One thing about this offseason...there is mega change...I mean, we look to have different starters at LT, RT, LCB, RCB, TE, RB, WR1, WR2, WR3, WLB, MLB and likely to have changes at FS, RG, TE2, CB3.
And potentially different guys as RB2, TE2, LG, LS, PK, not to mention a revamping of the STs pretty much all around (other than the returners and punter).
That's a lot of change for one season.... I think that Philbin/Ireland kind of did things a bit differently than most new 'regimes'. They let things ride for a year, giving their premier offseason acquisition (last year), Tanny the ability to get some time under his belt....
This year they have revamped things all around...is that a better route than what most teams take ?? I'll let you know sometime next offseason...but so far I like how they are doing things...
