You aren’t gutting the entire defense in 1 offseason, that’s not going to happen this yr or never for that matter. Realistic starters that could change are Lve, Lewis. Could change over some depth, but that’s itat minimum four I can see 8 when that threat we were just talking about the people we could lose and free agency from our own team some of it may be role players you call it starters but there's probably gonna be 8 new faces on defense just organically.... We're talking about free agency and the draft but there's got to be guys we need to bring in to replace the ones we lose... We were just talking about this on the other page so it may not be 4 new starters but there's only 11 guys on defense but I think there's gonna be probably 8 new faces at minimum on that side of the ball you might as well make that like we did for Dan Quinn whoever becomes a defensive coordinator gets to bring some of his old guys back and draft players he thinks fit.. I mean on the whole team there's probably gonna be about a 30% turnover in players that's almost every year you do realize there's 53 players right and a lot of these role players like on defense they rotate in and out especially the defensive line and linebackers coming in and out there's more than just 11 players you're focusing on starters I'm talking about bringing in guys that will help install and teach whatever new defense might be coming in..
I prefer not to have much of the old defense come back as far as philosophy goes the nickel the dime the undersized linebackers hard to stop the run blah blah blah you can blame it on lack of talent around here but I don't you're making excuses for Dan Quinn who called nickel and dime far too often was at a position his players did not seem to be set up in a scheme to stop the run like all game in Buffalo when we heard Josh Allen come out after the game who by the way only had like 90 yards passing say that that was not the game plan but when they noticed Dan Quinn looked like he was unwilling to come out of his defense they ran the ball game and Dan Quinn decided to let them..
So, I don't know what al Harris and Joe Witt would do without their mentor here but I promise you this if it's bringing any of that back where they can't hold a lead they need a big lead they give up too many points on the first drives both in the game and out of halftime I'm really over all that...
