Exactly.... that's why he had to think about it for a second.... then said all that he probably could say at the moment.
Correct. Hence why Ireland told him the rumors were true and he wanted Davis to heart first before more got out there.
Good news to everyone that missed the show. Even though Jeff Ireland has final roster say on paper, it's clearly Coach Philbin calling the shots.
I guess you have me confused with someone else who isn't a fan of you antagonizing them. Please stop derailing the thread.
That part I agree with , much as I personally think the Dez Bryant incident was hugely over blown . Hell Look what the Cowboys are doing to insulate the guy , anyway I don't think Ireland is vindictive or disingenuous or two faced , I just don't trust he has the ability needed to do what needs to be done by a GM to elevate and keep your team at an upper echelon level. I mentioned this many times before but to me it is the Peter Principle , and while he is good at some aspects , the approach he has had hasn't worked , let's all be clear on that. So this is take two at least , the good part is Tanneyhill legitimately looks the part and shows promise , and Philbin kind of has to be better that Sparano ( though we want much more of course ) , we have substantial draft picks , and real positive cap room. Maybe he sees and realizes the errors of his ways , maybe he has learned on the job. Hell I heard fat Bill say on the radio that Miami doesn't have enough playmakers .... was that gloating Bill? I thought Ireland came over at least ok in dealing with the tough part of this business. No complaints or criticisms there from me.
Ha! I see it's because you were banned under that name. Sorry bro, not trying to blow up your spot. But it doesn't take an IP search to realize you're him. I can't believe it took me so long to figure it out. You defend Ireland with the same vigor you defended Chad Henne with. I could dig up arguments you made as Toddphins and they would look nearly identical to the ones you're making today. I hope I don't get you banned again, I honestly missed your posts. Welcome back Todd!
Ireland seems to be a guy who'll take GM advice from the gentleman on the right while ignoring the guy on the left...
If he is Todd he should PM me and say so, because I liked Todd. You're both cool guys....just really passionate about different sides of the coin. In the immortal words of war: Why can't we be friends? Why can't we be friends?....
I like Todd too. I'm not trying to start a beef with him here. I realized it was him, asked the question and then realized it's because he got banned that he's posting under a different name. I'm guessing the mods don't mind he's back. As an admin of another message board it's really easy to tell when someone signs up under a different name.
In the other immortal words of War: All my friends know the low rider The low rider is a little higher Low rider drives a little slower Low rider is a real goer Low rider knows every street yeah! Low rider is the one to meet yeah! Low rider don't use no gas now Low rider don't drive to fast Take a little trip Take a little trip Take a little trip and see Take a little trip Take a little trip Take a little trip with me
If he were ToddPhins it would have been much smarter to name himself "DefinitelyNotToddPhinsHere" to throw us off the trail. Therefor I conclude he is not. Moooving on.
I'm actually Toddphins. There, that should put that to bed.... Now, back to Hard Knocks. Crazy show tonight. Really cool to see the behind the scenes of the trade negotiations!
I expect him to be a little less awkward. A guy is told he is cut by an underling, so Ireland starts off every conversation with: "Hey how's it going, or how are you doing"? How the Hell do you think he's doing?
Perhaps he's asking b/c he's genuinely concerned since he knows the players is aware of already being cut? IDK, I think it's the proper thing to say. Not a lot of things sound good in an obviously awkward moment like that IMO.
Really Vontae? In the middle of a business meeting he wants to call his grandmother right when Ireland says he is being traded, show some professionalism and wait til it's over.
