Easy everyone, let's not panic. No judgements quite yet. Let's give them ten games or so to settle in. Then another fifteen games to learn the new system. The next fifteen games, of course, are needed to gain chemistry with new linemates. The fifteen after that are to gain chemistry with the now changed new linemates. Then a bit of time is needed, say ten games, to shake off the all star week doldrums. Then fifteen or so games to get used to the different brand of sock tape.
Now we're at 80 games. Game 81 and 82 should really tell us what we have here. That's when we can start making judgements.
