It is curious but typical of our FO. We've been saying all along that if anyone is qualified to buy that pig in a poke, it was Philbin, the guy who knew him best. I'd hope that Ireland didn't step on Philbin's feet. Instead it's possible that Alex Smith and his agent got some inside information that Peyton will be announcing the 49ers as his new team on Monday or Tuesday, so as a result the agent put in a quick call to Ireland to offer up Smith, if they're interested which excited Philbin more than did Flynn for his WCO. I'm hoping that was the scenario cause the Smith interview happened very fast, but with these guys you never know nor automatically should they be given the benefit of the doubt anymore. I'm also not discounting the possibility that Sherman liked Tannehill (or even Weeden) a lot more than Philbin did Flynn. But who the **** knows? :idk:
