So we are rebuilding this season, I accept that, but who is not in a rebuild mode in this league of parity? A team that finished last year in the playoffs or better than 8-8? A team without a HC change? A team that purged the least veterans? A team that fields the least rookies? :shit: 1-15 in 1996 to 9-7 in 1997, I will take that anyday... Are we really destined to a streak of 3 or 4 win seasons? I hope nothmy: I will not accept the term "rebuilding" and it starts this Sunday and ends 12/31/06:jets: Let the season begin:up: Go for it!
I agree that most teams are in a state of flux, but not all of them can be considered to be rebuilding, in my opinion. You can't ignore the number of new names on the roster. If you don't like 'rebuilding', maybe 'upheaval' is more to your taste.
Exactly... A violent disturbance or change to purge the remnants of the past, a revolution of sorts... And so a new era begins, the sparks of the tempest, the strong take the weak:beer:
This is so true. I didn't realize how different it was until I seen it quoted recently. I believe it was upwards of a 40% change in the roster this year over lasts. That is pretty significant....
We are the 06 NY JETS and we are going to find out. There isn't a team in the league that isn't rebuilding right now. Injuries, FA losses, draft busts are all rampant throughout the NFL. There will be contenders turned into pretenders and Cinderella's a new. It's all going to unfold for us in the next 16 weeks. We have a potentially first rate D and a very easy schedule. The Chicago Bears turned that formula into a playoff run last year.
Any team who shows up at the Draft is in some form of rebuilding. Teams are like your large intestines.....out with the old, in with the new.
We threw away most of our old but still very functional tools (i.e., Mawae and Sowell) and a couple of fairly new tools that just either didn't work or were always in need of fixing (i.e., Jolley and Abe). The retooling began with some very basic tools that are the foundation of any toolbox (Ferguson and Mangold). Now we just need some specialty tools to complete the job.
