### Dolphins defensive tackle Jordan Phillips, who won’t necessarily need to play quite as much with the signing of C.J. Mosley, “can be a better NFL player” than college player. That’s the prediction of Mike Stoops, his defensive coordinator at Oklahoma.

Stoops said teams asked him about the criticism that Phillips would go stretches during games without making an impact. “Jordan would be the first to say he probably could have made more plays and needs to make more plays,” Stoops said.

“Getting his body into shape; that's the biggest obstacle for him to overcome. Coming off the back injury last year, we were sensitive to re-injuring it and over-using him.”

Stoops told me he’s bullish on Phillips’ NFL potential because “you don't see guys that can do what Jordan can do athletically [at 325 pounds]. He can be an every down player.”

Stoops said Phillips is very good against the run and “for a guy that big, his pass-rushing skills can develop. He is just scratching the surface. He’s a great kid.”

"can be a better NFL player" might be far from "motivated to be a better NFL player". I truly hope they are not far apart, but it remains to be seen. If playing with Suh and Wake is not enough to motivate him, forget it.

Dude's a rook, give him space to grow.
 
Yea, a physical freak. Seems soft spoken and rather diplomatic at the core. I hope he doesn't say to the opposing OL, "pardon me, may I assault your QB?"

May not have the fire and intensity to be an ultimate dominator relative to his physicality. We can only hope some of Suh's mean nasty rubs off on the kid.

I'd love to see him belly flop on the Lady in NE. Squish him/her like a jelly donut!
 
Signing mosely should allow him to smoothly transition. Have to like the upside.
 
Reminds me WAAAY too much of Dion Jordan. Extremely talented player who put up average numbers in college who has motor issues does not instill confidence that he is going to thrive in the NFL. If you are not passionate about college football I don't see many players suddenly finding their passion in the pros. There are a few like Cameron Wake but they are the exception that proves the rule. Didn't like the pick then and I don't like it now. Certainly hope I'm wrong but doubt I am.

He better be a game changer from day one or Denzel Perryman better be a bust or this is a pick that I won't soon forgive.

Yup, I'm a fan :up:
 
Going to be an interesting battle for snaps after Suh. Seems that the team did not think him ready for a 3 man rotation this year with the CJ signing. For me, Mitchell was disappointing last year, and I expect much more. Phillips is going to have to earn playing time, and it will not be easy.
 
physically he can be better than paul soliai was in his prime (which took four years to arrive, if I'm not mistaken).

here's to hoping for some early dominance from the young man.
 
I'm loving what our goal line package can look like. OV Mosely Phillips Suh and Shelby. Well you're not running inside.

Misi has always been VG vs the run. With him in the middle, I don't see any team running up the gut this year. Don't forget about Fede, who I do like.

Judging a DT by stats makes about zero sense.

Likely won't be a game changer from day one, few rookies are. And Perryman likely won't be a bust. There's a lot of middle ground between those two options and Phillips and Perryman will likely be somewhere in there.
 
He's like the under study.

Drafting him made sense, hopefully he doesn't come from a family with addiction problems,

at least we know he wouldn't rather be playing for Chip. :boohoo:
