If we do get albert I hope that = Austin eifert or Patterson
I'm not sure how i feel about this.
Unless Albert signs an extension for like $6 mill a year or something this is beyond idiotic.
Ok, I can feel you there. Maybe I over said what I was trying to get across. I was behind letting Jake walk because I thought I understood the direction of the team. If we trade for Alberts I now have to look at the Jake Long issue as a complete FAIL. The rest I still like, is that better?? You are correct, it doesn't affect the other signings.If we would have signed Long with a huge deal people would bitch so it doesn't matter. If he can improve the team than i say do it, but to say if we trade for him ruins everything else is ridiculous.
everyone keeps forgetting that LONG is a broken down comodity. WAY to much of a risk to give him the deal he wanted.
long was never a GREAT pss protector in his prime and he was going to get worse as time went on. that situation raised its ugly head last year and long was a JOKE pass protecting, hell, playing at all last year. just way to much contract for a player CLEARLY on the decline.
my only hope with albert is the finz will use this oportunity to take BEST PLAYER AVAILABLE and that player will be TAYVON AUSTIN!!
the other glaring thing this tells me is JONATHAN MARTIN is another ireland bust pic. they already knew that long would probably not be here the next season and they wanted to groom him for the spot. but, martin didnt look good on the right side at all and didnt shine at LT either. if they thought there was ANY chance of martin being the guy at LT, we wouldnt even be talking about albert.
this is all just the typical ireland/finz merry go round. nothing great. could turn out ok, could turn out real bad.
but as of right now. alber is the better player over jake long and much less a risk shovelling money into.
If you want Tannehill to succeed, protect him with one of the best pass blocking LT's in the game.
