Nah, I want Manny gone as much as you guys. But Phillips wasn't hurt by Manny. And Greg would have gotten his licks in.
Manny's gimmicky scheme is kind to DEs. They're not asked to set the edge, only have to cover the flats occasionally, and they get those highlight TFLs. Would have been something to see him and JP as our DEs with Roche as third man in. We didn't have a terrible season last year overall despite being destroyed by Clemson and UNC. He would have made a difference, not W/Ls probably, but showing some dominance and shutting down those close games like NC State.
We had 2 first round DEs in the same draft, that's insane. All of us should be celebrating their successes in the NFL. Hope both guys go on to be All Pros and HOFers.
