Putting an end to the Tannehill rumor

[Nawledge]

If im not mistaken the fins got to london on friday...

### Philbin’s final Dolphins practice featured heated exchanges among quarterback Ryan Tannehill and defensive players, according to multiple sources.

According to a player, Philbin has consistently conveyed a message that during Saturday practices, the defensive players should take it easy on the offense and let them execute.

The reports clearly state SATURDAYS practice

Practice squad players have full access to the facility and attend all meetings and practice sessions with their NFL team, but they are not allowed to dress for games or travel to road games.

So there u have it....its all BS

The article said scout team, not practice squad. Supposedly RT spouted off about practice squad money to Chris McCain (who talks a lot of trash).

Regardless I wasn't buying it. But good way to end that nonsense. Good find

It said jonathon dowling picked him off and he made the paycheck comment...google jonathon dowling he is on the practice squad

Practice squad players probably got a special exemption for the London trip? Never doubt BJax.

Multiple sources say Ryan Tannehill had committed a couple turnovers early in Saturday's walk-through and was bothered by scout team defenders intercepting his passes.

During an exchange with linebacker Chris McCain, who picked off a poorly thrown pass from Tannehill, the team's starting quarterback told the defenders "enjoy your practice squad paychecks," a source said.

Apparently the defense was running full speed during a walk through and and obviously caused some frustration. Not for nothing but the walk throughs I remember we would run the same play a few times, so the defense knows it's coming and running at full speed when the offense isn't they have an advantage. I think this was much to do about nothing.

Brady chirps at the defense, practice squad, scout team, whatever, all the time. Fugetaboutit.

Even if it DID happen its not a big deal to me but it seems very, very out of character for tannehill and the link i posted says practice squad guys dont travel

The London game was considered a home game for the Dolphins.

Yeah, not a big deal, but if the D was going full speed I could see where it could tick RT off, heck any QB. What's interesting is when Philbin asked them to back off they pretty much quit...

If he said it to Chris McCain it was probably just **** talking back McCain. McCain has a pretty big mouth.

 

[napsndreds]

the tannehill apologist are definately here tonight... omg where is tannehilll's competitive attitude? I dont want my qb telling anyone taking it easy unless its a guy trying to tackle him in practice. Why is this bothering him from the practice squad guys? how about trying to get better and stop complaining cause right now u suck.

 

[Nawledge]

Maybe they make an exception for the london game but i cant find anything on it, unless cuz they were "home" they got to bring them...i took road games as anything away from sun life but i could be wrong on them not traveling to london. If so i apologize for the thread.

And we had to create another thread for that?
