Pattern in our player acquisitions?

[ThePreciating]

Anyone notice that we picked up players almost exclusively from teams that are on our schedule this year?

Minnesota - Fred Smoot
Buffalo - London Fletcher
Arizona - David Macklin

if those three weren't enough to convince you, we then went and picked up

Green Bay - Shaun Bodiford

and THEN

New York Jets - Pete Kendall

and THEN!!

New England - Reche Caldwell

Coincidence, or are we keeping the schedule in mind when we're making these moves?

[TD_washingtonredskins]

Hopefully these guys brought their video tapes with them...

[TheREALJBird]

I think It's coincidence. All positions of need and depth for our team. When we went on that NY shopping spree several years ago I don't think it was to hardcore gameplan for our opener with the Jets

[bulldog]

but we also picked up Randall Godfrey (ex-San Diego), Cody Boyd (ex-Steelers) and Omar Stoutmire (ex-Saints)............

[WorldBFree76]

Well it's not like these guys are unknowns though, with the exception of Shaun Bodiford.

[SantanaClaus89]

That is quite interesting, but I doubt that was the main factor in any of these signings...

Makes you wonder, though.

[emor09]

i think its a coincidence...but i think they will have some info

[bulldog]

Caldwell was acquired because we needed someone with a pulse at wide receiver behind Moss and ARE

[TomE]

The Cowpokers just picked up Tank Johnson, who'd he play for again?

[TheGift]

its a coincidence...

And a damn good one at that

[Fred Jones]

Interesting but just coincidence. Just think why we picked up each player, what needs they filled and the familiarity with the coaches.

Also, in another article a current coach said, in reference to the Pats, that players have copies of playbooks of other teams and it does not matter that much. Current game plans is something that a coach would want and that is something that these guys don't have.

If you notice, all the players you listed also have initials that are consonants. There are no vowels anywhere in their initials.


Scary...

[The_cavalierman]

That is a pretty interesting coincedence....

The cow sissies picked up tank this week right before they play his old team (Da-Bears).

Imagine that...

Maybe this is the legal way of getting information on other teams.

[bulldog]

As long as Lovie Smith continues to start Rex Grossman, the Bears are not going to beat the better teams on their schedule.

They never threatened offensively against San Diego in the opener and looked pathetic at times for a team coming off a Super Bowl appearance.

But that is how weak the NFC was last year.

i hope we sign tom brady so he can give us pats tapes
