Roster transition in the Shanny era

[GTripp0012]

When Gibbs and Williams were hired in 2004 and all they had was a bunch of Spurrier's leftovers (because Spurrier was a bad hire who tore apart Schottenheimer's roster), did they complain about needing to turn over 80% of the roster before needing to compete?

Or did Williams have a GREAT defense in the fall because he used previously unused guys like Pierce, Marshall, and Clark combine with his handpicked signings such as Springs, Taylor, Washington, Griffin, and Daniels to make one of the best units in the league? I mean, that was a totally different scheme than what George Edwards was running, about as different as you can get. But it's not possible if he releases Pierce and Clark to bring in guys like Prioleau and Lawyer Milloy because he once worked with them before.

It wasn't a fluke. He did the same thing with New Orleans in 2009.
