Philbin trying different tactics to bond w/his players is the same story we heard last season. And it's just as nice to hear now, as it was then. That's not my concern though. Can he properly prepare a football team for 16 weeks in the regular season? Did he learn when it's appropriate to call time outs? Has he loosened up his coaching style, or is he still conservative to the point of being queasy? Did Joe Philbin learn anything about being a coach is a far more pressing issue than stories about bed checks, movies, etc...

I wonder if he has made the trip down to speak with The King (Jimmy Johnson). He could learn a thing or two about coaching from him. And before everyone goes nuts yes I know Jimmy didn't work out for us. Doesn't change the fact that Johnson was a great coach and even Belichek goes down to speak and learn from him almost every year.

I don't care how he does it. If he has to hit gravity bongs with Reshad Jones, watch love stories with Tannehill, eat chicken and steak burritos with Olivier Vernon, spit freestyles with Lamar Miller, wrestle Alligators with Cam Wake and Suh...I don't care....just win some football games, lets stay healthy, lets win in December, and lets do something in the postseason.

This is the mark of a man who is more concerned for his team than himself. Unfortunately, the gesture will be lost on people who are the opposite.

I'm neither praising nor criticizing this movie thing. I think its value depends on whether the players perceive it as authentic, or just something Philbin read or was told the players would like. If they feel it is contrived and non-authentic, it could backfire. Not in a huge way because I think it is a small thing either way, but people can lose respect for a leader when they perceive the leader is being phony in an attempt to artificially gain their favor.

There's been 5 times as many excellent half time adjustments as there have been bad calls at the end of a game. He and his staff have developed virtually all of the talent on this roster. And most importantly, they reevaluate every year to try and improve everything from scheduling to technology.unluckyluciano and resnor like this. -

I agree CK, every team in the league right now has a HC who is bonding with his players.
My biggest concern going into this season isn't the OL, the secondary, LB corp or any of the other positions on the playing field. My biggest concern is Philbin. Right now everything is great because the team has its most talented team in well over a decade.
I just wonder how Philbin and his players will react when they go through the rough periods during the season, which all teams do. The last couple of seasons the Dolphins just seemed to quit playing for Philbin late in the season. Hopefully this will be the year he proves he deserves the faith Ross has shown in him, but to me he still has a lot to prove as a head coach in the NFL. -
Perhaps it will all come together this season. But right now Philbin deserves his ranking as one of the NFL head coaches who is most likely to be fired if his team doesn't make the playoffs this year. -

Its on the job training at our and especially Ross expense.He is a multibillionaire .Maybe because he is a good judge of people .
I thought Philbin should have been fired but I am not the one to make those decisions and he is the HC of our beloved Dolphins so I am supporting him .So should you IMO.Fin-Omenal and PhinFan1968 like this. -

Ironically, Philbin's nickname comes from a call he made bc he was concerned about the offensive line. What position on the team are fans almost universally most concerned about? Offensive line.
There's talk that the season could be ruined if the offensive guard position isn't addressed in a major way. OG, probably the least important position on the field. So, who's calling who Queasy, is it the pot or the kettle?Fin D likes this. -
So was the flick worth a look?
Has Queezy P given his review?
Are they looking for Guards and a safety during intermission? -

I think what is true is that Tannehill isn't that high on the "game-winning drives" stat: he averages less than 2 per year, while someone near the top of the list will average 3+ per year (leaving out exceptions like RW that have 5 per year). But that's not a reason to say Tannehill's a "choke artist".LI phinfan likes this. -
He's also 0 for 9 at closing out games in the four minute drill when we've had one score leads, which leads to philbin having to try to win games with defensive timeouts, which he's actually been successful at doing several times, he was a perfect 5 for 5 before it didn't work vs Green Bay. Bruce Ariens kodaked vs the Eagles last season and won. Andy Ried kodaked vs the Seahawks last season and won. But the one time it doesn't work for Philbin against one of the all time great QBs he's a moron for even thinking about trying it... -
These are all of our 4 minute drill attempts (its ridiculous we've had so many in three seasons and its even more ridiculous we fail to convert at 100%):
2012
week 4 Cardinals 7 point lead with 3 minutes left. sack/fumble/TURNOVER
week 5 Bengals 4 point lead with 2 minutes left. PUNT
week 6 Rams 3 point lead with 2 minutes left. PUNT
2013
Week 2 Colts 4 point lead with 4 minutes left. PUNT
Week 6 Bills 1 point lead with 3 minutes left. SACK/TURNOVER
Week 11 Chargers 4 point lead with 2 minutes left. PUNT
Week 12 Panthers 3 point lead with 4 minutes left PUNT
2014
Week 6 Green Bay 4 point lead with 2 minutes left. PUNT
Week 10 Detroit 3 point lead with 3 minutes left. PUNT -
We have the LEAD in a "4 minute drill" and we lose and that's on Tannehill....who plays on.....offense?Undisputed and cbrad like this. -
I think it's best to look at 4th quarter comebacks. Tannehill has 7 in 3 years, and the breakdown is 1 in 2012, 4 in 2013, 2 in 2014. So, in the last 2 years he has as many 4th quarter comebacks as the cases you listed.
And anyone who saw how that Mario Williams strip sack occurred in that Buffalo game in 2013 would NEVER list that as a negative on Tannehill.
Point is, success 50% or so of the time (if that's really the correct result) in the 4th quarter is not something you'd say is indicative of a "choke artist" QB. -
Also, against Buffalo Sherman said he called a run and Tannehill changed the play to a pass. I don't mind changing the play but if you're going to do it better understand there is a good chance Mario Williams and the rest of the defense is amped up in that situation, so I absolutely blame the QB (so did Sherman). -
btw.. here are some stats on the 4-minute drill from 2011-2013:
http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stat-analysis/2014/nfls-four-minute-offense-prevent-offense
50% of the time offense punts, and of the 16 out of 23 times they make a FG, no 1st down was made, meaning it was all due to field position. TD's are made only 7.5% of the time. -
Again, and I haven't looked at every QB, but the lest I checked Luck and Wilson had 5 opportunities to close out games in the 4 minute drill between them (if memory serves I believe they converted on them all). So other QBs seem to have way less opportunities, and when they have them they win at least some of the games themselves.
-
And lastly I can't believe the team with the lead wins at 92% I would have guessed it would be closer to 70%
