Rebuilding was essentially restarted when they decided to go 3-4 or bust. Up until that point, most of the rebuilding efforts on D had gone into the DLine. Pioli and Haley set the rebuilding back themselves when they decided they had to switch to a 3-4.
And the youth movement was really put on a back burner too. I hate to see that. All the old guys they brought it haven't served much purpose IMO.
