Philbin: I am going to deliver a product to make you and everybody in Miami proud.

--at Tonight's press conference

---------------------

"When you suck long enough, you get a Hickey"

Philbin: You owe it to the players to get the maximum out of each of them. We are excited to get started & playing like a team

Philbin: I wouldn't rule any position out. You can never have enough good players at any position.

Philbin: You have to marvel at what Coach Shula did here. I have had the chance to meet with several former players to discuss the history.

Philbin: You can never have enough pass rushers. We are looking to develop our receiving corp and add to it with some speed...

Philbin: We are going to highlight some high character players to be part of this team that you all can be proud of.


Philbin: We have 8 picks and we are not going to close the door on any position. There are a lot of things that can happen...

Philbin: We have to get the guys who are here under contract to play up to their potential.

"When you suck long enough, you get a Hickey"

A really encouraging one (for me):

Philbin said he'll be more versatile in use of Reggie Bush. "Possibly some at WR .. in different formations."

what, nothing about failing forward fast?
well, hopefully he lets his assistants coach the final preseason game so he can evaluate them from the press box.

I could have sworn Dolfanmark said speed wasnt part of WR in Philbins WCO system... Philbin is wrong and Dolfanmark is right... Philbin needs to take better notes....lol

No, Mark said quickness and precise route running were essential to the WCO.

Nope. Speed is more important in the WCO offense than size is. That's what I said. And it was one of the reasons that Marshall no longer fit in this system.

After reading how out of shape our team was last year it's no wonder we started so poorly.

Karlos Dansby...25 lbs overweight? what a joke! You mean to tell me the 43 mil/22 guarantee contract he got wasn't motivating enough for him to work out on his own? He's supposed to be a vet leader. jergoff.

The good news is that we will be in shape this year and we probably weren't as bad as we thought we were last year...Even with Matt Moore at the helm.

Started 0-7 and out of shape and finshed 6-3. That should translate to a 10 or 11 win season. Hope hope. Sure we lost Marshall but we can make up for that. Ireland needs one hell of a draft this year and we will back in the thick of things. WR, TE, DE, OL, S.

Dansby you and every other grown ass millionaire who didn't report in shape....suck.

Even Brandon Marshall the manchild reported in shape. Ridiculous.

The Dansby thing was pretty surprising, especially when he admitted it. It was about midseason, and he was asked why his play had gotten so much better. And he basically said, I lost 25 lbs and got back to my regularly playing weight of 245. So, a defensive captain, with a huge contract, shows up at 270 lbs when his playing weight is 245? There simply is not an excuse for a pro athlete to put on that much weight.

Given his nagging injuries the last two years, and last year's weight gain, and his inflated vision of himself (he has repeatedly called himself the best LB in the league), I am quite sure this is his last year in a Phins' uniform. I think he'd have been gone this year, but there is no cap savings for cutting him. In fact, the way his contract is structured, it costs us more money to cut him this year than to keep him. His cap hit this year is over $12M, but it's the last year of his guaranteed money. Once that is off the books, unless he is willing to restructure for a lot less money, he is history. So, that's something to keep in mind, that they may be shopping for his replacement in this draft.

Or trade him and draft a strong side pass rusher and move Misi inside. He is violent enough. lol

So many FA underacheivers in Miami over the years.

Sure, violent, ala Brian Cox. He'd probably be as good (or bad) as Cox as well.

Unfortunately, this guy has no idea what is in store for him. I wish him luck, he is going to need it

Players got better under shula, and I hope we see that for a change again in Miami under Philbin, Sherman, Koyle ...

A team that does that well succeeds ...
