A good coach (especially one who is new to a team) should be able to adjust to utilize the strengths of his players, and not ditch good players because they don't fit in his scheme.

Actually, he HAD to boot players off of the team to get under the cap. The Redskins were something like $30M over the cap when he took over, so it was a cap purge and not some purge about "who fits the system." As for #28, he simply said that he would have to compete for a starting job. I find nothing wrong with that, let the best man win.
