It's all been recycled since then.  There are virtually zero remnants.

The purge hurt in the short term. We're seeing more coaching/scheming issues than f.o. issues right now.

I’m not being a jerk. I am honestly asking..What do you think of Deflip after the last 3 weeks?

I refer to our playbook as the "Flippin' play calls"

This....this is what the playbook was intended to look like with Foles under center? Woof.

As to the OP, the purge is not the cause of our current woes. Look back to how many players we spent large contracts on, and how many of them actually see the end of those deals. How many seasons do we eat dead money hits over 8 figures? That's overpaying for guys who either aren't as good as we thought, not a good fit in whatever we believe our roster/identity we are purportedly building towards, or guys that did not want to be here once the ink dried.

So, in addition to needing to draft positions of need that weren't filled in FA, we know also have to fills positions we previously attempted to bandaid in free agency. We've had a few hits (Campbell, Bouye), but the glaring misses (Norwell, Bortles, Moncrief) cripple your ability to use draft to its fullest. We are constantly chasing our tails trying to keep ahead of the roster holes.

Dave has done well in the draft, especially considering the futility of his predecessor. But, when you have vacuums at practically every position on the roster, you cannot afford to miss when you swing for a home run FA signing.
