I guess I'd answer that by saying I think the loss of talent from the first off season to last year - was greater than the loss of talent this past off season to the start of this season. I do agree we are less talented than last year but I largely attribute that to Richie and Wood - which wasn't part of the tear down.
Glenn only started 5 games so essentially we lost Brown and Tyrod of any significance.
I just don't see how it was a partial tear down, then a continuation of the tear down when I look at who we lost. I know there's been much much more turnover than that but starting quality speaking....
