Two years of contributing players would have been a better start.
We've got a different type of situation, because we've drastically changed schemes on both sides of the ball going from Gase to Saleh.

A lot of the players that Douglas was picking were for a completely different style of football. He isn't just going off of his big board, picking who he thinks is best without consulting his coaching staffs.

We've also lost our two best players on both sides already: Becton and Lawson
