Yep! He has more than enough explosiveness. He just need to learn about the technique and the hand martial arts.

Also the Patriot have had one hell of an OL for years so can’t feel bad for not recording a sack against them.
 
I just went back and looked at every snap he took against the Pats. And 3 things were obvious:

1. He is quick, that was evident on several plays, but his hand placement is not elite yet.
2. He needs to learn to bend more. He was playing with his pads a little too high.
3. He needs more functional strenght, He was double teamed a few times but even when going one on one with his opponent he was over matched.

He is a rookie, and hopefully these are things that he will learn with more experience. But until he does I dont see him getting too many sacks this year.
 
I love seeing this. He’s an athlete for sure. I’d like to see him get lower and play with a little bit more aggressiveness. He definitely has the talent to use multiple techniques successfully. I can’t wait to see him against the Bills line.

Most impressive, however, was how explosive he was off the line of scrimmage. Next-Gen Stats had the Dolphins rookie pass rusher as the fourth-fastest player off the line of scrimmage in week one behind the Texans Jacob Martin, Pittsburgh’s Alex Highsmith, and Los Angeles Chargers superstar Joey Bosa. (Minimum of 15 snaps.)

There was nothing impressive at all in the Patriot game from him. They handled him easily and even put him on his backside on one memorable "welcome the the NFL moment".

Perhaps I've seen a different game.

Or perhaps you, like most fans, have an inflated sense of knowing what you're looking at when you're clueless.

Wow no holds barred with that retort!

I’ve watched the end zone video string of every snap vs NE and I have to be honest it looked like he was almost completely nullified by double teams on certain plays and by how quick Jones had the ball out on others (most). His tangible impact on the ball in that game looked very minimal to me.

That said, I really have no idea about the technical elements to pass rushing! I sure would like to see his hands on the QB today though. And not in a flirtatious manner.
 
If he stays healthy he’s gonna be a beast.

I see you need a hurt feeling report , I believe you can download from it from websites.
 
Phillips is a very talented football player who is playing in his second professional game. He’s going to be ok once he feels comfortable.
