[QUOTE="DaveRoller, post: 621044, member: 9226"] [I](On locker room chemistry influencing roster) It all factors. Being a good teammate is important. Some teams may weigh that differently, but it's important here. [B][U]History will teach you these kinds of lessons[/U]. [/B]You don't want to go through a whole spring, whole training camp and then you see a different guy on that first Monday in week one. That's bothersome. It may have happened in the past.[/I] As an enthusiastic student of history, I appreciate the lesson above from Coach McCarthy. Another, recent (very recent) history lesson MM might want to consider involves another NFL team, the New England Patriots. Last season, NE signed its starting RB in late November, added a veteran DT in late October, traded for a veteran OLBer and a special teams veteran at the October trade deadline, and traded for a TE right before camp broke. That was in addition to all the veteran free agents the Patriots brought in before last season (Revis, Browner, LaFell, etc.). Many of these same players are no longer with New England. NE has been acquiring veteran talent from other teams for years, has been to 6 of the last 14 Super Bowls, and has won 4 of them. Pretty impressive history. [/QUOTE]
