Why was Jordan Phillips, who has Miami’s only sack this season, inactive against Buffalo? He said coaches told him it was performance-based, that “I’ve got to be better” and “I didn’t do what I needed to do in practice.” He said being inactive was somewhat shocking because “I’m supposed to have a big role on this team.”
Joe Philbin says he will stick with struggling Jamil Douglas at right guard. So why can’t Billy Turner get on the field? Offensive line coach John Benton wants his linemen to block with the technique he teaches, and Turner hasn’t done it to Benton’s liking.
“[The issue] wasn’t my production,” Turner said. “Every coach wants things done with their technique. It’s much different than what I did in college, which was straight up power.”

''Practice? We talkin' bout practice?'' These fkn coaches...
Yeah, I get it that you want your players to practice well, but benching them and not playing two young and strong guys who have made plays in REAL games is simply cutting off your nose to spite your face.
And if that is the case, maybe the team should have drafted OLmen who are something closer to want the coaches want technique wise if they're going to be so GD inflexible about it.
This is why the coaching sucks and why this damned team is floundering so badly.
If history repeats itself, Philips and Turner will get cut, go elsewhere, then be highly productive for better coached teams.
