Adrian Phillips......

"Y'all will say anything to bad-mouth us anyway," senior S Adrian Phillips said. "So we're not really worried about what y'all say.
"We're just worried about (Texas) Tech. People are going to say we might have beaten some teams that haven't won a lot of games.

"I don't care. Our team doesn't care. At the end of the day, it's all about Tech and just winning out. Whatever you all have to say is irrelevant."

Phillips is the classic example of how a guy can come here, badly underachieve, and hold on to his spot.

Another quote on the touchdown to Tracy Moore

"I couldn't believe it," Phillips said. "That's not something that happens a lot. You can ask anyone on this team. I rarely miss a ball. So that's why I was hot on the sideline.

Its about so much more than one play, one miss.

OP - Agree with you 100%

I dont give a crap what one of the worst Safeties to every wear the uniform says. Phillips tackles about as well as Tom tackled Jerry.

Putting Diggs at CB, Blake Gideon is the best Safety Texas has had on the field in the past few years.

Edit: 2nd best, Don't know how I forgot KV

Phillips worst quality is he actually thinks he's a good player.

sounds like my old duck hunting partner

"how could I miss that shot?.....i'm the best shot here, ask anybody"

...frustration peaks... let's leave the kids alone. shouldn't this level of articulation be expected? at least he is man enough not to keep covering it up.... sans the head coach...

There is a difference between "frustration" and the self serving culture of entitlement which has been fostered at the 40 acres for years showing up over and over and over again, especially from certain players. Jaxon Shipley gets the benefit of the doubt. Phillips doesnt.

Not sure I believe him. He misses tackles all the time. If he can't grab a man how can he grab a ball.

Compared to last year, yes, he has been better. Is he anything more than average at best, no, he isnt.
