Long has a major injury, ACL on the knee, so that big investment for St. Louis now looks very bad. Long is injury prone, and good thing Ireland did not give him the money while he was playing for us and let him taste Free Agency.
i always laugh at people who judge the draft after one year… are they off to a good start no.. but we have to have just a lil patience.. I'm willing to bet a lot of you nay sayers were saying the same thing when we drafted Clay, Jones, Carroll , Matthews , Discovering Acorns like Brenner, Shelby, etc.. some of you still don't ilke Tanny SMH.. i will say this Ireland has unreal success with late round picks.. he seems to get good to decent players where most teams get no production from.
Really? Philbin hasn't come close to replicating Sparano's first season and has only exceeded Sparano's last season by 2 wins. Is that really that much progress?
People around here don't like to give meatball credit for anything, but he did a masterful job coaching that first season. After starting 0-2, he adjusted schemes to better suit his personnel, something Philbin has been incapable of. He also oversaw a group that was the least penalized in NFL history. That showed discipline.
