“Part of the philosophy of the offense is to have balance,” said Philbin when asked whether or not he has to have a number one receiver. “We want our quarterbacks to typically have what we call progression reads, where they’re not necessarily isolated on one specific individual. With that being said, we’re going to play to our hot hand and we’re certainly going to strive to create mismatches and take advantage of the guys we do have.” In his more than three decades of coaching, Philbin has learned and then mastered every nuance of the offense in different capacities. He has done his time as offensive coordinator as well as wide receivers coach, even working under Sherman in Green Bay initially, so his philosophy when it comes to utilizing receivers is a refreshing one. “I don’t envision us being locked into Bess is always going to play in the slot or Hartline is always going to play outside,” Philbin said. “I think you want to create a little bit more work for the defense in terms of, ‘Okay, how are we going to match this up when Hartline started outside but he motioned inside,’ and vice versa. We may line up our tight ends as our widest receiver and our little guys inside, so I think you’ve got to have some flexibility formation size. I don’t want us to be locked into a small player inside and a bigger guy outside every single snap.” “We’re looking to develop a good, all-around receiving corps, guys that fundamentally catch the ball well and are precise and disciplined route runners,” said Philbin, who ran one of the most efficient passing offenses in the league with the Packers. “Really the other thing you’re looking for is people that can win against man coverage because you’re going to see a lot of man coverage and press coverage. When push comes to shove football is still a one-on-one game and whether it’s out on the perimeter with a receiver against a DB or an offensive lineman blocking a premiere pass rusher, we’ve got to find some guys who can win those matchups on a consistent basis.” http://www.miamidolphins.com/news/a...ort-Zone/0a0a90d9-5733-4501-9cbe-0760bbbb35cf
 
in other words, your going to see something different every week with no set set. he will adjust at halftime based on what the defense is showing.

Bill Belichick will be ****ting his pants. trust me. Cus this is what he does to other teams.
 
When reached for comment, Jets Offensive Coordinator Tony Sparano offered, "Ya know, uh, I think yous guys, uh, really need more chunk plays, ya know?"
 
Nice read. Philbin is the only thing about this franchise that gives me hope. I do not want to hear from Ireland or Ross, just Philbin. It calms my frustrations hearing him explain the state of the team. That said, we will need some better WR athletes. Marshall was a physical receiver, and he could handle anyone on the field. Now we are devoid of any real talent. The only way Hartline gets separation is by cleverly pushing off. He get caught now and then, but that is his game. Bess can play well inside, but he has a hard time with the deep ball. The other guys have made a play now and then but have not distinguished themselves. We need elite speed and uber confidence guys. Guys like Brandon Marshall, but without the baggage. We definately need to draft at least 2 guys in the top 5 rounds and then load up on undrafted FA players. Hopefully we can find 2 guys to upgrade what we already have.

We should leave Belichick a case of Charmin on the training table in the visiting locker room...
