Can anyone tell me why we never attempt this. We don't have to do it all the time but you think we can not be so vanilla.

I dont get it either. We have a pro bowl center and never try this when we need to pick up a yard or even a few inches. Doesn't make sense to me
It would help to keep drives alive.

Cause Miami is always in the shotgun. I wish they would mix it up more.

I hate everyone else in the AFC East
Everyone would know we are doing it. We are never under center. Ever! Would be nice to have the formation in our playbook.

I was thinking this same thing as we lined up on 4th and 1 with Damian freaking Williams in the backfield. WAKE the F up coaches!

QBs that fumbled more than Tannehill last year: Luck, Cutler, Wilson, Rodgers, McCown, Carr. QBs that fumbled the same amount: Roethlisberger, RG3, Newton. He also runs the ball more than many of those QBs.

IMO Tannehill is never under center because we don't have a running game.

Teams that run a power based running attack seem to run a lot more quarterback sneaks than zone blocking teams. When your line is geared on speed and technique, asking them to just over power defenders in a short yardage situation isn't as effective as it would be with five bulldozers.
Or is it that we dont have a running game because Tannehill is never under center???
I have a sneaky suspicion that Miami kept it vanilla on purpose. You always want to win a game and put your best foot forward but in the context of our opening season schedule, ie, buffalo and nyj around the corner, I wouldn't put it past them to have reserved some of our more dynamic formations and pass players for those matchups.
At least that's what I keep telling myself, you don't want to blow your load on the Skins/Jags.
I suspect that next week will be more of the same with the possibility of introducing Parker into some red zone action in the hopes that he can find his niche for the first half of the season.
It's not just Parker that's new though, Stills, Jennings, Cameron played their first games are Fins, and even the elder statesman of the bunch, Rishard Mathews has been a mostly mop up duty guy.
Parker and Stills got virtually no training camp work in with Tannehill. if we don't see progress coming out of the bye I will be worried but winning ugly until then is fine bye me.
