Jokes aside, Jordan has made some big plays and he loves the Bills. He should retire as a Bill. I appreciate his contribution.

While I generally agree, it always mystified me that a DT at his size (listed at 335 last I saw) was so awful against the run

But he's a heck of a pass deflector :)

It shouldn't.  Phillips is a 3T DT in a 1T body.  What floats his boatas a baller is penetrating into the backfield and getting after the QB.

He's had a career-long struggle with the balance between being aggressive against the pass, and maintaining gap discipline. 

I pointed out one incident in one of his previous stints where Tremaine Edmunds got in his face between plays after Phillips being out of position enabled a long run and @Simon quipped if Edmunds is getting after you for that it's really a problem

TL;DR Phillips has always had his issues against the run
