Not only is Adam Gase allowing Ryan Tannehill to change plays at the line of scrimmage, he’s also permitting him to eliminate plays before the game.“When I think about some of the things that he’s done really well, the fact that he’s open and that he makes suggestions and then if he doesn’t like something, he tells me,” Gase said this week. “That kind of communication is critical because the last thing I want to do is put him in a position to where he doesn’t like what I’m calling but he doesn’t say anything.
“But I haven’t seen that because he’s been pretty forward about things he doesn’t like and sometimes it hurts you when you’re calling plays because you really like something and then he crosses [the play] off and you’re like, ‘Ah!’ You know you felt like you really loved that play; but that’s what you need. You need that kind of dynamic because at least you know every play that’s being called, he’s basically checked his box of, ‘I’m good with it. I understand what I’m supposed to do.’ And when a guy is invested in the process, he wants to make a lot of the things really work well, especially when he gets his type of plays in there.”
• What does Gase think of Tannehill’s accuracy?
“I haven’t seen an issue with that since the beginning,” Gase said. “He’s been accurate. I know we’ve worked on some ball placement things occasionally. Sometimes what happens is just getting your feet right when you’re getting pushed in the pocket to get aligned with your throw, so every once in a while, we’ll have a missed throw.
“When you get some pressure sometimes and you have to slide, you may not be aligned. The one thing I’ve noticed with him, and I think everyone knows this, is that he’s not afraid to hang in there. He’ll have someone barreling down on him and he just stands in there and throws it. Sometimes that can cause inaccuracy. I know there are little things that he likes to work on that makes his ball placement better sometimes, but for the most part, I’ve seen a guy that hits his target a high percentage of the time.”

On DeVante Parker: “If he works, he should be unstoppable. He has hands, speed, size. You need bread and butter stuff for him. His hands look really consistent. You have to give him an opportunity to make plays. You have to get the ball in his area; if he doesn’t run route precisely, he still has an opportunity to make a play. He has to learn to get out of his route; the end of the route for taller guys, it’s tougher to bend their knees and bend down – he’s got to learn to get lower in and out of routes. He doesn’t want to give away routes. He has to stay low in and out of the cut. I emphasized that to him.”

And there’s this from CBS’ Boomer Esiason about Sunday’s game: “As a former quarterback, I kind of feel for Ryan Tannehill because he has been under a lot of different systems and there has been a lot of upheaval down there with their coaches. But now he has a guy that everybody believes is the quarterback whisperer in Adam Gase as a head coach.

“Now, there have been some growing pains already and you can see some of the confusion and some of the struggles that they have had in the preseason.

“I would say this is probably one of the most difficult opening games for one of the new coaches in the NFL. I mean, traveling all the way across the country, playing a great Seattle team that still has the speed and the great players that have taken them to the playoffs the last few years under Pete Carroll. This is going to be a difficult, difficult spot for Miami and Ryan Tannehill.

“The question is, can Miami’s defense keep the game somewhat close so the pressure is not all going to be on Ryan Tannehill to make plays against a formidable defense in the toughest stadium in all of the NFL to play?”

This is one thing he gets crucified on these forums for. I'm kinda surprise this is an area of praise, though. I'd like to see him make attempts to escape more, rather than attempting to 'hang in there'.
 
So chris chambers doesnt know that marvin harrison was a much more explosive wr than juice landry? Yeesh
 
Gase giving Tannehill even more power

Dolphins notes on a Thursday:

• Not only is Adam Gase allowing Ryan Tannehill to change plays at the line of scrimmage, he’s also permitting him to eliminate plays before the game.

QBs need to be willing to wait for routes to develop even if they are going to get smacked. It is a fine line between waiting long enough and waiting too long. I think Tannehill is pretty good at it. I see a lot of QBs scramble too early or bail out in the middle of the throw.

Before his rookie season, he was on a Jon Gruden QB camp episode. In one segment, Gruden showed a clip of Tannehill getting creamed just after he released the ball.

Gruden asks "Do you love this?".
Tannehill replies "Love it. Love it".
Gruden, "What do you love about it."
Tannehill, "Bet you I completed it."
Gruden, "Yeah, you did. That's why I like you. I like guys that stand in there and are tough."

lol I remember that, but I agree, fine line there.
 
“The question is, can Miami’s defense keep the game somewhat close so the pressure is not all going to be on Ryan Tannehill to make plays against a formidable defense in the toughest stadium in all of the NFL to play?”

But there will be games like this. I don't expect Ryan to carry the team for 16 games, but I also want to see him in the final stretch of a game, the last few minutes, where it is all on him delivering the ball, and making the smart decisions. I think that's one area he needs to work on to continue growing.
 
I feel like the greats can make plays when the play breaks down. Its one thing to know where to go with the ball but when the things fall apart and you have to use instinct and just make a play, I feel like thats where the greats really shine. Would love to see Thill step that up this year. So far everything is looking and sounding promising. Lets goooo RT17

Wilson's a good example of a QB frequently abandoning the pocket too early.. But he often makes it work.

The only reason I'd want Tannehill leaving the pocket more is he is a fantastic thrower on the move - regardless of what side he's running to. Very consistent mechanics.

it really is kind of scary he's more accurate on the run than in the pocket... on the run he is money

Wilson does give up on plays too early but it is largely by design (IMO). Seattle is making a conscious decision to use Wilson's play making ability to get chunk plays. They risk additional sacks. They miss out on some plays. When it doesn't work, they punt and play defense. When it does work, it leads to TDs. It doesn't need to work that often in Seattle to be effective. They are rarely behind. They have a great running game to keep the defense honest. They have a coaching staff that understands what Wilson has done well and trust him to do it.

Seattle has been adapting their offense to Wilson's strengths for 4 years. Miami is going to try to do that for the first time this season.

Combine that with poor pass protection and you really have to ask why they didn't roll him out more......
