If a pictures worth a thousand words…

its amazing the lack of football IQ on this board. You can't tell anything from this picture. looks like zone coverage and the LBER is right in front of Clay with a free rusher coming off the edge. You have no idea what the down and distance was either. OP, you suck.

I think the only here who sucks is you because you say

:crazy:

To be honest you don't look to bright either.

Plus the OP was there and took the picture. I assume he can remember quite well the play.

Yeah, sorry I can't give everyone exact specifics to watch it themselves without having the game footage to compare to. I'm pretty sure this was towards the end of the 2nd quarter just before the half. Tannehill is dropping back, and his rear foot appears to be on the 12yd line. You can see he has pressure coming from the right (and I'm sure he could see that too), but when he clearly has an open receiver (Clay) directly in his path, who he could throw in front of, he instead telegraphs the pass attempt to (I believe) Wallace, who is clearly not in a position to make the catch and has to try and adjust for it, and ultimately comes up incomplete. Meanwhile, #90 for KC has his eyes clearly on Tannehill, and with Clay already in motion, and a mostly empty backfield, there is no question in my mind this play woldve resulted in an easy 10+ yards.

You can choose to believe me about this or not, but I was sitting very close to the field, not too far off the goal post, so I had a very clear view of these types of mental errors throughout the whole game. It wasn't just that there were open receivers he missed (that happens all the time), it was that combined with poor decision making, where he would often commit to Wallace when a much better option would present itself, and he would seemingly ignore it in favor of sticking to his originally intended target. I'm convinced after seeing just how bad this was in person that the tape doesn't fully reveal just how big this problem really is. You put a QB that knows how to look for open lanes and hit the correct receiver, like Chad Pennington, and we win this game easily.

the look on Charles's face says it all... He is like "what the hell are you looking at? I'm open!"

What he's thinking is don't throw it to me low, high or behind me so a defender blows out my knee like Dustin Keller.......if you all remember we gave Tannehill a major pass on that throw in that preseason game in which we lost a playmaking TE!!!

 

[GreenMts]

I guess you don't see too well. Look to the right, Thill is about to be smashed. Sheesh

This was definitely an agenda driven post by the OP

That's why he should dump it off to Clay.

 

[GreenMts]

Or how about this ... RT scrambles forward for 10+ yards. looks doable to me if clay lays a block on 80.

 

[ohall]

It's still an easy 5 yard completion instead of another incomplete pass. Tannehill refuses to take the chunk yards instead throws to covered guy. If he would take the easy throws that are there like Gibson on the key 2nd and 1 this offense would be a lot better.

lol and if it was a 3rd and 22 play this doesn't change your opinion?

 

[Sarnics13]

Are we really relegated to using a picture of a split second in a game to prove how bad he is....this is beyond absurd. You do realize that within 1 second of that picture everything you're looking at is completely different. You can't see the whole field to see what is going on, other than the fact that he is just finishing his drop, and is a fraction of a second from being drilled.

I'm very frustrated with the lack of production too, but this picture depicts absolutely nothing.

Yeah well that makes all the difference in the world!! HE took the picture himself. Still doesn't mean a hill of beans when the pic is of ONE player and you can't see anything else going on in the field.

 

[Phinatic8u]

I think the kid blows but this is a ****ty example ..

 

[slk018]

with tannehill there is NO progression. the throw was predetermined like most

 

[utahphinsfan]

I've been saying Lazor and been wanting to focus the passing game through Wallace since the first game.

Anyway...if Tannehill throws that pass to Clay, Clay is going to get lit up by #90 who's right there.

So unlike Henne & Chad, RT is not looking to become the next Capt. Checkdown?

I made the 5 hour drive to the game yesterday, and was witness to numerous examples of this, but I happened to capture one of them and figured it was worth sharing. I'd be curious to review this on TV but it wasn't televised here (Brooksville, FL) so I couldn't record it. I'll catch some of the rewind tonight on NFL Network, anyway, there were MANY times in the game where I saw a receiver wide open that Tannehill would completely ignore in favor of targeting Wallace, once there were even two open receivers near the end zone, but I think this pic really captures it.

Here Charles Clay is wide open right in front of Tannehill with room to run, but instead he elects to throw a terrible pass behind Wallace (if I recall correctly, might've been Hartline) which of course resulted in an incompletion. Not that this is a revelation to anyone here, but I thought seeing it from this angle might really help to show just how obvious it is to everyone (except our front office).

Look at that offensive line doing work....I love it....

Hence the rusher coming full speed from the right side, 1/2 a second from plastering RT.

 

[sn9ke.eyes]

Tannehill was bad but this is ridiculous. Maybe he could've scrambled but at this specific instant it's too late to throw to Clay because the defender will be there same time as the ball. The time to throw to Clay was 1.5 seconds ago so the ball would arrive in this frame.

Of course then the crybabies would whine about checking down instead of taking a chance downfield.

 

[Xbrett82us]

This picture isn't really representative of much at all. If he had hit Clay, Clay would have got 5-6 yards max. QBs leave receivers open all the time. Even in this system Tanne has reads he goes through, just like Sherman's.

My issue with Tanne is his pocket awareness, though. He really should be moving forward in the pocket in instances such as that shown in the picture. Instead he's still, painfully immobile as he's making his reads.

If you watch someone like Rivers, or hell even Cutler last night, they've got the ability to know where they are in the pocket while still finding a receiver downfield. Rivers in particular is absolutely incredible at it.
