We need better LB's
Marino hates Tannehill. Everyone knows Marino is un come mierda.
Ryan Tannehill has displayed good pocket awareness and mobility in stepping up and sliding within the pocket to elude pressure and extend plays to allow him to throw the ball down the field – solid pocket feel, presence for young QB.
Has size/mobility combination to create 2nd lives for himself, buy time, and make big plays for the offense, while also showing the confidence and presence to manipulate the pocket.
What stands out with Tannehill is his pocket presence. He senses pressure and does a good job of sliding away from it both from the outside or up the middle. While he’s eluding pressure, Tannehill keeps his eyes downfield and body square to the line of scrimmage to deliver the ball after resetting his feet. He does the same when he’s on the move.
Considering that many top college quarterbacks react to pressure up the middle by backing away and breaking the pocket outside, Tannehill already demonstrates that in this respect he’s ahead of the game.
The 2012 NFL Draft prospect has good pocket presence for a college quarterback. In fact, against Oklahoma State in September, Tannehill put on a clinic of what defines good pocket presence.
While Tannehill openly admits he needs to get the ball out his hands quicker, he doesn't plan to change his game.
"Last year I was quick to escape, not hanging in there quite as long. Not trusting the protection, not trusting your eyes [down-field] and escaping the pocket. Moving out to the right most of the time," said Tannehill, who is completing 66.4 percent of his passes, throwing for 827 yards and four touchdowns.
"You cut the field in half and really limit yourself that way. It is something I worked on this offseason, hanging in there and keeping my eyes down field."
Marino was a gunslinger. They're different types of quarterback. And I agree you can't teach instinct.
God, wouldn't Marino have loved Wallace?? But then again, he was always yelling at his receivers to come back to him when he was scrambling, and Wallace would have been in the doghouse more than a few times.

To teach Tannehill 'pocket awereness' and 'quick release' maybe also some leadership skills.
Maybe we can bring Marino in for a Wildcat Package when we need to throw Deep to Wallace when he is wide open running down the sideline, again.
I want to see that just to see Marino rip him a new one for the inevitable drop.
Cant drop it when it is under thrown.
