He has an exact formula that he sticks to and does not deviate from. It started this off season in the weight room when he implemented a certain way for players to work out, and he was known to hang out in the weight room every day to see who worked hard and who didn't. Guys like Jason Taylor that didn't show up for the off season program are no longer there.
He also has a formula for player's size, which is why Zach Thomas was cut. I am a lifelong Dolphins fan and it broke my heart to see him go, but he was always an undersized linebacker, and that doesn't fit the Parcells mold. Most of our linebackers now are converted defensive ends, like Matt Roth, and he drafted guys like Phillip Merling and Kendall Langford to add beef to the defensive line, and Jake Long and Donald Thomas (who is hurt but has a hell of a future at guard) for the offensive line. This team is HUGE now when you compare them to last year.
Of course we have to thank the Jets most of all, because if they didn't trade for Brett Favre then Chad Pennington wouldn't have fallen in our lap
