Gase on RT toughness today on Jose Rose show....

[LoneStarPhin]

Q: From the time youfirst watched tape of RT, what’s one thing that has impressed you or you didn’t expector he’s doing even better than you thought?

A: I guess, I don’tknow how many people could have told me how tough he was. I guess until you actually watch a guy gethit the way he’s been hit, you don’t realize how that’s the truth. He really does do an unbelievable job as faras bouncing back.
Obviously we don’twant him taking half the hits he takes, but there’s something to be said abouta guy who’s available every week. Hestands in there and he wants to deliver the ball and he wants to get the bigplay all the time. He’s not afraid tostand in there with guys bearing down on him he’s going to do all he can to getthe ball up and over them and stand in there and take a shot.

After all the punishment he's taken over the years and he still stands looking for the big play.

I'm sorry Ryan Tannehill for all the horrible things I've said about you, I never understood the kind of qb you were.

That's my QB.

It's one aspect of his play that is somewhat taken for granted. Answering the bell each and every week for four straight years plus is pretty impressive.

Look at the problems Miami has when Brandon Albert is out. Great player when he plays, but he can't be counted on for much more than nine games a year.

Definitely something that is taken for granted. He is one tough mofo for sure.

Nor how Philbin ostracized him for asking for more TE protection by saying "Aaron never did." First he assigned unqualified nepotism hire Zac Taylor to mentor him, then Sherman to playcall Henning like predictable plays, and putting the likes of Joanie Martin and Dallas Thomas up to "protect him." Yet despite pissing blood on Mondays, Tannehill took the high road and never even leaked any clue of his dissatisfaction. We've got a classy, talented and tough as nails QB going forward!

And yes, as cited in another thread, despite the naysayers scoffing, Gase could have possibly had Eli or Bradford (back then) as his QB or a totally clean slate in Cleveland.. but he specifically came here because of what he saw in Tannehill.

He's not just physically tough. He's mentally tough. He's been blamed for anything and everything by this fanbase for years and still stays positive and says the right things in his interviews.

It amazes me how people refuse to change their stance whatsoever on Tannehill despite this recent win streak. Just goes to show how much people HATE losing/being wrong. Respect to you good sir, respect indeed. And btw Watson has been killing it since freshman year, looking forward to see what he does at the next level...
