Re: Some Notes From Bram's Blog

It's refreshing to hear that Snyder may be finally learning the value of locker room chemistry. Just look at what this team battled through last year, from all the injuries to Sean Taylor's tragic death. Despite all that the team rallied down the stretch and made the playoffs after they were left for dead at 5-7. That's a team that you don't want to disrupt by bringing in big names with pricey contracts. Snyder said that he learned patience from his time working with Gibbs, and so far it appears that he was telling the truth.

*I* agree...And I also have the feeling the players have taken notice as well.

Over the past several years many players have been willing to re-work their contracts on more than one ocasion, to help clear cap space in an effort to bring in new players with the hopes of improving the team. When players look at the results of their efforts, and see players like B. Lloyd, and A. Archuletta being brought in to make limited contributions, and in Lloyd's case actually be a locker-room disruption, it's easy to see why the team took the approach they did with DJ Hackett.

The show me first attitude would have been best served in the case of both those players, and as a result of those decisions I believe the foundation has been established for the approach the team seems now inclined to take.

I do agree 100%. But let's remember that GW was a BIG PART of that team chemistry. If this Zorn hiring blows up in his face it's going to get real ugly.
