Coach breaks down his thoughts on the interceptions, blames Tannehill for not using his eyes, the OL for not being as agressive as they should in a 3 step drop passing game, blames Naanne for not helping out his QB and fighting for the ball for the picks. That's only a small bit of what Philbin talks about. I think it's a good watch that will generate some conversation no doubt.
Anyone else notice also, on the 2nd INT when cushing was sitting there waiting for the ball, nanaee was just chopping his feet watching him!!! Once the ball is tipped there is no pass interference, if nanaee came smashing into the guy before the ball got there, or as it did, it might have caused it to be an incompletion as opposed to int. dude is a joke.
Heard this yesterday, enjoyed it... Coach Philbin is very honest and a good listen, really liking him more and more
Covers everything we argue about like hens, and he covers it clearly and honestly. Tipped balls are the fault of: 1) Tannehill staring down 1st read 2) OL needing to fire out more aggressively on three step drop plays
If Legedu is benched who takes his place? I like Armstrong, would like to see what Matthews can do as well, or would it be Marlon Moore?
Just want to add, it is refreshing to see a coach give us valuable insight into what happened, not just fluff.
Expect a split of Hartline and Armstrong. Matthews will only earn his way onto the field after the more proven guys have failed. So hopefully, not at all.
Hartline is more of a flanker, Armstrong more of a slot guy. Matthews interests me as he could play either.
AA's problem is beating the jam, something DBess is good at, flank DBess out, AA in the slot, BLine can play the Z Not a bad receiving corps really, it is on THill to get them the ball.
Ok, I'll admit it. After this video, I officially have a man crush on Philbin. I can't remember an interview where a head coach was more honest, intelligent, and succinct then this. I am thrilled that he is our head coach!
I thought Hartline looked good Pod, those two slants were not easy, pure hand catches in traffic, degree of difficult was impressive..wish that dude had a real offseason..Armstrong can get deep , let hart and Bess get the other stuff.. bush, Thomas, Bess, Hart, Lane, Clay..not bad.
Agree that AA isn't good at that... And his recovering shoulder injury can't have helped. I just think you limit AA's opportunities to get downfield deep from the slot. Sure there is some of that, but how much. Also, I want a decent blocker at slot in case I run.
He can split the safeties down the seam from the slot taking the top off of the defense..that would let Bline and Black Ninja eat.
That doesn't mean it's the best place for him. That speed can also be deadly outside. I think you have to assess how much press coverage is being used and then decide. If the opponent has strong press corners and plays a lot of man, and jams a lot, then AA plays slot. Otherwise, put that speed outside.
True, but again, the deep options are less from slot than from out wide. I want to maximize that speed. It looked like his big year in 2010 he was out at the perimeter, no?
i agree with philbin on the 3rd down conversions, probably the worst throw of tannehill was when he missed a wide open anthony armstrong on that crossing pattern, if he hits him in stride who knows what would have happened, was really pissed about that one
Glad you noticed that, if that ball was delivered AA probably houses it he was completely open. That is why I'd want him in the slot.
I maybe unintentionally exaggerrating but I would estimate that Armstrong has had more traditional deep passes completed then our entire receiving core for the past 3 years.
After his total lack of showing up in pre season then that 'lazy' comment Is unforgivable. Hes just taking the pay cheque. Cut him.
What he does IMO is inspire trust that he's got his finger precisely on what needs to be done with this team and will not rest until it's done.
That's because the mediating factor between not resting until it's done and actually getting it done is intelligence.
We'll see, to me the mark of a good HC is guys contribute more then they ever have to the success of the team. For example, Legedu is not cutting it, we all know this, but can Philbin push the right buttons on him so he ups his game? AArmstrong was a castoff, he has had success in the league, can Philbin recreate the successful situation for him?
To me the mark of a good coach is identifying flaws and correcting them. Half time adjustments. Play calling. Or even doing what Sparano didn't, like letting Bonamego go on too long or Henning for that matter.
Not sure what Tony's issue was. At any rate, Philbin seems to be a lend of smart, X's and O's, and passionate about the game and high standards, ddespite a mostly even keel disposition. Also sounds like his staff will teach players to improve more so than Sparano's staff did.
Joe Philbin made a reference to turnovers being the key. When a team has 2 turnovers, they lose the game 80% of the time. Miami had 4. They were done in that second quarter.
Only when a team takes advantage of turnovers like the Texans definitely did. I would never say we were done in present tense. In retropect, sure we were done. But you never know if a team can turn the ball over on the opposing team just as many times that it was done to them. Highly unlikely, but possible.
He's got this quirk about his personality that makes him move his face defensively really fast. Kinda reminds me of Martin Short playing the paranoid lawyer on SNL... That is if Philbin weren't such a feckin' zombie.
