I understand what you're getting at.  Turnover is obviously expected, but even 50% turnover would be massive.  So when you go into a season with two position groups completely turned over, that does stress the unit.  That's not taking into account replacements from other position groups either.  As we saw last season, things got better as they gained more experience, then really stabilized once Peerman returned.  Fast forward to this year and you have a bunch of new LBers, Lawson, Willis, Malone, and WJIII all getting significant time with special teams.  Things started ugly, but have improved as they have had an opportunity to gel.
