Sports Buzz...Joe Philbin's comments after the Dolphins' first day of rookie minicamp

CrunchTimeretired_adminOPThere is quite a few quotes from Coach Philbin
(On whether he saw the deep pass that Tannehill completed in practice) – “Yeah I thought he hit two of them, if I’m not mistaken, the real deep one down the left sideline. Yeah it looked like a nice ball, it looked like it had just the right amount of air under it so the receiver didn’t have to sit and wait for it. It kind of hit him in rhythm, which is important on those deep balls. Sometimes the timing is not right and it just turns into a jump ball, which obviously we coach (our players) to win that situation on both sides… Break it up on defense and come down with it on offense. But, I thought the timing on it was pretty good in terms of the amount of time it was in the air. Again I just think our play seed overall at that position, the quarterback position, is key.
(On Jonathan Martin playing right tackle during today’s practice) – “I like the way he looked like when he bent his knees, he bent his knees very well at the position. I like the way he did that, I thought that his initial footwork was good. We really liked the way in his pass protection he used his hands when he was coming out in the draft. He’s got very good length and he got very good timing on his punch. I think again, Jimmy (Turner) worked those offensive lineman pretty hard, I think some of them were a little bit gassed, so what happens then is your technique goes a little bit and gets a little bit shaky. But I was encouraged with what I saw from him.”
It sounds like it was a fruitful day.The excitement is back in Dolphin football :up:
What are the chances Tanny starts the season and if you dont think he will when do you think he will start ?

Silverphinforum_veteranI'm trying to temper my excitement... I'm REALLY trying. But you know what? I expect great things from our top two picks.
jboogieforum_veteranI really like the way he speaks, seems very honest a direct ,no BS.
Fin Dforum_veteranAnyone else love the fact that Coach Joe is not afraid to talk specifics? Its like he's so much a teacher he just can't help but talk about knee bends and punches.
IMO, the only way he fails as a HC is if our QB's are horribly, horribly bad.

And I don't think there's much chance of that unless there's an injury or he just forces Tannehill in too quickly (and even then Philbin would have to be impatient and just listen to the fans too much). I agreed with CK's statement that it's very difficult to picture Tannehill being any worse than a Flacco/Freeman level QB. I see that as his bottom level of potential, which is to say he has almost no chance of being a bust.

better hope the pull the trigger on getting matt moore outta here then.
djphinfansubscriberPhilbin sounds good, and so does Jon Martin, Guy sounds like a vet, he, Jake and Pounce should be able to form a nice bond and really try to achieve something great here.Jake at 27,with his two young talented understudies, could be an impressive group.

I love the thought of the core of those 3 for the foreable future. Talented, smart, and hardworking... not to mention athletic as hell.

Yeah but is that because of the things the team is doing or is it because they upped your meds?

LMAO. I think his meds are likely that Falstaff beer, and chases it down with some of that Wild Turkey liquor...
