LT Branden Albert: I'm here to protect Ryan Tannehill's blind side

his deep ball is fine. had one of the best deep ball percentages his rookie year, and was good against anyone not named wallace last year. Wallace needs to learn how to catch. some more chemistry is needed, but wallace is the biggest issue, when it comes to the deep ball.

This is just not true.

which part? from 2012-2013 tannehill's 20+ yards to hartline is 48.5%. To wallace is 23.5%. To the rest of his 20+ yard throws to other receivers is 40.0%. His overall 20+yard percentage is 40%. ranked 17th. tom brady, during that same span was ranked 14. Just for reference. So Tannehill forgets how to throw the deep ball only when he targets wallace?

these are all facts. so i'm not sure what isn't true.
 
Wallace and Tannehill were clearly not on the same page on deep balls. Instead of blaming one or the other this is something that MUST improve on both ends.
Wallace proved can get deep on almost any defense. Ryan proved he can throw the deep pass to Hartline and others..
Better protection and a decent running game should give us many more opportunities next year so just get it fixed..

i agree. and something else i have read, is that the playcall (crappy/sherman) was also the problem with some of the disconnects between wallace and tannehill. for example, tannehill doing play fakes, to help not give away where tannehill is going with the ball, is not necessary, as wallace can get past defenders with ease, on a lot of cases. so before that half a second tannehill is doing a play fake, wallace is already where he needs to be. a half second later, and wallace is past where tannehill is expecting wallace to be, and under throws wallace. that's just one example. i believe it happened in the charger game.

yes, i did see tannehill under throw wallace, about as many times as i saw wallace drop the ball, or tannehill over throw wallace, and it looked like wallace slowed down some. I didn't simply say it was all wallace's fault, but i believe the majority of it is his. Until i see tannehill struggle with any other WR going deep, i will continue believing that. especially since he didn't have any issues with going deep his rookie season. I don't believe tannehill regressed on his deep ball in year 2.

You are comparing his chemistry to a receiver like Hartline, with the league's elite burner in Wallace...come on, Wallace progresses MUCH further down field consistently than Hartline, and this is where Tannehill has fallen short...on the big 40 + yard throws. You do not see him attempting bombs like that to Hartline, because it is a rarity that he gets that far down field...that is why his completion percentage is much better with Hartline, the throws are simply more of the intermediate type. However, Hartline is a master on the sidelines and picking up 1st downs, but to compare Tannehill's chemistry to two completely different receivers is far off base.

Do you have any idea how many times Wallace completely burned the CB/S deep to get downfield wide open, only to have to slow down to adjust to the ball and get into proper position? I cannot stand his body catching style of play (I was taught not to do that in MIDDLE SCHOOL, and the guy is doing it at the pro level), but it was FAR from just "Wallace's fault". Re-watch the tape.

Many of those had to be thrown early because of O-line

Not that he was without fault. The biggest one he missed was against the jets in the last game. You could see his frustration and the entire team went to **** after that.

i've compared tannehill's passes to wallace vs all other receivers as well (40% vs 23). Look, all i'm saying is, everyone keeps saying tannehills deep ball sucks. putting the blame mostly on tannehill. And i don't believe that's the case. both have chemistry issues, but i believe wallace is the biggest problem. he's not consistant with his speed, he doesn't try to go up and get balls, he's not physical, drops easy passes, etc.

His deep ball is awful.
 
If you can't see when watching the games that Tannehill is far more at fault than Wallace then I don't know what to tell ya. I'm not saying that won't change with time/better oline but as far as last year goes Tannehill flat out missed Wallace badly on many occasions.
 
No idea where to put thus, but Darlington speculating Fins may take a look at Revis. Hickey reportedly a real big part of bringing him to Tampa
 
The problem is his deepball accuracy.. Not chemistry between RT and Wallace. I can remember off the top of my head at least 5 different instances where he overthrew or under threw Brian Hartline in the 2012 season.
