We all knew major changes would come after the Polians were fired, but after today (just three off seasons later), we potentially have just two non-STs starters left from the Polian era. That would be Reggie Wayne and Robert Mathis. |

You're right, forgot about Castonzo who was drafted their final year. Still a pretty huge turnover. Actually, I think we have just six total leftover, assuming we don't re-sign guys like Linkenbach and Brown. Edited by Bent20, Mar 11 2014, 07:48 PM.

Really not that surprising. GMs always prefer their own guys over the other guy's guys. |

That's a lot of turnover in three seasons. Usually a team will at least have some of its 1st and 2nd round picks still around. We have one from 2010. Look at the guys we drafted in rounds 1-3 from 2010 and earlier and Castonzo is all we have left going back five years. For comparison, if you look at the 1999 roster we still had: Marvin Harrison from the 1996 draft Ellis Johnson and Ken Dilger from the 1995 draft Marshall Faulk (just traded) from the 1994 draft Edited by Bent20, Mar 11 2014, 09:19 PM.

I think that speaks to how poorly Chris Polian did at drafting good players. |

I counted Moala and was one of the six others. Wayne, Mathis, Costanzo, Vinatieri, McAfee and Moala. That's assuming we don't bring back some fringe guys like Matthews, Linkenbach, Conner, etc. |
