Quote:In my opinion too many, not too few starters would be a disappointment. That would mean last years starters just aren't progressing at a fast enough rate and here we are starting at the bottom again. The other side of the coin would be that Coach lives up to the "competition" mantra and the best fit at the position plays! Big contract or not, I want the best player starting, not the one with the biggest contract. This should be a fun training camp for sure!

 

Well, if you consider that a 3-13 team would have numerous holes to fill, are more new starters necessarily a bad thing?

 

There are legitimate holes minimally at RB, and FS, a potential hole at DT where Marks is because of his rehab from an ACL.

 

Considering Clemons is 34, I'm not sure if we can count on him generating another 9 sacks this year.  That could be considered a hole.

 

Gratz could also be considered a liability from last year.

 

Shorts?

 

I guess my question to you and FBT would be how many new starters would be too many, in your eyes?
