Kenny Phillips Performance Review vs Jets

S Kenny Phillips didn't quite get a gasser for two bad plays, but they need to be mentioned. One of them was his "Welcome to the NFL" moment when he saw Favre looking to the left and started drifting that way. Favre snapped his head back and fired a TD to WR Jerricho Cotchery that was negated by an illegal shift penalty. Cotchery had gotten behind CB Kevin Dockery, who needed safety help on that one. Phillips had already taken steps in the other direction when he got his first taste of how good Favre is. Later, Phillips laid a big hit on WR Marcus Henry after Dockery had deflected the ball away. If Phillips was looking for the ball instead of contact, he might have had an INT. You don't want to rip a player for being aggressive, but Phillips needs to look for the ball next time.
