dave mcbride Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) I thought it might be a good idea to revisit that decision, largely because he has proven now that he's an above-average NFL starting DT. After reading this, I am so glad that Gase is still coaching in the AFC East: https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/armando-salguero/article222300710.html.

Warcodered Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Yeah I mean they cut Jordan Phillips last year, this year he's currently leading all DTs in sacks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted November 18, 2019 Author Share Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) He was a high draft pick too, going in the first half of the second round. A lot of people thought he'd go in the late first. Walter Football was pretty high on him: https://walterfootball.com/scoutingreport2015jphillips.php In this draft scouting report, he's compared to Snacks Harrison: https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2410300-jordan-phillips-nfl-draft-2015-scouting-report-grade-for-dolphins-rookie The larger point is that guys like Phillips aren't always going to be ideal employees, and you have to actually manage them because the talent is there. You can't give up on it. Maybe you trade the player or sit him down, but cutting a talented player like that when you're 3-1 (which is what the Dolphins were after 4 games last season) is just plain dumb. Phillips wasn't his guy -- he was drafted just prior to the last year of the Joe Philbin era -- and Gase's emotional reaction got the best of him (as it did with other players). It certainly worked out for the Bills -- Phillips has been truly disruptive this season. Edited November 18, 2019 by dave mcbride 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Gase is an egomaniac fake tough guy whose players don't like or respect him. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I’ll admit I didn’t think Gase was as bad as people made him out to be. But he seems to have some social issues and is a total weirdo. He’s probably fine as an OC but isn’t a leader of men. Happy to admit I’m wrong and that he’s the Jets coach. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r00tabaga Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 He technically sacked Fitz in Buffalo but because it was so fast, it was just logged as TFL. He should have 8 sacks. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more I see of him, he seems like an introvert who has a decent grasp of the x's and o's, but has trouble leading people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And only should be done if that coach or GM already evaluated the guy in college specifically and in depth, ALREADY didn't like him, then studied his entire pro career in depth, STILL didn't like him, and thought we could do significantly better.

WhoTom Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Quote And this is not about how Phillips will be motivated to play the Dolphins because he’s upset they cut him. Why would be be upset? If anything, I'm guessing he's grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I’m shocked as you are that I was wrong! I do think the Jets season is different if they don’t lose Darnold and Mosley though. But Gase has an awful personality. They are better off admitting their mistake and moving on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not just in football. Happens in ordinary workplace environments all the time when the new boss shows up. And it's not less stupid. I attribute it to insecurity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
