“It’s great to be back,” Philbin said. “It’s great to be on the practice field. When you get into coaching, you have two families. You have your family and you have your football family. I’m very fortunate. We’ve got a great organization here and it’s great to be back.”
Philbin missed the past two days of practice after flying to Massachusetts to spend time with his family following the passing of his father, Paul, last Friday.
“The guys have done great,” Philbin said. “I’ve had a chance to catch up on the practice film. The attitude was good. Our weight room workout today, according to Darren (Krein) and Dave Puloka, was as good as we had. So the attitude was good. I thought the energy (at practice) was good.”
For the players, Thursday was a return to normal with Philbin back in charge.
“It was great having him back,” offensive lineman Mike Pouncey said. “We missed him while he was gone. The assistant coaches did a great job filling in while he was gone, but there’s nothing like having him around the building, the way he goes about himself, the way he conducts himself. We’re just happy he’s back with us and back at peace.”

A quick look at the Detroit Lions roster reveals a name that should be familiar to adult Dolphins fans.
That would be Larry Webster and, yes, the Lions rookie is related to the Larry Webster who played for the Dolphins from 1992-94. The younger Webster played the same position (defensive end) and wears the same number (79) as his father during his three seasons in Miami.
