J. Phillips one of the most improved players on team.

And he led the team w 8.5 sacks as a rookie. If he’s significantly improved on that then that’s pretty darn good!
 
We need those bone crushing sacks that get QB's scared and off their game though. I love seeing him make TFLs and running down plays sideline to sideline, but we need QBs scrambling and throwing INTs!!

He needs to get better at actually finishing off plays. 43rd in sacks. Pressures are good. Sacks are better.

100%.

Its real nice that he is making the QB sweat but an actual sack is so much more important than a thrown away pass.

It seems like he and Chubb are always a half second too late to finish the play. I really hope it clicks and they start getting the big plays.
 
I see many QB's releasing the ball too quick for anyone to sack their QB. Until we shore up the secondary and coverage to take away these quick throws there will be very little sacks. We had complete free rushers last game where the ball was completed due to coverage. Phillips is a machine out there, tracking down running backs and forcing quick throws so anything deeper does not open up. 6th/118 is pretty awesome when compared to the other 5 names I bet.
 
Phillips improvement was profound. He became so proficient against the run, he helped Miami finished in the top 10. Phillips, Wilkins and Seiler form a solid core who can stop the run, something Miami lacked in previous years.

Phillips displays a very good first step off the snap, which puts him in constant position to pressure the QB.

Phillips has to improve on his sack numbers, in order to take the next step to star status, within the league. 6-7 sacks per year is respectable. But he'll need to improve on those numbers. He's already shown he's got the Hustle, Motor and Will to succeed. Let's hope he develops in creating more sacks, in the very near future.

Nick Bosa right now is in a category by himself.

And honestly, the kid from Detroit might've entered the conversation yesterday. What a gamer Hutchinson is.
 
It does take most guys a few years to hit elite status. He became a force against the run this year! That's huge, now he's a difference, making complete edge rusher. I bet this Offseason prepares him to become a premier pass rush and run stop edge.

Wilkins , Seiler & Phillips are all elite run stuffers. I don't know about Roberts but he sure has looked good out there lately. I can't see any team running on us in the playoffs.
 
I remember as a rookie hearing stories about how he studied the elite. Loved the mental aspect of the game ,how to set up people early in a game to beat them later when it mattered the most. That drive with his physical growth are very encouraging .
