He does seem more relaxed if that is even possible.I hope he puts a little fire in his boys this year. My biggest problem with coach last year was not having the guys fired up and focused before some very big games. Tampa Bay and the last two games come to mind.
it's a new year so get er done coach P :up:

Need to have fire every time they step onto the field. Play every snap hard.
Have to have faith and confidence that the team will get it figured out.

Other topics Philbin touched on during his appearance on The Finsiders:
• The chemistry between Ryan Tannehill and Mike Wallace: “I think it made strides last year throughout the course of the season. We want Ryan and our quarterbacks to have a great rapport with all the receivers. Our opinion here is the passing game is really all about timing, rhythm, anticipation and that trust factor that the quarterback knows that right as he’s about to let that ball go, he’s got to have a lot of confidence that that receiver is going to be 15 yards deep, 3 yards outside the numbers if you’re running an out-breaking route. There’s a lot of coordination that’s involved in that, there’s timing. It’s a process. We feel like we’re going to see greater dividends this year.”
• The linebacker corps: “One thing we’ve stressed to the entire unit, and the linebackers in particular, we need some more game-changing plays. We were in 10 one-possession games last year. That, I believe, was tied for the most in the NFL and we were 6-4 in those. But it’s tough to go 9-1 in those games. We’ve got to have a couple more plays that really turn the tide faster from a defensive perspective and then obviously we’ve got to score more points on offense. But that’s one of the things that unit, the linebackers – , we’re looking for a couple more game-changing plays.”
• His working relationship with Dennis Hickey: “Every step of the way he’s earned additional responsibilities based on his work ethic and the type of individual that he is. It’s gone very, very well. He’s a real class guy and he’s a real credit to the organization.”
• Knowshon Moreno’s all-around ability at running back: “That’s one of the things we liked about him. He’s an all-around back, versatility, call it what you will. As we all know in today’s NFL, if you only have one running back in the backfield, that defense is going to study that jersey number, so if you have a back line up there that can run the football effectively, catch the ball when it’s thrown to him, pick up a blitz, that gets the advantage back to the offense. That’s the one thing that attracted Dennis and the staff was Knowshon has that versatility. He has a multiple skill set, as we like to say.”
