I suspect it is going to take a stronger personality than Coach Campbell to de-Philbinize the Dolphins. I would like to be wrong about this...but the Dolphins have been playing uninspired football for years now. Tannehill has been overly Philbinized. His lackluster play has been poster-boy Philbin!

Interesting. One of the last things I would say about Campbell thus far is "we need someone with a stronger personality."
 
Campbell will hopefully get the most out of this talent. That is something Philbin could never do.
I am cautiously optimistic and hope the team plays hard for him.
If Lazor and Saundets click we should score more points. This defense has me concerned
 
The OP's trolling aside; a good point was raised about Tannehill's "Philbinization."

There can be no doubt in those of us who watched the Dolphins the last 3 seasons that Joe Philbin is risk-averse to an abnormal degree; I wonder how much of that is holding back tHill's development. For example, I wonder how much he's overthinking the risk assessment of each pass in those vital few seconds when he should be acting instinctively instead. In fact, I wonder if his occasional inaccuracy can be attributed to self-doubt, up to the release of the ball.

In that case, I wonder if now that Philbin is gone he can shed the mantle of mediocrity (and, no doubt, the ever-present threat of benching if he threw INTs) and embrace his inner gunslinger. I believe that tHill can be as good a QB as anyone in the league right now, except for Aaron Rodgers...and better than most. Top-five.

I hope Campbell is more tolerant of risk, and lets Jarvis Landry be a WR and use the speedster that tBaum and Hickey got the team on returns, instead of making decisions out of fear.
 
I dunno if it's just "Phibinization", I think Tannehill's a pretty spooked horse from having zero line for years. He's probably so used to throwing under extreme duress that it's practically habit to get the ball out quickly and forcefully.

LMAO, he's trolling because he speaks the truth. The Phins are going nowhere with this team, they better clean house and rebuild, the only problem was they gave all their money to Suh, that's going to haunt this team for years. Oh damn I must be trolling.
 
But could Campbell be too much the opposite? If he is going to change the culture and emphasize on that - then we need strong coordinators and assistant coaches to focus on daily prep and game management. I wouldn't be opposed to this, as a head coach in my opinion gives the vision and guidelines and the worker bees do the grunt work - that's how these coordinators have been hot and hired last few years. Is Campbell that CEO on the sideline? Will players respond? To me that has been a bigger issue also, the lack of players being inspired and actually playing. Part of it is deep - all these free agents coming here and maybe not motivated anymore. Look at Seattle, all the big money players grew up in the system. So the organic growth is a motivation that if you play hard and work in the system , you will get rewarded. The Phins philosophy has been to bring outsiders in and pay them, partly because we have not drafted well. Frankly, we cannot afford anymore free agents. We have to develop our own players. How many big names do the Pats sign? Splashes? They instead get cheap, young fee agents, castoffs from other teams that Bellicheck sees value in. See once you have that qb, he proves that all you need are role players. And with three rookies on the OL that he is using now, they will be good for a long time and extend Brady's life.
 
Too much made about this. Cambells presence is already de-philbinizing. We simply need good blocking, balanced offense that will run the football instead of being in shotgun 90% of the time getting teed of on all day playing Sherman ball. This offense right now is no different than his. Campbell will force the oc to run to train the blocKing.
