definitely NOT what you want to see out of our qb who has this year to prove to hickey and philbin that he has turned a corner and fixed his issues and is ready to take his place as the leader and get that big money and extension. this isnt looking so promising though at this point. this is the reports from the practices on tanny and what stood out to me in this report..................... .

Ryan Tannehill overthrows an open Mike Wallace during 7-on-7. Where have I seen this before?
Ryan Tannehill holds onto the ball too long during 7-on-7, scrambles, tannehill overthrows Wallace on deep route.
Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill goes deep for Mike Wallace on 7-on-7...But the ball is overthrown.
Jamar Taylor drops an interception on a Tannehill pass. He jumped the route to Wallace.
Philip Wheeler breaks up a Tannehill pass to Charles Clay, which was telegraphed.
Cortland Finnegan drops a possible interception on Tannehill. ball was thrown BEHIND his receiver.
Towards the end of practice, Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill throws a pick to CB Cortland Finnegan.
The Dolphins conclude practice.
WELL,
THATS PRACTICE ONE. not a good opening for tanny at all. awful actually.
PRACTICE #2:,
SOMETHING GOOD!!!! cortland finnegan stood way out in this report for just the opposite, making plays and big hits all over the field! a couple things i liked from him at the end..... .
Cortland Finnegan has stayed after practice to tutor Jamar Taylor and Rookie Steven Clark.
Cortland Finnegan describes his mentoring of younger players: "I want to leave this place better than I found it"
THERE WAS LOT of big time plays for finnegan in that report. after all the picks and forced fumbles and defensed passes for no gain, he sticks around and tutors the young guys.
hickey just MAY be smarter than we all thought on finnegan! this a great thing as he is an enforcer and an intimidater, something we have lacked in the cb department for years!! this team of grimes and finnegan, if they continue this way can make this defense rise up to a new level and we will cease to see the constant big plays downfield on us, teams throwing and completing at will.
but tanny, man....., yes, we have a ways to go and i know the homers are coming with the "oooh, you dont understand, its a new offense and he will come around and be great".
problem with that is, these are not NEW mistakes by tanny. they are all the ones that have plagued him since day one. these are 7 on 7 drills with no heavy rush!! and this year, with all thats on the line for him, his team, his contract, proving he is a TRUE franchise qb is just like 4th and 10, 8 points down with the ball in his hands at the 20 yd line.. crunch time!! 2 seconds on the clock, time to rise like the true winners do. EVERYTHING TO PLAY FOR!!
and in those situations so far, on the field, he has left a lot of people wondering. this coming into camp and laying the kind of egg he did on day one leaves one to question him even further. his ability to win, when its all on the line as it is now, with his future and career on the line is like getting sacked or missing a wide open wr in the endzone for the win with 2 seconds left on the clock. win or go home and its all on that play. he cant do this during the season or he and the dolphins are finished. the finz another season, for tanny, his career.
mike wallace, once again is open all the time and tanny just can not hit him. what is it with him? mental block? its just plain weird.
