The offensive line is perfectly within the normal range. I'll laugh at anyone who doesn't understand that. We are not entitled to perfect protection or the best line in the league. The yards per rush we have managed without much help from the quarterback position in that regard is the best evidence. Last season not one team in the league managed the 4.8 yards per rush that the Dolphins owned entering today.
And just imagine if those shovel passes from Tannehill in the Oakland game had been inside handoffs instead of one-foot flips. That means they would have been credited as rushing yards instead of padding Tannehill's stats.
The Tannehill apologists are wrong and have always been wrong. Brutal understanding of NFL realities, where the Redskins and Giants can be double digit underdogs on the same weekend but control those games physically despite each barely falling short. There is no such thing as an NFL team that is mangled along the line of scrimmage, a team worthy of the type of comically preposterous adjustments that Tannehill backers have peddled as rightful year after year.
I give credit to the posters who did not buckle. There was always an onslaught of propaganda here designed to make them buckle, like the insistence that Bill Lazor was the worst coach in the league and holding Tannehill back. Now many adjusters have attempted the same in regard to Adam Gase.
At some point there is a common denominator. The same linemen who have wraparound sacks attributed to them now can enjoy a quarterback who instinctively takes a step or two forward or sideways. What a concept.
The blank stare needs a new home. Let our adjusters rest, while aspiring adjusters elsewhere finally have that necessary spark
