This offense is supposed to have evolved from the Don Coryell system. Except it looks nothing like Air Coryell or that rolling, rollicking attack the Washington Redskins rode to a Super Bowl in the early 1990s.
This offense looks like a college, pop-gun attack that specializes in 6-yard slants on third-and-8. It is failing in Philadelphia — the evil twin to Miami’s offense — because the defensive coordinators have apparently caught up.
It is failing with the Dolphins. I don’t believe that to be a coincidence.
To make matters worse, the offensive line plays with little to no cohesion. Someone is always holding or getting flagged for a false start. Someone is always missing a block. And it’s not getting better with center Mike Pouncey headed to an MRI on Monday to check out a foot injury that had him leaving the stadium in a walking boot.
Where does this all lead?
It leads to the top. It leads to ownership. It leads to personnel. It leads to a coaching staff that clearly is weeks from being replaced en masse because their audition to win full-time work has failed.
This team is in trouble top to bottom, folks, and I’m not meaning just because it is winless in five games against division opponents. This team is in trouble because no one has solutions for what ails the entire organization.
No one is raising a hand and proclaiming, “I know how to fix this.”
Indeed, Tannehill might as well have spoken for everyone when he made it clear he’s shocked the situation is as bad as it is.
“It’s mind-blowing, it’s frustrating, it’s disappointing,” he said. “It’s tough to find enough words to describe it. I think it’s hard. It’s hard to see and take a realistic look of where we’re at and see why we’re here. It’s hard.
“But it’s on us. We got ourselves in this position, and we can only look at ourselves.”
