Free Agency: Who do you want?
 
Saw this thread on another site (SoSH), and thought it would be a good idea here.

I realize that the pain is still super fresh for all of us, but what better way to talk about how we can get back to the show next year and win it? The re-tooling of the roster starts now. Who do you want?

Brandon Lloyd.

Any other help needed can be got through the draft/players returning off IR. I would also like to a see a change in defensive philosophy and have more attacking players on the DL who get into the backfield on a regular basis, give the secondary some help by actually creating consistent pressure.

Re-signing Anderson & Carter is a must.

- Brandon Lloyd, but only if Brady can reliably hit the deep ball in 2012, i dont know if he can anymore.

These kind of players just dont grow on trees. BB has never shown a move to pressure Defense, and he aint changing now.

As for FA, they've got many decisions....Welker, BJGE, Connolly, Koppen, Carrter et al...Draft is again crapshoot, and he will again trade bunch more picks for future and draft more to be IR'd DB's.

Sorry, but I just don't see this team setup for another run. We will do well in regular season once again because AFC sucks all in all, but they've been flawed in playoffs ever since they decided to make Brady the focal point in 2006 season. That was compounded by one pathetic draft after another, and lousy FA decisions.

We won when and how ? When we had a good defense, played smart ball control ball with Corey, even with bunch of no names for WR or TE

We are the NE Colts now.......all stats in regular season, and garbage in playoffs

Cortland Finnegan.

And get rid of Arrington and Molden somehow if any teams are dumb enough to want them....

Arrington? The dude has been arguably the most reliable CB for us since 2010. No way in hell.

I'd definately love Lloyd depending on the price. The guy can make plays and if his record with Josh McDaniels is any indication then i'm all for him.

Someone to replace Ihedigbo and Ohco Cinco.

You made me LOL twice in one (ish) sentence.

Dream scenario, Super Mario. Like Big-T, I would like to see a more attacking defensive scheme, as well as utilize press man coverage to better defend against pass oriented offenses. Something like the attacking 4-3 we saw early in the pre-season that got us all excited.

Your deep ball point....I wonder that too. As far as roster building....Just find a WR that safeties have to worry about. Branch and Ocho are not NFL starters.
