    Per Mando:

    (On if he thinks the team had enough firepower last year and what the team’s primary needs are)
    "Obviously, you finish the season 7-9 and no one’s satisfied with that. The object of going into a season is to win the division. I think there’s a gap between the one and two in our division. In terms of fire power, look, we had two guys that were over 60 catches. We’ve got to find guys that are scoring touchdowns and getting the ball in the end zone. We’ve got to find guys that are disrupting the passer on defense, disrupting the receiver getting into the route on defense as well. We’re not looking, going into this draft, that we’re looking at one primary area. We’re looking to upgrade in a lot of different areas."

    yet last year he thought that "4's, 5's and 6's" would be enough.

    Someone please make it stop.......:tantrum:

    No, he didn't. And he said as much.

    I'm pretty sure the object is to win the Super Bowl.

    The object of the playoffs is to win the superbowl, the object of the season is to win the divion.

    Ireland was getting some heat yesteday for this quote


    But when you put it in context with his next statement it makes a whole lot more sense.

    Its funny how Armondo choose to seperate the two statements because I've seen where they were part of the same response and Ireland laughed between the two.

    Guess you missed Hard Knocks.....he sat there and told Peter King. Rewatch it, and see if he doesn't say, "We just have to have 4's, 5's and 6's step up".

    But that doesn't mean he thought that would be enough. I believe he also says something to the effect of "we need 1's, 2's and 3's".

    "Ireland tells Peter King about the receivers: “We have 4s, 5s and 6s. We need 3s, 2s, and 1s”.

    I don't see anywhere in that statement something that suggests he's 'satisfied' with the 4s 5s and 6s. Quite the opposite. People didn't make a big deal about him saying that because we thought he was 'content with what he had', people were upset because he had gotten to that point with the franchise and thats still all he had to show for it, in that regard.

    and the rest of it is, he said "We need them to step up". don't take it out of context.

    He was satisfied they WOULD step up.....he expected it.

    Considering that is the quote, i'm not taking anything out of context.

    Obviously if your team has 4s 5s and 6s, you would need them to step up, should be a given. There was not one slight hint of 'content' with him and what he was talking about.... and I don't even really like Ireland... at all.

    His failure to replace Marshall showed everyone he was statisfied.

    Boy everyone is just getting soft on Ireland all of a sudden.

    What Ireland should have said, for you to be right, if I understand you correctly is:

    "What we have is 4s 5s and 6s, I need those guys to act like 1s 2s and 3s for a fraction of the price to make me look somewhat competent"

    Unfortunately thats not how it went down, the guy was not happy about what he had. Deal.

    Not soft, tired of the same thing over and over, Everyone knows the guy has more lives than a cat and is on the wire now.

    His failure to replace Marshall showed his continued incompetence and added to his list of no-nos, everyone knows that. But that has NOTHING to do with the relevance of the point you are trying to make. he was not satisfied at having 4s 5s and 6s. Is it his fault hes in that position in the first place? Sure. But please don't try and pretend like he was content with the situation... Puh-leaaze.

    What did I say was wrong ? He said we have 4's 5's and 6's, and he also did say we need them to step up. I challenge you to rewatch it. He did say we need 3's, 2's and 1's but he meant it as he needed those 4's, 5's and 6's to become 3's 2's and 1's.

    No it doesn't. That's ridiculous.

    It shows he tried to replace him. Nothing panned out. That says nothing about him being satisfied.

    Hey, I agree with you man. 100%. We all do, actually.

    that has NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR point. that does NOT mean he was content with having 4s 5s and 6s. it means he made a mistake, and a big one.

    He had a plan. He carried out the plan. The plan failed. That happens.

    Having a plan is not the same as guaranteed success of the plan.

    I'm saying VManis is making a distinction without a difference between the regular season and the playoffs. It's all one continuous string of football. The goal is to get to the end, not get 3/4ths of the way.

    If Chad Ochocinco was his plan, then anyone and everyone should see Ireland is very deficient as a talent evaluator.

    I shudder to think what will happen this year.

    He thought we had 1s, 2s and 3s. Or at least 2s, and 3s. Then training camp started and he realizes, we have 4s, 5s and 6s. "Oh Shiizzzz."

    He wanted Legadu to step up. Then we'd have Two borderline #2s in Legadu and Hartline.

    Thanks, I did cut off the beginning and end segments, but still doesnt change the point. Its not like he was overly content with what he had to work with.

    That sounds like a man that is statisfied. He "liked" the group.

    A no talent group.

    This is the man entrusted for this big year. He liked that group of receivers ?

    Chad was Plan J. A number of other WRs were attempted to be acquired. Quite frankly, had Chad not gone full ****** with his wife we'd probably have reached the playoffs.

    This is, what he said.

    Kind of late to make that determination, no? When training camp's already started? That's what gets you 7-9

    The fact he says we need 3,2,1 contradicts everything you stated. That doesn't mean he thought it would be enough. In fact it completely contradicts that notion.

    To be fair, he did think it was enough. You kind of have to assume so. Why would any GM enter training camp knowing you only have 4s, 5s, and 6s? When balls started flying is when he realized, it wasn't.
