I guess we all have our own definitions of "blowing up" and "tweaking". Tweaking, to me, means you maybe have a 15-20% roster turnover (roughly 10-12 players). If you accept my definition of the term, then I see NO WAY we merely tweak the roster next season.
IMO, we're looking at a 45-50% roster turnover (25 players, at least), if not more. That includes guys who will be cut, guys who will walk in FA, rookie and UFA replacement for the garbage we have on the field right now. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'd be hard pressed to come away with 30 keep-able players off our current roster (and that includes the guys on IR). Even the list Panama threw out there - including the abysmal Cox - only totals 21 players (I would jettison Cox and add Steve Williams, Stuckey, and Taylor to that list...but even those changes would bring the total to only 23).
I don't think you can tinker/tweak/retool (hate that word) when you have to replace half your roster. That's a 'blow up' in my estimation.
