End of the Season Q&A with Philbin
40 replies
Some interesting comments if you want to take a look:
On Ryan
Q. As you look at Ryan Tannehill’s body of work, what are your lasting impressions?
JP: Hard worker. Smart guy. Developed. Sees things on the field. Accountable guy. Thought he improved.
Q. If you were him, what would you do this offseason?
JP: First, I would get some time away. When you are looking at a rookie you are looking at a guy that played the college season, prepared for the combine, prepared for his pro day and came to OTAs. You are probably looking at a guy who has been throwing the ball almost since August of 2011 every day. So get away. Second, study the 1,100 snaps you had as an NFL rookie. Study it all. Study your mechanics. Study your decision- making. Study defensive tendencies. There is so much to learn.
An insight to how what they are thinking heading into the offseason
Q. Can you talk about the need for more explosive firepower on offense?
JP: In simplistic terms we know we have to score more points so you have to get into scoring position. It’s harder to have 14-play drives. While they are great and you love to have them, there are a myriad of things that can go wrong in a 14-play drive. The easiest way to get into scoring position is to get takeaways on defense or big plays on offense. We have to create more big plays, whether it is by the run or the pass. We’re heading into the offseason knowing that.
Goals for the offseason
Q. What does Joe Philbin want to accomplish this offseason?
JP: First, I want to evaluate the 2012 season from every single aspect. How we travelled. How we practiced. How we meet. What kind of food we have. What we did in the weight room. We have to evaluate all of the things we need to do better. Second, we have to devise an outstanding offseason program for our players. The rules are such now that you just don’t have a lot of time. We want to have a more efficient offseason than we had last year. And finally, we are going to devise an in-season plan that will help us compete for a championship.
There are some other things in there, here's the link for the rest. http://www.miamidolphins.com/news/article-1/Joe-Philbin-A-Lot-To-Accomplish-This-Offseason/b2090c09-c0c8-4243-b971-dc718f34c5a9
dWreckNew MemberQ. How closely will you work with Jeff Ireland in deciding which players to re-sign and what free agents to pursue?
JP: Jeff is very open. There is a big collaboration. You have to have that to be successful. I’m very much looking forward to working with Jeff during this process.
Somewhat of a given, but interesting none the less.
Especially in retrospect, and now moving forward.

MonstBlitzforum_veteranThe thing I like about Philbin when compared to a guy like Sparano is he has a very good understanding of why things went wrong and what needs to be fixed. He knows what needs improvement. And the things he knows he needs to improve are the things that correlate with winning. Sparano always reacted to losing, but they were usually the wrong reactions to resolve things with very little correlation to winning.
Whether or not Philbin can fix the issues remains to be seen but I'm hopeful.

Agreed. I really like the fact that he flat out said we need to be more explosive and we can't survive on 14 play drives. Whether they get the right players to solve that problem remains to be seen, but at least he's aware of the problem. It's a breath of fresh air from other regimes.

Yeah he seems to have a much more honest approach to the media which is nice for us.
Larry LittlesubscriberI think he needs to come up with a motivational program for the players... possibly involving a metaphorical mammalian predator, and how the players should 'feed it.' :shifty:

This is why I have hope Ireland will draft well this year. Philbin's input and philosophy on the types of players we want at each position.

And now that hes had a year to see what he has to work with (or lack thereof), the input should be weighed heavily and highly valued.... imo.

djphinfansubscriberRyan Tannehill and the rest of the Miami dolphins need to realize that this is the modern game played by exceptional athletes, if you are not improving your speed and muscle to fat ratio you WILL NOT LAST, and you will NOT reach your potential..
You hear me dolphins, take your little vacation, let the body recover, and get your freakin asses in the gym, with a trainer, and get scientific with this sh&$..you'll make that money if you do..

To be fair , that was the case last year and Ireland specifically mentioned his job was to go and get the players Philbin wanted. Still to be determined if that occured last year , but the game plan was the same as it is this year.

He needs to improve his strength and quickness..
Serpico Jonesforum_veteranHard Knocks left me with a really bad feeling on Philbin. He had the brook trout look throughout the entire show.
Berezoforum_veteranI love how he values tradition so highly. That right there, makes me like him all the better.

It's pretty much the same thing Sparano was always talking about as "chunk" yardage or plays. Philbin may end up being better at making it happen (time will tell) but what he is saying now is no different from what Sparano said almost continuously throught the 2010 offseason. Cameron before that as well.

The Gm has to be good as his job, coaches all want the same.
I like that Philbin always seems to be thinking through everything. No detail is too small. I'm really excited to see his development as a head coach. He came from a great organization in Green Bay and saw how to build success over time. Watching the post game speeches, granted they were after wins, the players really seemed to like the coach and reacted well to him. I think he keeps progressing positively.

Yet he presided over a ground and pound style offense. Even the "explosive" WildCat formation was run out of almost exclusively. I mean he started with the weakest arm QB to play in the modern era and then tried to make Henne the same thing. Sparano may have talked about chunk yardage, but did ****all in trying to make it happen.

I see it kind of working out like Matt Ryan did. He will finally understand that he needs to really improve his core and be completely fit.
ckparrotheadmoderatorIt's kind of milquetoast but his answer about big plays is at least minorly revealing.
Big plays on offense and big plays on defense. Wide receiver and defensive back.

I've always wondered if you walk the walk or just talk the talk.

They didn't have a common vocabulary. Now they will review all of the Dolphins players together. Ireland and Philbin will see where their perceptions do not match on some players. That communication helps.
Also, Ireland has said that he and Tony Sparano spoke almost EVERY NIGHT on the phone during Tony's rookie coaching season. That they got on the same page that way. When Philbin came in, he and Ireland had not done that. Now, presumably, he and Jeff have had MANY conversations (hopefully nightly) about team direction, player performance, what the issues are, each of their ideas on how to solve them, player evals, etc.
Like a marriage. It takes communication.

Indeed.
Could you imagine being a fly on the wall listening to Sparano & Henning imparting their offseason wishes & needs? eek.
