Tannehill studying Peyton Manning, ready for freedom

[Daytona Fin]

Ryan Tannehill is about to learn his third offense in five years and he knows it won’t be easy.“It’s no cakewalk,” he said of new coach Adam Gase’s offense. “He has a complex system and it’s going to be challenging.”
So Tannehill went to the best source for information — recently retired quarterback Peyton Manning, who played in Gase’s offense in Denver. It was a major endorsement from one of the league’s all-time great quarterbacks.
“He had great things to say about him,” Tannehill said. “I think he’s going go to be a guy that I’m really going to love working with, hopefully for as long as we can stay together.”
Tannehill, who was at the NFL owners meetings at the Boca Raton Resort to participate in a Play 60 event, spoke publicly about Gase for the first time.
He said that Manning really enjoyed Gase’s offense.

Obviously Peyton had his offense that he ran for 16-17 years — whatever it was in Indy — and then a little bit of a blend of it in Denver from the things Peyton did and the things Adam brought in. I think they really found that sweet spot there, that balance of things that worked well.”Former Dolphins receiver Greg Jennings said recently that Tannehill was babied by former offensive coordinator Bill Lazor.
Tannehill didn’t have the ability to audible under Lazor, something he will be able to do under Gase.
Tannehill pushed back on the babied comment but admitted that he wishes he had more freedom in the past.
“I don’t know if I’ve been babied,” Tannehill said. “There were situations where coach Lazor thought it should be done a certain way so that’s what you do.
“There are a lot of different ways to skin a cat and that’s the way (Lazor) thought was best and now we’re moving to a different way. Hopefully you see a lot more success this way. That doesn’t mean this way is exponentially better, but I am excited to be working with Adam.
“As a competitor, as a quarterback it’s something that’s exciting — a piece of the puzzle and I like having the

He said he’s fully healthy after taking a heavy beating late in the season and that he’s no longer urinating blood.

“No issues there,” he said. “It took me a few weeks to get healthy, aches and pains. I took a few weeks off, did rehab and things to get better and I feel 100 percent.”

He said he’s been throwing to Dolphins receivers in his spare time as they prepare for a new offense.

“We’re running routes a little different than we have in the past,” he said. “So that’s an adjustment for everyone — just the timing of getting the ball out on time, the different angles that guys are coming out, different ways where we’re moving on the top of the routes now. It’s exciting for me.”

Despite the fact that tackle-turned-guard Jermon Bushrod was the only major addition to the offensive line, Tannehill believes a healthy line will make a huge difference this year.

“I know that being healthy at the tackle position will definitely help our offensive line play just being consistent, having those guys,” Tannehill said. “I don’t know exactly the number of games but it was like 12 games (last season) with backup offensive linemen. It’s tough to be consistent, it’s tough to play at a high level with backup linemen.

“We’ve added a few pieces to help our depth at offensive line and we’ll see what happens at the guard position whether we pick somebody up or we continue delveoping the guys we have.”

At running back, Tannehill is confident that Jay Ajayi is ready to be a lead back.

“As soon as we lost Lamar and C.J. Anderson got retained by Denver I said, “Jay, hey are you ready? You have to step up,'” Tannehill said. “He looked me square in the eye and said ‘I’m ready, let’s go.’ I think he’s excited about the opportunity to have a bigger role.

Tannehill is really good at "quarterback speak"..if that makes any sense

Abramson also just added this to the story

Tannehill appreciates that he and Gase are on the same page.

“He’s made it abundabtly clear to me that we’re on the same team, he’ll always have my back,” Tannehill said. “And just to have that reassurance, confidence in me is huge. It gives me a lot more confidence and the things I can do and how I can carry myself.”

Pretty obvious that miamis violated the no contact rule if they are already running adjusted route combos

My guess is thills already got his playbook...needs to be careful what he says

Urinating blood, couldn't control his own offense...never complained and always made the start. That's a damn professional there. Say what you want about him, and the haters will, but Tannehill is a tough as nails QB with all the ability to be a top tier guy. Hopefully he is now away from the Go, Go-Go bs and whatever Lazor brought with him. God, wouldn't it be great to see what he can do standing up and having a chance in a good offense.

Its pretty easy to get around that ridiculous rule anyway. Just hire an "independent" coach that "has a feeling" of what the new route combos under Gase will look like.

That part about Lazor was about the best side stepping comment I've ever heard.

RT does his best to dot the i and cross the t. That kind of work ethic and attention to detail is what is needed on this team. I hope he becomes more of a leader.

From reading most of the posts about him he should be studying a list of Drs or specialists in South Florida. He's pissing blood and I read about it here daily

lazor and philbin really were idiots.. to not allow a QB to audible at the line is utterly insane.
