flaming_thumbtack Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 The Kupp comparisons aren't completely fair considering Kupp was one of the most prolific college receivers of all time (given it was at an FCS level). He was a much better prospect that Phillips. titanruss 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Nash Posted May 8, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 (edited) In comparing to Kupp, I'm thinking he means Phillips is a tactician with understanding of leverage, open spots, and decent hands Edited May 8, 2022 by Nash SleepingTitan, Bongo59, GLinks, and 2 others 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenIsLegend Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 In this offense, a good TE and a good slot WR will certainly thrive. Phillips will have immediate impact on special teams, and his route running and blocking effectiveness will likely earn him reps in the slot early.

titaninpgh Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 Big Brandon Stokely, Steve Largent, Ed McCaffrey, and Lance Allworth energy from this guy. Shit maybe even a bit of Riley Cooper in him. SleepingTitan, and cshumak2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLinks Posted May 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 It’s such a good thing we basically got three targets in the draft at two positions. I was afraid they’d only get one receiver. In our situation, they probably got a near-term starter in round five. ChemEngr79 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLinks Posted May 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 Good interview. “Kyle Phillips is your next favorite player.” Good stuff about his route concepts, Chip Kelly’s WR philosophy and what it means to block as a WR. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mythos27 Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 Chester Rogers got tons of looks early on last season. Phillips if going to get a chance to show he warrants more volume. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLinks Posted May 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 It’s clear that from the amount Rodgers played last year, the priority to sign Humphries — Philips has a clear pathway to a lot of reps this season. I think it’s interesting that between Burks, Philips and Okwonko, the Titans will be running similar plays - out of the slot, the H, out wide, screens, flare outs, up & outs, etc., with the same guys. Since they all ran 4.52-4.58, all willing blockers, athletic guys who will bring different traits and skills to the slot, I can see this being a strategic focal point to stress defenses and tip them off-balance. As we’ve all noted, there’s almost too many guys to play the slot. Undoubtedly, Burks moves outside more than he did in college, but they’ll probably have situations where Philips has to play outside as well. I expect this will be for blocking assignments as much as matchup reasons. titanruss, and Mythos27 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
