2nd-year surge: Kyle Phillips

[swchandler1988]

I'm not sure why I'm so high on this guy..but I'm going to keep defending him until he gets on the field and doesn't do squat. I'm not sure why adding 20lbs of muscle would make you less athletic. Even playing DT at 6'2-6'3 at 275 would make him a good prospect to rotate in on blitz packages where he could be utilized since he's such a tweener. All I'm saying is, knowing how many times Shoop has said he likes to blitz, and seeing how blitzing is Butcher's specialty, I don't see Shoop letting him just waste away on the sideline. Coach Strip recruited him for a reason. The architect of one of the top D lines in the country doesn't recruit a guy he thinks won't be useful.

Is that J. Jones he's up against in the middle photo? Can't wait for Butcher to shut some of y'all up.

Agree with you...He had a redshirt year, after an injury. There is nothing that suggests that he is no good. He will make us all proud soon enough.

Welcome to Volnation, where players are written off as busts if they aren't superstars their freshman seasons. smh

Sometimes it's by just the first couple days of fall camp.

Baby steps. Ha
