Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill completed all six passes he threw in the team’s preseason opener against the Falcons, an encouraging start to a big season for him even if we add all the disclaimers about preseason performances being of varying accuracy about future outings.
Those completions came as Miami ran their offense at a quick pace that forced Tannehill to make quick, precise decisions about where to go with the ball. Offensive coordinator Bill Lazor liked what he saw from his charge, especially in terms of the footwork that’s been a point of emphasis for him at practice this summer. Lazor also liked Tannehill’s leadership and said he will keep the pressure on Tannehill to continue building him as a quarterback.
“My job right now is to push him. I’ve got to make it very hard for him out here on the practice field,” Lazor said, via the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. “I heard a rumor that some people have reported we’ve made it hard for him on the field. That’s on purpose. That’s how you build a quarterback. He’s coming.”
Lazor also said he thought the team was better in pass blocking than they were in run blocking. While they’d like to better across the board to field a balanced attack, better pass protection should only help Tannehill grow as a quarterback after getting pressured so often last season.

Ok... i am not going to lie... Lazor is growing on me.... I cannot remember the last time a Dolphins coach took ownership of a players development let alone our QB.
Dammit... I am excited Now... darn you Lazor.. Darn you. I promised to not get too excited just to have my heart squashed throughout the year.... darn you Lazor!!!

Dont go and get a chubby...chubby. :lol:
 
one has to wonder. I know its preseason but Foles looked bad the other night. meanwhile tannehill looked good. it's probably a combination of things such as losing Desean Jackson and maybe trying something new. but did Foles really benefit because of Lazor?
 
Foles was extremely complimentary about coach Lazor when he was appointed. Maybe Lazor had more to do with Foles' development and excellent stats than he was credited for in the media. Maybe it wasn't just Chip Kelly.
Lazor doesn't carry the baggage of Mike Sherman's long relationships with Joe Philbin, Jim Turner (family), Zack Taylor (son in law), Tannehill, et al, he's just here to do a job. Looks like a good appointment.
