I mean its getting kinda close to draft day and I think if they were going to trade a player, they would have done it buy now.

I appreciate someone who takes decisions this seriously. Even the ones that seem like no-brainers.

Yes I know you want to see some action in trades and FA, but let Pioli work his magic.

Besides, what other teams do you see making trades and such.

I agree 100%. I have complete faith in Pioli, until proven otherwise (which I don't think will be the case). You can really get a good idea of his makeup from his press conference. Don't look for him to make the big splash in FA/draft/trades just for the sake of a big name, but someone who will be the smart choice. As he said in his first day here, he is interested in not necessarily the best players but the right players for this team. If that does not include some long time favorites on the team, well so be it. That has sure seemed to work for the Pats. As for the secrecy, I love it. It's the smart thing to do, plus it gives us something to debate.

Why wouldn't they just draft a young back? Doesn't really make sense to bring on the salary and baggage and attitude and face-spitting that LJ would bring. Besides - he runs into blockers and falls down. Not quite the same back as he was 3 years ago...

Thats what they said about Randy Moss. And we had a way better O-line 3 years ago to.

Difficult to tell. The last twenty years of Carl Peterson has left me numb, now that Pioli is in charge, I don't quite now what to expect.
