Tannehill will be nice to have back absolutely, but he is not the answer to all the problems by any means.
Shula counts preparation and accountability as the keys to his team’s success.
“We just took a lot of pride in being the team that had the least mental errors,” the former coach says. “If something happened in practice—if someone grabbed ahold of somebody else [a penalty]—I would have stopped practice. I would make an example of them. ‘If this happened in a critical play in the game, the play would be nullified, and we’d end up not winning the game because of that.’ You stress to them the importance of doing it the right way. But if you let it go in practice and then it happens in the game, it’s your fault that you didn’t make the correction in practice.”
Watching Shula teams and watching this team is like night and day. Yes some of the penalties should be on a highlight reel for how "not" to call a game but some of those penalties were just flat out 'poor between the ears' category.

Good quote, but keep in mind, what would draw a flag today would have been laughed at back then. Back then you could get away with ALOT more.
just for thought. Watch the blocking by everybody here... but Pouncey.
Pouncey doesn't miss that block and Wanny may have a Matt Patricia avatar right now
couple more here on Travis's page... yikes Pouncey is bad

yeah Pouncey looks done. too many injuries have taken their toll, he is a shell of his former self.

He's never been that accurate and he's been piss poor all year. Cracked ribs mean nothing.
Shula teams were always the best or near the best in the league in terms of being least penalized. I haven't looked it up but am willing to bet the same is true for BB teams. No coincidence these guys teams went to 6 and 7 (and counting) SBs over basically the same time period (15 years-ish). Hard to win when you start every drive at 1st and 20.

I rewatched the condensed version of the game.
- I was a little too generous to Bobby McCain. He's still pretty marginal.
- I was a little too harsh on Laremy Tunsil. Maybe a lot too harsh. He actually wasn't bad. Disappointing considering the expectations, but not bad.
- Mike Pouncey still sucks, and Bushrod is completely washed up now.
- Kenyan Drake is better than I thought. Just secure that football, buddy.

Yes, of course your opinions set the standard. Perhaps you should also be ruling the world with all your vast wisdom and knowledge. So how many people are paying you for your analytics??

That's a terrible example. Bushrod gets no push and ends up in the backfield. If he got any push, then Pouncey would have been in great position for his block.
RB had to cut up because of Bushrod

Don’t need analytics to see that MCCain is a poor corner. Can’t believe I’m arguing about a mediocre player
I was watching some cut-ups of Drake and he does a lot of thing right as a rb. I keep thinking of the types of RBs that would give us fits in the past and he fits the mold. A complete mismatch in the passing game and has an excellent understanding of where he should go and how to hit the hole. It is going to be interesting to see if he holds up health wise and shows improvement with more live reps.

Lock me up! I'm freakin nuts! DVP? I'd trade him straight up for Rishard Matthews. One guy makes plays, the other is DVP. Not even close. One has great talent that can't stay on the field, the other has great desire & can be counted on every week. IDK, our "great WR" corp just isn't looking that way. Between DVP not being able to stay on the field & Landry not knowing the playbook... Great is not a word I'd use for this group. JMO
I dont understand Gase's commitment to Pouncey. The guy has hip problems, he cant practice, and he doesnt execute his assignments.
Is Brendel THAT bad? He looked decent when he came in during the Jets game. (I think it was the Jets game anyway.)
