Former Miami Dolphins Jordan Phillips wants to “rock” Hard Rock Stadium

The Miami Dolphins will face off against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday and it marks the return of defensive tackle Jordan Phillips.

In October the Miami Dolphins had enough of the Jordan Phillips antics and released him after a spat on the sideline with one of the Dolphins assistant coaches. After being released, Phillips took to social media’s Twitter to proclaim that he was free. Phillips was clear that he wanted out of Miami and now as his new team prepares to take on his former, Phillips is running off with his mouth once again.

Phillips told media members that he marked the two December games against Miami on his calendar shortly after joining the Bills. He has been also vocal about his return stating that “Whoever has something coming to them is going to get it.”

Phillips’ career with the Dolphins was dogged with reports of lazy practice habits and sometimes lazy play on the field, effort was an oft used word when describing Phillips in Miami as well as at the college level. Miami didn’t feel that Phillips was on board with what they were trying to accomplish even though releasing him would hurt the depth at the position.

That hasn’t gone unnoticed with Phillips.

"“I feel like most people, when they leave Miami, that’s when their career gets started,” Phillips said. “I’m thankful to be here. Things have definitely turned around since I’ve been here. Fans love me. My teammates love me. I’m happy to be here.” Phillips said via, Rochesterfirst.com."

Phillips may think he has a score to settle in Miami but if his statistics since leaving Miami are any indication, he won’t pose that much of a threat. Since joining the Bills, Phillips has played in seven games. He has two pass defenses and seven tackles with another four assists. He has two tackles for loss and no hits on a quarterback.

Phillips is capable of putting up good games. In Miami he was able to pull it together to make plays but he was extremely inconsistent throughout his three years and four games with Miami. Bills head coach Seam McDermott called him a “work in progress”. He certainly was that during his time in Miami and apparently little has changed.

Phillips is promising to “rock” Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday and knowing Phillips he will have a good game because motivation is something that is hard to find for him on a week to week basis.

His interview with the above website also reveals that he really doesn’t care about anything other than the result on Sunday.

"“I don’t care anything about professionalism, to be completely honest with you, going into this game,” Phillips said. “Once we’re inside those white lines, anything goes. We’re here to win a game.”"

For Phillips it will be interesting to see how often he actually gets into the game as he has yet to start a game this season for the Bills. My guess would be that is named a Captain this week and the Bills should hope that he can motivate himself with a little revenge. If the Dolphins can start quickly they can shake Phillips and it’s likely that his desire to beat Miami could come with a price of penalties. That wouldn’t be too surprising either. Guess it just depends on which Jordan Phillips arrives in Miami on Sunday.
