I still think it was signing Hargreaves and Zac talking about "getting him up to speed".
If that was a motivational tactic to shake Apple to his core, then kudos to Zac and the FO. He's really done a 180 since then.

If you would have told me after the 2016 NFL draft that our Starting CBs will one day be Eli Apple and Vernon Hargreaves I would have been very happy.
They went 10-11 in that draft

Or does Phillps get the call if Chido cant go?
As far as Eli Apple, I'd give this dude a 2 year contract as long as Lou's here.
He's really busted his ass since the bye week and really turned his season around. Props to this dude.
I'd like to see what Hargreaves can bring, personally. We seem to be doing well with guys who were struggling in other systems.
