He really has redeemed himself. I was actually in favour of MIA deal and it didn't work out. Even if they cant win this year they are positioned for next.
The thing to close the loop is ensuring that there is enough of a talent pool like the Travis's(DL) and Pompey's who are cheaper players under control added to vets like Martin, Tulo and JD. Pillar has been a nice surprise in an everyday role. Not sure where we would be without his steady + D and occasional offensive contributions.
