Just my thoughts on Tannehill
1. Tannehill is having balls batted at the line again. Anyone remember the game vs the texans, his 1st nfl game? Well that was 3 years ago and its happening again.
2. Tannehill got sacked 4 times again today and I have to say at least 3 of those were sacks were not the OLine's fault. Tannehill is getting more more time in the pocket this year but with the exception of the patriots game, we are getting the same sack count. The man doesnt move until he has a Dlineman on him and doesnt throw the ball away. He holds the ball way too long...this brings up 3...
3. For all I hear about tannehill being athletic, he does surprisingly little to have it said. He doesnt move until he has a Dlineman on him. Why doesnt he get out of the pocket a little like big ben and throw on the move? Is philbin telling him not to, or does he get tunnel vision back there. This plays into 4...
4. For someone that doesnt try to move until 8 seconds after the snap when the Dline is on him, he doesnt seem to realize that they are about to get to him. He has some of the worst pocket awareness I have ever seen. He doesnt feel whats going on until its too late...
5. He is inaccurate...This really should be the killer, this should get him sat tomorrow and have matt more in on sunday. Tannehill is bouncing balls off people, throwing them behind, and over throwing them...EVEN Henne had 1 great pass in his 1st starting season (the one to ginn to beat the jets), but in 2 seasons and 3 games, I have never seen the beautiful pass right on the money...Hes bad at short passes (he has no touch), hes bad at long passes, hes bad at timing passes...the only thing he does well is hit WRs coming back to him (heartlines money play) and people have been taking that away this year...
Despite playing in 35 pro games, he has not shown any improvement...
I want him to succeed because Im tired of the rebuilding and I dont see anyone to draft at the 7-15 position this year because we will win some pointless games and take ourselves out of contention for the #1 pick...now the question is, is moore better than him? well if moore was better then wouldnt he be starting over him? Ive also heard moore is not a practice player, and shines in the real games...I think that Philbin is is gone no matter what this year with anything less than the playoffs, and watching tannehill the past 2 games I cant say he is the man to take you tot he playoffs so if Im philbin and there is any thought that maybe moore can play at a higher level, I take it this week...We shall see...
