Payton then went on a 10 minute rant about building an "06" team with hard workers, sound tacklers, and fundamentally good football players who have a history of staying heathly

Payton is such a master of coachspeak you'll never hear the straight skinny to the press (ala Vitt). Since he has been reinstated I have sensed beneath the usual lines that he does have a fresh approach. It's not a starting from scratch but there can be fresh perspective. That is, what was the make up and characteristics of what made this team from '06 to the SB? What is different now? What from those teams was better than now?

I'm expecting a rougher training camp with Payton lighting a little more fire under the troops. Wouldn't be surprised to see some statement moves as well. Remember a 7th Rd Hofstra player sending a former 1st Rder down the road (Stallworth)? Remember PT23 outting a 4th rd pick at the same position? Don't be surprised if a player out of nowhere supplants an established name that has gotten a little fat or sloppy.
