He was an ascending player and we all knew it. In fact, in his last season with us he played at a probowl level. Then Philbin came in and didn’t like him - there was some talk that he showed up drunk to practice (not sure if true). So we traded him for poor value. Then w Indy he continued on the trajectory he was on w us and went to two probowls. He was also one of the best tackling CBs around. Very physical. Bad trade by Ireland and Philbin - I railed about it for 2 years after that’s how much I hated it. Rest in peace young man. So sad.Refresh my memory for those who remember. We had him for three years and we thought him and Smith would be our corners for a while - then he was gone - off to Indy. Why'd we not keep him around longer?
