He puts down some good film here against clemson..

please do me a favor and go strait to 4:45...even though he doesn't make the tackle, its pretty special..

he was doubled the whole game, and still made a very good impact on the game..I didn't see any lack of hustle..

gonna keep watching over and over, his tcu tape was uneventful...really enjoyed his combine performance, this large man moves and runs very naturally with some explosive qualities.

he's impossible to move though, just doesn't budge, never goes backwards and seems to read offense very well... I hope that he realizes that extra weight is no good for his back or balance, so if he dedicates himself to the gym and nutrition he could become really explosive...very few times I've seen a man that size run down the field like at 4:55, that was impressive...gives me hope

for a man that size lower body is built nicely, doesn't carry weight there which gives him the ability to move his feet quickly

The play starts at 4.45. Not trying to nitpick you, but the play at 4.55 is a different one. Anyway, I can't believe he is that fast. That was impressive running by the big man. Maybe it's his size, or perhaps he just has long arms/legs compared to his torso, but he seems to lineup a bit too upright. If he played with better leverage, he's going to be a load. Still is, really.

edited...he plays high, but he's tall, and does have very long horse legs.. wondering if the back kept him high.

you playing next to KING KONG SON!! time to go to work.

i mean I didn't want a d tackle with our 2, wasn't even thinking about it, but if this dude gets inspired by suh, were gonna hurt people real bad..

Im gonna say this now, I've looked closely at his body....hes just unfortunate to be born with the spare tire gene..no biggie, the rest of his physique is solid, long, and strong, especially lower body..I would let him drop about 10

hickey said a lot of his production issues was the 3-4 system oklahoma ran.

“That came up a lot and I think it was just the system that I was in,” Phillips said. “You’ll see a lot more plays out of me coming up soon.

“I felt like I was the best pocket presence in this draft as an interior defensive lineman, meaning pocket pressure, pushing the line. I’m a great run stuffer. I’m big and athletic and I can do everything.”

" “I thought I was going to be in Miami the whole time, that’s what I’ve been telling everybody. I’m just happy they gave me the oppotunity and had enough confidence in me to pick me."

Headcoach material wouldn’t want to work somewhere they’re not trusted with actual football decisions.

For those who didn't catch it, here's Mayock on NFL.com, at the moment the Dolphins made the Phillips pick.

Mayock jumps in at 35 secs in.

Interesting final comment from Mayock about why Phillips went in the 2nd round rather than first when you consider the talk about the Phins wanting guys that "love football".

God sent into the world a unique person – neither a philosopher nor a general, important though they are, but a Saviour, with the power to forgive... It is my prayer that on this Christmas day we might all find room in our lives for the message of the angels and for the love of God through Christ our Lord." (Christmas message, 2011)

He played rb/tight end in high school. Fact is he underachieved big time in Oklahoma. There were times where he would showhis dominance and other times where it seemed like he would take plays off. Its a risk, we will find out what he wants to be in the NFL I guess.

Phillips has a huge upside IMHO as he's got the physical size and measurables, and I don't see Suh putting up with anybody playing alongside him taking a millisecond off.

I don't see superstar material but I do see flashes of Randy Starks' ability to get into the backfield. I also see a big guy who likes to sit back at times. If he's the run stuffer Paul Soliai was, he might get away with some of that in the NFL.

Yes he needs to increase the effort. Yes he needs to get stronger.

Yeah, I'm okay with the pick given the talent on the board in the middle of round 2. You have to be happy coming away with a guy you think can be a real factor and not just another guy in a line that contains Wake and Suh.

We'll see, maximizing strengths is one thing, can over invest in units as well b/c it hurts other units.

MOST the people moaning about the pick won't have seen tape on him. He's a first round talent we got late in the 2nd after trading down. Because he isn't a OG, CB or LB people are moaning, apart from Suh & Mitchell we were lacking a rotation guy who can contribute but now Phillips can come in learn of Mitchell and Suh and ball whilst doing so

ColmaxColmaxforum_veteran

From the looks of how things have been with the Dline, Miami likes rotating players. That's why this pick may have been made.

Makes sense to me.

As long as he doesn't have to play against the TCU center, he should be all right. I don't know anything about the center from TCU, but if he is in the draft this year, the Dolphins should draft him immediately.
