I just had a weird thought...

Gun said he hadn't watched the tapes shortly after he had been hired. It was a couple weeks after that when he discussed some of last year's gamefilms in interviews. He saw the tapes, but he thought he could make some changes in the way these guys played. He still does. He thinks it's going to take 5 full games before they're playing his defense the way he wants them to. If that's the case, I'm not sure we couldn't have shortened the learning curve to 2 by playing starters most of the preseason games..... Right?
