Sacks Per Game

[BahamaFinFan78]

Tannehill 2.80
Osweiler 2.42
Cutler 1.33
Moore 1.25
These are only Dolphins stats. Most agree three of those are bad, but the fourth...?

Coincidence the O-line has these awful performances with Tannehill at the helm?

It’s not just the O-line, it’s the QB too.

Tannehill is clumsy in the pocket and has no clue how to escape pressure.

In the New England/ Pittsburgh game I watch both QBs face a ton of pressure and Brady avoided it by simply stepping to the side, Roethlisberger actually just broke free of would be sacks and extended plays just enough to throw the ball away.
Indianapolis and Seattle have some of the worst O-lines and Wilson and Luck are constantly running for their lives, avoiding almost sacks and extending plays. Tannehill just can’t do that.

Our line stinks esp with any sort of creative pressure but his pp is terrible

Agreed! His been a 7 year project that isn’t going to take us anywhere be to mediorville

I'd be interested to see his sacks per game pre-injury... although, I'm sure it is still quite high (if not higher)

He waits too late to try and leave the pocket when the pressure is coming, then his vision in the pocket is piss poor, always runs where all the traffic is right into the sack. Or he just runs into his lineman.
Doesn’t help that he can’t identify blitzes, no one can block them, and the coaching staff doesn’t prepare for them. Ultimate trifecta for disaster

Even the tannehill lovers have to admit his pocket presence is horrible and his inability to improvise is the worst I've seen in the league. He just isnt a playmaker, he's a game manager and game manager QBs shouldn't be a franchise starting for 8 years especially without a single playoff win and only one playoff appearance (where the back QB played just as well) .

 

[Bruh Man]

He needs a pocket before we can access pocket presence. He will go somewhere else and be surrounded by a better team and excel

 

[Jimi]

Who do you think would sign him as a starter next year if we cut him?

Yeah every single snap for Tannehill and only Tannehill for 8 years he never has a pocket. (Sigh)

Fales is 1.0

 

[Gonzo]

The sacks in Minnesota were on the line, Tannehill, Drake, Gesicki, and the coaches. They had absolutely no answer for those blitzes and the Jags and Jills probably took note. I’m not going to place the blame entirely on Tannehill, but I’m also not going to place it entirely on the line either, the most popular scapegoats.

 

[AdamD13]

Some QBs have mastered the side-step, step-up and throw away just before the pocket collapses, Tannehill has mastered the fetal position.

 

[Austin Tatious]

I have said it on this board for many years but LB and OG (and TE too) are very underrated positions. When Miami has had contending teams, invariably guard and linebacker were in very good shape. When we are in the range of irrelevant to terrible, those positions are in shambles. Miami has thought they could patch together those units and win elsewhere. That philosophy is demonstrably wrong.

If Miami gets a legitimate football man in at the top who gets this, Miami can be on their way. The teams that are good year in, year out make sure they are strong at those spots. Not passable like Miami treats it as if it were an academic exercise. No, Baltimore, NE, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, these teams want to obliterate you at guard and linebacker.

After watching practically every drafted guard since Rex Hadnot flounder, I am convinced that the most important traits in a guard are orneriness and intelligence. Incognito was mean, but not intellectually coherent. The rest have lacked those traits.

You get upper echelon guards and linebackers in here, and this whole thing will be different. We will contend.

I know nobody wants to say anything nice about Jay Cutler but I noticed week 1 of last year he's much better in the pocket than Tannehill even if he bails too early. He just couldn't deliver accurate passes with bad mechanics anymore (back foot throws).
