It’s just like the Duane Brown thing to me. Rick said we can trade down & still get your guy, every body said ok. At 26 Rick said we can trade down again & every body said, just take him now & Rick did.
so if BO’b wanted JimmyG, makes sense for Rick to say, we can get him at the top of the third. BO’b would have had to say, ok, or I strongly disagree.
Since we ended up with XSF I have to imagine BO’b said ok. Remember there was only one time Rick went against the room.
& it made sense JimmyG would be there at the top of the third, but we know how vindictive Belichick can be.
The difference was back then RS/Kubiak/Gibbs were on the same page. Tell me do you think RS/BOB were ever on the same page from day 1 going forward.
