There's a lot of Passion in the locker room

You reserve the right , but if the team is playing well below their capabilities, then their underperforming leader has to go first. I never witnessed any professional sport- where the team that is not playing up to their potential- keeps their manager or coach and gets rid of talented players instead. Philbin tried , and tried again , and tried yet again..with the same outcome over and over and over..He failed at his job, so getting fired was extremely justified and necessary. The Dolphins dont have probowlers up and down their roster but with the talent they do have ,a lucky 1-3 was unacceptable. Its not like he didnt get a fair opportunity to right the ship. He got many opportunities and failed.

The ONLY thing I`m swearing to being right at is he needed to go.

 

Well, for one, you stated that " firing Philbin at this point does nothing." Totally disagreed with that. Again, he needed to go and the sooner the better as we wasted enough time with him. And now that that happened, lets see what we got.

 

My question to you is what you see within the tape. Do you see hesitation? Do you see technique issues? Do you see scheme issues? Remember that it is difficult to tell the difference between hesitation due to poor preparation and being overpowered. Read the long post from @KeyFin to see a detailed description of why.

 

The best aspect of each starter on the defensive line is quickness and hustle. Coyle actually has them reading and reacting on at least 40 percent of the plays. That is a horrific misuse of talent. Tell them to attack and penetrate to get more out of them. Coyle called a slant stunt with four down linemen when the offense has six on the line. That is crazy. Predictably there is a hole that two Mack trucks could run through. I do not discount that there may be talent gaps but the one consistent is that it is nearly impossible for Coyle to misuse his talent worse than he currently is using them. His inflexibility is killing us.

If Lazor committed to the run in an unpredictable sequence, the pass protection would be better. When your line struggles to pass protect, the worst thing you an do is abandon the run. I am curious to see if Campbell's challenge to compete leads to better performance. I will have to wait no see.

 

good response, so, lets say we look like a different team out there with cambell, then we'll know if the team was playing with the right intensity to play a football game.

 

not playing well=poorly motivated...not playing well= poor leadership...not playing well=not unified....not playing well = not prepared...

 

your making football all abut x's and o's..if your not as talented you get get men to overachieve, if you have a lot of talent you can get men to play great, just by leading them correctly, practicing correctly, and getting them to play for more than themselves, getting them to play with the proper intensity, focus, for 60 mins that can all come from 1 head coach.

 

I can 2nd your notion about coyles scheme, he was slanting the whole line at times, these guys were running to spots instead of just beating their men and getting upfield..it was a joke what they were doing in jacksonville, guys werent even watching the ball.
