Lazor's Offense compared to Sherman's?

Similarities? YES. Play calling: NO! Pace? No! Predictability? No! This guy is a young guy who is at the level of TODAY'S NFL. There will be a lot of differences. Whether they work or not remains to be seen. (I feel like they will work). But he has a stronger grasp of where the NFL has evolved to and isn't hanging on to the NFL of a decade or more ago. That, along with no imagination, was Sherman's problem. And for GOODNESS sake: CHANGE THAT ****IGN SNAP COUNT!!

Having watched a few of Nick Foles games I believe the Eagles run a pretty friendly QB system. How much Lazor incorporates that into his own personal offense I have no idea. He seemed to help Foles quite a bit considering I thought Foles wasnt any good in college to begin with. I never imagined him doing what he did last year. Incredible.

I think we all picture the Chip Kelly offense in relation to Lazor coming here and I don't know how accurate that is. I am however, very excited about what he brings to the table. If he can not help our young quarterback take the next step, I believe he will be able to find someone to bring in and play his style of quarterback effectively.

That isnt any indication of my belief of Tannehill. After being somewhat wishy washy in the past, I have reviewed games and I believe Tannehill is a very good young quarterback with lots of room to grow. In the grand scheme of everything he is probably around top 15 right now, he is still young, and can still get much much better. Im putting all my chips in with him personally if I am the new GM. I believe in 2 years, he is a the bees knees.

Why do you think Nick Foles was not any good in college. He was the second highest rated QB in PAC-10 his senior year behind only Andrew Luck at Stanford.

I am from Tucson and saw Foles play a lot. I admit I am biased but look at the stats from this link.

Also hope we take Ka'Deem Carey from Arizona in this years draft.

Philbin put an offense in place?

The only problem with this on 3rd and 20 a play would be called to send a WR 10 yards short, and Tannehill would throw it to him

Play calling on 3rd and 20 depends as much on the situation as anything else. Unless you absolutely need a score you're just looking for as much as you can get, hoping to get the first. How often do you see that converted? And how many times is it from YAC? Rarely do you pull a 25 yard in the air completion out on 3rd down.
 
I hold out on speculation on this coach. He seems to adapt to his HC philosophy. Which is a good thing. Those thinking he will bring a Chip Kelly offense to MIA, might be the one's sitting here setting themselves up for disappointment. But this is FH, the home of the nicknames of rookies on draft day and the unrealistic expectations heaped on those that are to new MIAMI.

Im not only talking about 3rd and 20, with this offense it also happened with 3rd and 7's and 8's. We've all seen it
 
One thing I noticed in that Lazor intro presser thread, Lazor mentioned RT's "physical play."
Perhaps he might make a push to Philbin to utilize Tanne's legs a bit more? I hope so, cuz Tanne's a pretty solid runner, and that could help us on getting quite a few 1st downs each game.

And once he has a separated shoulder from a design run? Give me a pocket passer who can win with his arm, and not his legs.

two things IMO

1. up tempo like we were promised
2. prepared for what a defense shows/gives you (If Lamar is open in flat, use him. If TE is open on quickie, use him).

It will be interesting to see him call plays however.

I would really like to see the up tempo.
 
Lazor said it was the Miami dolphins offense and he would adapt to his players strengths.

We have all been saying this for years. Finally someone that will adapt.
 
Come'on hooshoops tell us about Lazor stint as UVA OC?

Good? bad? Lack of talent?

My guess is that he will adapt to the personnel, rather than trying the square peg round hole thing.

The offense that Philbin has been trying to install is based on forcing a square peg in a round hole; he has his system set in stone and didn't seem to want to adapt his system to fit the personnel. I'm hoping that Philbin has enough sense to let Lazor make changes, because Lazor will be running Philbin's offense. Sherman was also running Philbin's offense, and when Sherman wanted to run more for a balanced attack Philbin said no (per an interview with Sherman).

Well, the defense that Philbin and Coyle (with help from Ireland) have installed allows nearly everyone to run on that 3 and 20 and convert!
