I don't ever remember Clabo being a problem in Atlanta.. Could be Tannehill's pocket

I don't think many people here are going to say that its mostly on the QB. Everyone knows that the OLine is garbage. The issue is that there have been and will be times when RT needs to either read defenses better or adjust somehow because he's not and instead he's getting destroyed.
A few times in the NE game and in others as well, I have seen a blitz coming (yeah ME from my couch) and the kid doesn't audible, doesn't seem to recognize it, even though they are right in his face, or do a damn thing and all he does do is snap the ball and drop down and get sacked 1 second later. The whole time I am thinking, "They are blitzing....you see that don't you? Your going to account for that right?" NOPE.
Here's a blog post by a Miami Herald reporter:
"I watched the game again Monday evening. And three consecutive series in the second half spoke volumes to me about the difference in QB play between Tannehill and Tom Brady. You'll recall in the second half the Patriots came after Tannehill. Well on a third-and-2 situation from the New England 19, the Patriots had a free rusher come at Tannehill and the Miami QB failed to account for that blitzer by getting rid of the football. He took a 9-yard sack and instead of a 37-yard field goal to make the score 20-3, Caleb Sturgis thus had to attempt a 46-yard field goal. The rookie kicker missed the kick. The Patriots got the football and drove to the Miami 14 where on second-and-six the Dolphins blitzed Brady. And Phillip Wheeler got an unblocked run at the QB, except that as he was hit, Brady released a pass to Aaron Dobson who beat Nolan Carroll for a TD. The Dolphins got the ball back and once again, they went after Tannehill. And once again an unblocked blitzer came at Tannehill, who fumbled at his own 13 yard line when he was hit. The Patriots converted the turnover into a TD three plays later.

Clearly not a fan of watching the Dolphins play on TV. Understandable, we have a few that post here.

You must not watch all the games entirely because Clabo is bad. Tannehill needs to improve but Clabo is responsible for pretty much all the sacks he has given up.

i've come to the conclusion that clabo is not the same player. maybe the falcons knew, maybe they didn't. based on what i saw of him in atlanta, he is not the same guy as he was. maybe he is nursing some undisclosed injury, maybe all those years of collisions with D lineman have caught up with him. it happens.
The current iteration of Clabo is the kind of spawn you'd expect to result if Columbo ever mated with Wayne Hunter.
(and admittedly, I was one of the ones thrilled with his signing)

I got nothing against Clabo personally but the dude is flat out done. He's awful. Let's not try to spin this crap any other way.
