There will be lots of discussion about signing Free Agents. I predict that the only ones we will sign, are our own. There is simply little room at the Inn. What most of you don't understand about Belichick, is this. He wants Quality and Quantity. He is willing to sacrifice Ultimate Quality, for affordable, under the CAP, Quantities of Quality.
And he has proven he will blow your brains out, with it. When December and January arrive, he will play starter quality players everywhere; while you plug injury holes with exploitable scrubs. Look at his post Thanksgiving record.
The only reason that we were so concerned with "injuries" this year was that BB was in the midst of rebuilding his Defense. (While still winning!). And he lacked sufficient Quantities of Quality on Defense, to ignore the problem. But that defensive rebuilding only needs two or three more puzzle pieces, even if some here are too myopic to see that. Many seeds have been planted. Some have already bloomed, DROY, but others will too. So it will be completed this off-season, and the quality reserves will be added too, bringing the Defensive depth to his ideal.
The 2009 Team by December 2009, will be the strongest Patriots team ever fielded. That isn't a prediction. No brag, just Fact. It is as surely a fact as water running downhill.
By contrast look a the rebuilt Belichickian Offense, completed just prior to the 2007 season,and needing minimal retouching for a year or Three... Patriots lost RBs Maroney, Morris, and Jourdan; and Lawfim and Faulk stepped up. We lost Brady, and Cassel stepped up. The Offense set rushing records not seen in 30 years. And the passing game stayed near the top too. Meanwhile the Offense actually got deeper, and more balanced then the record setting 2007edition. It had even more Quantities of Quality. We found and added Jourdan, Akins, Levoir, Lawfirm, all who showed that they can contribute to a All-time, All-NFL record setting, Offense.
Who else carries 5, 100 yard RBs and a good FB? Is anyone an LT? Who cares?
Who else carries 2 starting QBs and drafts another potential starter quality reserve?
Who else carries 6 WRs and argues whether the 4th/5th WR receiver is of good enough Quality to play?
Who else carries 11 Offensive linemen and worries about depth, and whether the prime age starters will be good enough in three years? The extensive injuries to the Offense were overlooked, noted only in footnotes.
That's A Belichick team with Quantities of Quality.
I saw our 1985 and 1996 and 2001 Superbowl clubs. They were a joke by comparison, to the Juggernaut that Bill Belichick is putting finishing touches on constructing.
