Definitely I think we have that optimistic possibility as long as we can find a replacement for Dallas Thomas
The best is that we legitimately look like a good team for the first time in a long time. The second best is that Philbin has no excuses and will be gone if the team doesn't live up to expectations (10+ wins and/or a playoff win).
Thus far, it speaks well of Mike Tannenbaum and/or Dennis Hickey. Remains to be seen if Philbin and staff can put that talent on the field. Definitely agree that if the article holds any water, then Philbin and the gang are no longer making chicken salad out of chicken crap.
Or it's how you know your run game can't/shouldn't be relied upon on 3rd and short. Or, that you should expect your QB to be staring down a bull-rush more often than not. I really really hate the prospects of Dallas Thomas starting on our offensive line.
As long as he's at OG and not OT I'm cool. He's capable playing inside, really not as bad as you think.
We might have ourselves a real good talent evaluator in the huckster, the synergy between he and Tballs could prove to be a lethal combination..
Wake, Vernon, Grimes, Pouncey are from Ireland era. As is our franchise QB, Tannehill. And rising talent like Jelani Jenkins, Rashad Jones. Unfortunately he had big misses too like Dion Jordan, and he was bad in free agency with misses like Ellerbe, Wallace, Wheeler etc. Hickey/Tballs have added to that talent with guys like Suh, Devante (too early?), Branden Albert, Juwan James, etc.
