Parcells has always rebuilt D first.
You seem to miss the much BIGGER issue.
Most in BPs position would just get what they wanted no matter what others thought(jerry Jones). Bill did NOT seek to hire "yes men". He was willing, open and encouraged differing opinions.
He was true to his quote..........
“If they want you to cook the dinner, at least they ought to let you shop for some of the groceries.”
Thus came Jake!
Don't forget Bill used discount coupons to get Ferg, Akin and Fasano.
From the scratch and dent aisle HE got his former first round pick, Sunshine.
Bill tore up JTs dance card so Porter goes to his natural position with a rejuvenated attitude.
But most important he brought Miami a TEAM mentality from top to bottom!
