    Who knew linebackers Shawn Phillips and Akeem Ayers would benefit so greatly from being benched by the Titans?

    After being traded and released, both these guy will meet this weekend to see which AFC team advances to the Super Bowl.

    These guys must be besides themselves after coming from where they did earlier this season.

    This doesn't surprise me actually. Put average players around great talent, and suddenly they want to step it up...It wasn't earned by them IMO, so whatever. (At least with Ayers). His play still angers me. Hahaha

    Phillips still sucks. Only notable thing he's done this postseason is get a neutral zone infraction. But yeah, they are way better off.

    Our current LBs are likely begging for us to dump them right now.

    Phillips was past his prime and didn't do much, but I didn't understand why we cut him unless we were able to save a decent amount of money. Maybe it was part of the tank (still don't believe we tanked though).

    The Ayers trade was downright stupid no matter what way you look at it. Never trade with the Pats. Never.

    Better we got something instead of him just walking. I still don't know how a productive players gets benched over Wimbley and Phillips but whatever

    We didn't really get something though. Cutting him would've been a better decision, but it was a much nicer thing for us to do to Ayers than just release him.

    Another bottom feeder would've just claimed him off waivers.

    But the difference between our 7th round pick and the Pats 6th round pick is literally NOTHING.

    So far no signs of either Ayers or Phillips, one of these dudes is possibly about to get a free SB ring
