This board has been saying to strike while Pat is cheap. Well that’s what they did..

I was never a fan of this offseason. We were an offsides away from the Super Bowl, so we tried to completely rebuild the defense? Seemed like overkill. We retained only like three defensive starters from that SB-caliber squad.. not that the defense was particularly good but they had good elements. Seemed to me we could have used a retooling and coaching change over a full-on rebuild.
Time will tell if it was the right choice but I'm skeptical.
