I will trust the process. But I have to admit, I didn’t think we needed a complete rebuild.

But not guys who were effective. Hood was on the practice squad, Ward was a tower of mediocrity, so was Newhouse, James didn't pass his physical, Calhoun is somehow still around even after being released and then being signed to the practice squad to start his second season. I'd never even heard of that, so I'm not lovin his chances....but I am lovin his heir apparent, Arden Key. Best guys we released were Patterson and Olawale. I liked em both, but they were never part of the nucleus. Granted, our schemes will be different, but I think that's going to be a very good thing. Personally, I blame Downing for the down turn and people had been calling for KNJ's job for a while. We'll probably start 10/11 of the same guys as last year on O. The D needed work on all 3 levels, got it, and should be significantly better than last year.
