Playing in a running back by committee setup, Tiernan struggled to get any rhythm during season 1 is undoubtedly unhappy with his performances - ending the season with a quite average 3.7 yards per carry along with a handful of rushing and receiving touchdowns.
In moving to Linebacker, Tiernan expects to be a rock in the centre of the linebacker corps of the Yeti, stopping any inside runs, and shutting down on any slant routes in a fearsome way.
After some exchanges in the media, Tiernan seems to have his eyes set fully on putting a big hit on one opponent in particular - Season 1 pro bowl tight end George Wright Jr.
One of the best in the league at what he does, large and powerful, Wright Jr is a handful for anyman, but Tiernan feels he has more than enough to combat him.
"Well Georgie boy wont be beating me deep that's for sure, I just hope that he runs into my zone during one of the games, cause I want to show him that I won't be talked down to, and want to be able to remind him again and again every time he looks to get the ball."

Thanks for the mention, I look forward to trucking you (if I can)! You'll know where to find me on the field, I'm not exactly elusive.
