We do have depth back there but we'll miss Anthony Reddick, he's a good football player. Phillips played 19 snaps against Florida State and had one mental error so he's ready.

confidence encouraged frank fun knees major playing reason unless year
I've really been encouraged with Frank and what he's done. He's having a lot of fun and playing with a lot of confidence. I really see more confidence in his knees now than I did a year ago. From what I've seen, unless there's a major setback, I don't see any reason why he wouldn't play.

I've been pleasantly surprised with him. He's done a great job. I thought he could be a good player, but the way he handles his body ... he's a big guy and he's out there switching his hips, being able to maneuver, covering smaller receivers. I've been very impressed.
