I disagree. All that would show is that we have a HC that is tired of losing. He's decided to tweak the team and see if it generates better chemistry.
Parcells has used that approach many times before. When the team gets on a losing streak, he finally just comes out and tells the press that he's tired of sh*t and he's going to put every player on notice that their jobs are not safe. He'll suddenly cut players just to send a message. He'll bench entrenched players in favor of younger, inexperienced players if he thinks that player might work better with the rest of the team.
It's a tool that works extremely well and apparently Rex has NEVER heard of that approach.
