While I prefer ball-hawks, I have seen DBs who are skilled at preventing completions from doing well. I think former Giant Adoree Jackson could be an example.
Jackson was a ballhawk at USC and fairly good his first couple years in the league. The other concern is that Phillips only had five passes defended last year. His last year at USC Jackson had 11. I hope I am pleasantly surprised but I think his career might be close to Darnay Holmes than to Jackson's.
