Just cause you bring in a talented player doesn't automatically mean that the player will play well in his new system. AH only knows Tenn's defense and their system. Perhaps he doesn't fit well with what Blache and co does. As I said, history shows it doesn't work.

The Jets didn't make the playoff because Brett Favre threw a whole bunch of interceptions at the end of the season. I think they fielded a decent defense, given how competitive the AFC East was this past season.

Shawn Rogers was not necessarily a bust, and just like us, the Browns had their offensive issues as well (remember Braylon Edwards dropping all those passes?).

And I think the 49ers were giving up on their coach this year, yet don't forget that they were a few games away from being the AZ Cardinals.

My point is bringing in high priced FA's doesn't seem to translate into wins. Does it?

You forget the redskins official motto in the Daniel Snyder era:

"Just because its never worked before, that doesnt mean it wont start working now."

Not always of course (though Plax and Pierce didn't hurt the Giants), but not doing anything doesn't seem to translate into wins either.

Yes, but you were criticizing the defensive players on those teams, and my point that the defensive players were not the reason those teams lost. And well Favre was sort of a FA acquisition, but you were not talking about him or any offensive players.
