Phillips....Remember when

[Buff]

People were calling him a bust after 3 games?
People were saying Miami selected the wrong Hurricanes DE?
People were saying that Rousseau was the better pick as he had 3 sacks in the first 4 games?

Well, after 11 games, he certainly looks like he is a star of today and the future.

Not everyone called him a bust. Many of us realised he needed time to develop. Sure some of us were impatient at 1 and 7

I have to say…l was one of those idiots….. So please serve me up some of that crow. He’s been excellent the past few weeks. I blasted Grier for taking him and as of right now….It looks like I was wrong. But let me say this….. I’m happy I was wrong in this case.

We all get some wrong...no shame in that, and no crow required.

I'm finally learning how valuable the "give him some time" thing is.

Very nice game but it’s different when you can “pin your ears”. We were finally able to do that and Phillips flourished.

 

[Fred Bear]

And from what I understand Flores defense is very complicated and takes time to learn and now your seeing Phillips and Holland catching on.

Exactly… I didn’t give him time. If he keeps going like this….He’s going to demand double teams all year next year.

I never say i told you so but as a Canes fan i told you guys so.

After a full season with zero concussions the health risk was over blown .

Smart kid too. Learns quickly and is all about the team.

Hopefully this is the beginning of a winning culture here again in Miami with our rookies playing so well

I'd have to rewatch the game tape. But out of the 5 sacks we got Sunday (Phillips 3, Ogbah 1, Wilkins 1), did none of them come from blitzing? I seem to remember that every time we went cover 0, we got pressures/hits on the QB, but no actual sacks. Did all 5 sacks come from just rushing 4? If so, that's extremely impressive, and further cements this as our best defensive performance of the season.

And now everyone is loving his planters!
