--In his introductory press conference on Jan. 14, new Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli displayed the kind of quiet determination and resolve that became a trademark of the Bill Belichick teams that won three Super Bowls in four trips to the ultimate game in the nine seasons Belichick and Pioli spent together.
"What we will do is build a big, strong, smart, fast, tough and disciplined team," Pioli vowed.
"Those are not just words. You will see over time that we will have smart players, because they do smart things. We will have tough players, mentally and physically. We will have disciplined players who are on time, paying attention and working hard. That's the kind of staff we'll have, the kind of personnel department we'll have. That's how our entire football operation is going to be. And those players will reflect those values."
QUOTE TO NOTE: "My job is not to collect talent, but to build a team. Individuals make the Pro Bowl. Teams win championships. That is our goal." -- New Chiefs GM Scott Pioli.
