Watch A Breakdown Of 6 Poor Reads By Tannehill From The Patriots Game.

Well you know, Tannehill has always struggled pre snap and knowing where to go with the football. He doesn't see the entire field. He's always had a tendancy to lock on to his first read and struggles coming off of it. He's at his best with half field reads. A lot of times you can help quarterbacks who don't see the entire field well by using 3x1 alignments as opposed to 2x2 - but even that didn't help him.

I don't know what these coaches are teaching the TE's, but Gesicki's technique isn't the way I would teach it. He's never able to come to balance trying to block like an offensive lineman. He needs to be coached to block as if he were a running back. He needs to split his guy's crotch with his outside foot and force him to go around him. You always want to attack the inside leg of an outside rusher - meaning you have your "full" body in line with his inside leg as opposed to only half of your body. The rusher can go either way he chooses if you don't, and you'll lose unless you win the hand battle. That's just poor technique being coached.
 
Even when RT has a solid game, he leaves a lot of yards and points on the field.
Sadly, he’s just not a natural or instinctive passer and after 7 yrs, it’s unlikely he’ll ever be.
Gase was correct, there were guys open all day.
We’ll see how the rest of the season plays out, but anything less than 9 wins and I think we’ll have seen the last of RT in a phins uniform.
 
Man that was painful to watch live. Now it's just a element to show up and coming QBs a what-not-to-do tape. Cause that was some horrid QB play, not even talking about the 3 yrd throws on 3rd & 12+.
 
Love your breakdowns!! Interesting, that's why Gase said grant and amendola were open all game. I thought it might be the play design that was the problem. Looks like tannehill missed reads and throws.
 
Good analysis.

I'm sure RT is watching the film and wonder WTH was he thinking. I know the protection was inconsistent but when that happens, RT sometimes goes into a funk of bad habits. I'm wondering if he is reviewing his bad plays on the sideline so that the corrections come faster. The corrections have to happen live.
 
Really appreciate your work here, for a johnny foreigner like me, breaking down the plays like this really helps me see what went on. Thanks man, some pretty awful stuff there.
 
I appreciate the effort but since you put it out there it’s pretty obvious to me that you don’t understand progressions.

Since the video was provided, would you mind breaking down where you believe he made mistakes? Would be a good learning experience I'm sure for those who don't fully grasp progressions.
 
thanks to the OP for posting. this shows that ryan tannehill is a presnap qb and struggles to read a defense post snap. he decides where he's going with the ball and stares it down. when the primary is open it works and no one notices. but that tends to be against some of the poorer Ds in the league. whens the last time you saw him look off a safety? he could have done that on the grant backside post. probably wouldn't have mattered anyway. the guy couldnt hit the broad side of a barn on sunday. this is a 7th year qb in the 3rd year of gase's system...yuck.

Do we just then not ask Gesicki to block at all ? Since he can't obviously do, why not just get another TE in there on plays where you need him to block, I know that just really makes him a big wide receiver rather than a TE, but if he is not up to not point keep bashing your head against the wall with him until he's coached up enough to be effective, he's a liability on those downs now and may better better off not being on the field.

I’m not trying to throw anyone under bus here but you have to understand coverage and progression better than this and what the pre snap read to post snap verification is.

Most of those throws he’s asking him to skip to the last progression when he doesn’t need to nor should he. And also those route concepts are in sync with the depth of the drop progression based.

Keep in mind also that the protection relative to what the d shows pre snap can dictate progressions. Some times the flare is a primary or a wheel even. How many clear outs do you see on these clips?

He’s also not late with many of these. He’s getting moved off the spot and throwing off an uneven platform multiple times. And yes as a result there was some less than ideal accuracy. But coverage read wise no.
 
I appreciate the effort but since you put it out there it’s pretty obvious to me that you don’t understand progressions.

So Tannehill is good at making reads? Amendola is the 3rd or 4th option every play? His own head coach who called the plays is wrong too? I think what’s obvious is you’re still making excuses for Tannehill
