Marino should work with Tannehill this off seasson

Marino hates Tannehill. Everyone knows Marino is un come mierda.
 
:lol2:

Tannehill ought to hang out with Russell Wilson.
 
First, I'm not sure Marino is a coach (some guys are just natural teachers)...also I don't believe Marino was a student of the game....more of a savant that saw everything in slow motion.

I do hear that this Bill Lazor guy is pretty good with QBs, Maybe Miami may want to think about having him work with Tannehill...
 
Serious question...has Marino EVER thought, instructed any QB since he left? If not then there is a reason and that reason must be that he doesn't want too. I hear a lot of if Marino coached, drafted, ran the front office but I'm not so sure he wants any part of it sans 24 hours a while back.

Seems to me he prefers the notoriety of his TV appearances along with commercials but when it comes to the actual work and devotion of operating a NFL team, he expresses little interest.

Does anyone actually know? has he even coached a pop Warner team? Instructed college or HS QBs?
 
I hope Lazor lets Tannehill play to his natural strength this season (play action, roll outs, etc) after all those years with Sherman telling him to stay in the pocket even as it's collapsing.
 
I think the concerns over Tannehill's pocket presence are greatly over stated. He has been praised for his pocket presence since college. Here are a few examples:

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.

Every article that questions Tannehill's pocket presence only uses the raw numbers. They do not look at the actual sacks and what Tannehill is doing or not doing.

Early last season, Tannehill gave some insight into why the sack numbers were up from 2012.

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."

He was consciously working at resisting bailing too early. He was trusting that his OL would improve and his trust would pay off. IMO, he was playing within the system, and doing what he was coached to do. Unfortunately, the OL never really did improve enough.
 
Yet when the pocket collapses he needs to take off and run for positive yardage, very capeable of making a big play here or there. I don't think he did enough of that on big downs.
 
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.

marino had a wallace, just with better hands and without the female reproductive organ, mark duper.

Wallace would be gone, salary cap be damned. Bad hands was why we didn't have patience for Tony Martin the first time around.
 
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.
