Hayden Fox's Assessment Week Three Assessment

This is what blows…last night before bed and when I woke this morning, I am already research college QB's. From Winston, to Cook to Mariota, I am reading up on them. I am researching veteran QB's like Sam Bradford that could be cut this offseason too….and

IT IS STILL SEPTEMBER! It should not be like that.
 
The one situation that really burns me, is the FG just before halftime. We have all the momentum and the ball on the, something like the 2 yrd line. We are at home and the crowd is into it. You have to go for it. That 3 points does nothing for your team in terms of confidence or morale. It's actually a negative. We were forced to settle for 3 points. Philbin/Lazor should have gone for it to show he had faith in the team.

Other points:

1. Does Lazor's offense have any roll outs for the QB?? With all the pressure we get up the middle, a few roll outs can't hurt.

2. Is Tannehill "Forbidden to run" ??? He stands in the pocket too long (mostly in second half) when he could have run for 5 to 10 yards on several plays.

3. Glad to see Fields bound back this week. Last week was probably the worst showing in his career.

On the bright side it looks like we'll have a pretty high draft pick next year!

I agree. On some of the passing plays RT panicked. Other guys were open or were coming open if he waited another second. Did anyone else notice late in the game where the offense stepped up to another gear? Where was that earlier. Philbin is the wrong man to be head coach. He adds nothing offensively, defensively, or on ST's. He was in charge during Bully gate. He is not a good team manager either. Wallace is right...he IS boring. No one listens to him. Coyle..I hate his scheme. I want an attacking man to man scheme. None of this 10 yard cushion of 2nd and 5 stuff.

I think it doesn't add up. Most of the people here say Tannehill is holding the ball too long. You're saying that he should have held it a little longer before making the pass. Seems like he can't get it right...
 
I was strongly in the Tannehill corner 2 years ago, last season I was still 75% on it, and I'm not ready to say never....but we need some real competition for Tannehill this upcoming offseason. Obviously they don't believe Matt Moore would fare much better....which makes keeping him on the roster for 4 mil per season all the more perplexing to me.

I like what Hickey did, you can't rely on rookies to win you games, if your doing that your roster was poor to begin with. I blame Ireland for the state of the roster and I'm willing to give Hickey next offseason to see if he can continue to improve the roster. I think Landry will develop into a top-5 #2 receiver in this league...but that takes a little time.

Philbin. I am way down on Philbin at this point. The team flounders, doesn't play consistently with passion....makes mental errors on a regular basis. Bad timeclock management occurs regularly, and I don't understand when you running the ball well to just up and throw it on 2 and 1. And I just don't see the coaching staff "coaching up" the guys on the roster. Wallace has improved because he's not playing under Sherman's stupidity...but beyond that, how many players that are on the roster would you say are developing under this coaching staff? How many guys have we drafted that are better in year 2 or year 3 than when they were drafted? Not enough in my opinion....I would not be opposed to a coaching change at the end of the season. Philbin should be coaching TE's somewhere.
 
Great job as usual, Hayden.
Trusnick is a disaster and should never start in the middle again. Misi and Tripp are probably coming back next week, that will help on defense and special teams.
Tannehill is regressing, no doubt, beginning to wonder if he is going to end up like David Carr.
The WRs sure don't help their young QB, they seem to be allergic to the ball
Watching Todd Bowles in Arizona makes me jealous and angry
The RBs are good enough, Philbin just doesn't value the running game.
1-2 isn't a hole they can't dig outof , and there is plenty of time to turn things around, but changes have to be made to do so
 
Coach Joe Philbin and safety Louis Delmas both remarked after the game how the units don’t complement each other. That’s the bigggest problem of all right now.

Some other people see this as well. Not sure that's our biggest problem but it's been around for a while like the inability to execute a screen pass or good coverage from a LB.

LMFAO. Ok, that's your best one -liner ... ever.
 
Missed tackles and dropped passes - both aspects having a major impact.

There's a load of other bits, but these are so glaring because of the sheer volume of incidents.

* Jimmy Wilson is awful. Simply awful. You have been calling for him to get cut for a long time and I think its long overdue. At least send him back to special teams where his crazy recklessness can be used to some positive impact for us.

* Trusnik is so overmatched and out of place its ridiculous. I would rather have Chris McCain start at the Mike because at least he can make some flash plays. He would do awful as well because he isn't a Mike but you would still get something out of it ( Sarcasm, but honestly it would be better off with him there)

We've bashed the offense to death, and lost in it is the fact that these two guys were ****ing terrible yesterday. If Trusnik wasn't being washed out of a play, Wilson was completely botching a tackle. I kept looking and sure enough, it was #27 who screwed the pooch.

I don't know if I'd cut the guy, because he's OK as a backup corner, but he's awful at safety. We really should have just swallowed our pride and re-signed Chris Clemons for 4 weeks, IMO.

I agree with all of this and the fact we should have resigned Clemons. Still should tbh
