Barry Jackson: Solutions for the O-Line and Other Notes

Wow, this sucks:

### The final book on Ryan Tannehill this season: He finished 10th in the NFL in passing yardage, 12th in touchdowns with 24, but 22nd in completion percentage, 30th in interceptions with 17 and 35th in fourth-quarter passer rating.

The No. 8 pick in the 2012 Draft, Tannehill had an 81.7 passer rating, which was 24th and behind four players also drafted that year: No. 88 pick Nick Foles (119.2), No. 75 pick Russell Wilson (101.2), No. 1 pick Andrew Luck (87) and No. 2 pick Robert Griffin (82.2).

It's as if we are going through the Lions' fan bases last couple of years with Matt Millen. Puzzling how he is still employed.
 
Ross is a bureaucrat and is hopelessly disconnected from the real world of pro football. For him leadership is a memo handed out during a meeting. Philbin is his boy because he's just like him. As long as the "plan" looks good on paper it cant fail to his way of thinking. Thats why he is so lost as to what to do, how can a plan that looks good on powerpoint possibly fail?
 
"Some Dolphins players privately believe coach Joe Philbin, reserved by nature, needs to improve as a motivator and in how he prepares teams emotionally for games. The flat demeanor and unemotional “stay the course, don’t get too high or low” message doesn’t resonate with some Dolphins and was reflected in their play at times. And reading to his players off index cards isn’t exactly inspiring."

Ya think?

It's funny how those of us saying the exact same thing, get bashed by others on this board.

Take away his "game over let's heave a bomb interceptions" his passer rating would jump up.

He had at least 3 when the game was out of reach late in the 4th.

I think, unfortunately, that this is "bang on" and well said. Ross probably never has a binder unorganized or a shoelace untied either...

It is beyond my math skills, but what his QBR be if we took the "end of game heaves"? Not just his 4th quarter rating, but overall. I have wondered that all year, but I have no way to calculate QBR.

There ya go. You take away the "three heaves" that were discussed and you get a passer rating of about 84. Personally, I don't think it means much. I prefer to watch what I see on the field and make a judgment. I think he improved a lot this season.

We'll see about year three.
 
So we're going to solely judge him on his successes? Hell lets just write off all his picks and incompletes too.

So would the passer rating of a lot of quarterbacks and theirs count, don't they? If RT is part of the reason those heaves are necessary, and he is, you can't discount them.
 
Miami should have pursued Strief the last time he was an FA.

That said, Ireland (per the article) will go hard after Veldheer & Saffold.

Phins need to draft a Guard (Richardson or Groy) then an OT (Erving if on the board or Moses (UVa)).

Because they have injury history? Heh
 
Think it's unlikely for even a good GM to fix basically the whole O-line in one year.
