I've re-watched every game multiple times. And while the defense just doesn't just simply FLY one way or the other given the cadence, they are given a VERY important clue. Not to say this clue can be totally taken for granted defense where they can TOTALLY forget about other possibilities, it does make it much easier for them. I do believe this has hurt our o-line. And by NO means am I defending them. They have been sub par and that is being kind. BUT, the sack totals are evidence enough for me and so are the overall struggles in the running game. And for the last several weeks, I do NOT believe it has been by coincidence that our sacks have ramped up later in the games. THIS is especially important because, simply, you have given the defense NOTHING else to consider. SO they just come and get the QB. It's simple and obvious. Why else has Tannehill barely completed drops late in games and getting sacked? Yes, the O-line has something to do with it, but giving the defense an advantage of KNOWING is also an issue. The o-line and the snap count ARE relative. And, IMO, something needs to change. And I will go so far as to GUARANTEE that it would make a difference for us offensively.

Wavering? Come on man. I have not wavered. I was just offering an additional ISSUE. I stand behind EVERYTHING I said 100%. It IS an advantage to the defense to KNOW whether a pass or a run in coming. HOW THE HELL could it NOT be? Seriously?
