Pioli and the players...
Just a question...
I think Pioli has been doing a fantastic job and I know he's hella busy... but shouldnt he be in some contact with his new players? I'm in no way justifying the expected crying on LJ's part, and I understand where TG is coming from, but I was a little supprised to hear that the new GM hasnt even spoken to the 2 biggest stars on the team. Couldnt a little of this have been avoided by a little ego stroking and "hey we've got big plans for you lets get to know each other" talk? Just been bothering me a bit. ![]() |

I'm still a bit worried, even though I'm blindly behind whatever the guy does, but did Pioli find the good players or did Belichick and his staff find the good players? This probably makes a gazillion times I've said this, but I'm excited to see what Pioli does without Belichik in his ear..

They can call him if they want to talk, I'm sure he'll answer. He's the boss and he's busy with other stuff right now - like hiring a head coach. Hell, if they were working out at the Chief's training facilities, they probably would be seeing him.

The days of ego stroking are over. Players will take personal responsibility for themselves and their careers, or they won't be on the team. Pioli won't have to waste time dealing with prima donnas or overpaid crybabies because a strong locker room environment, created by the head coach and overseen by a few veteran leaders among the players, will nip that shit in the bud.

Should Pioli wipe their butts too? Bring 'em carry out? These guys are professional football players. Well, one of them is. They should just shut up and grow up.

I guess. I know a lot will have to do with what the head coach wants, but especially Tony. You have the greatest TE of all time and a franchise icon on the roster. The FACE of the franchise and you dont even give him a little ring? What 3 weeks now? Just sayin'!

I have a feeling he's more interested in laying the ground work to be able to give Tony and everyone else a big ring... for their finger... than he is worrying about doing something the new coach will be the person to do when he gets here. As big a star as Tony is I doubt Pioli is too concerned with stroking him considering his other, more immediate needs.

LJ is a 30-year old RB who hasn't produced for two seasons, looks bad on the field, can't block, won't catch a pass and has an attitude problem. That's about all you need to know.
Gonzo is a guy that is going to go on the field, get open every play and catch every ball thrown to him. He'll retire after 1 or 2 more seasons. That's about all you need to know. |

That explains the career long 60+ yard runs he broke this year.
