I'd really like to know.......

So I keep hearing how Tannehill had bad first half vs the Jets.

1st drive)It couldn't be the the 15 play 9:10 drive that started on Miami's 8 yd line where Caleb missed a 41yd field goal.

2nd drive) Maybe it was the second drive where Lamar miller went for -2 on 1st-10 or the (17 yard pass) to Clay on 3rd and 12, Miller no gain on 1st and 10, (9 yard pass) to Clay on 2nd-10,then no gain Miller again on 3rd and 1 and we went for it on 4th down and 1 and passed deep down field to Wallace?....really????

3rd drive) It couldn't have been the 3rd drive because Ryan had one incompletion and the drive ended where he was hit and threw a bloop int.This drive would have been as solid as the 9:10 drive I suggest looking at this drive.

4th drive) Couldnt be this drive 1-10 L.Miller no gain, then 3 passing first downs in a row 17yd pass to Hartline,15 yd pass to Wallace,13 yard screen to Miller.Back to back 3 yard runs from L.Miller,then 3rd and 1 Clay stopped for no gain.4th and 1 short incompletion to Clay.

5th drive) Drive started on the 46. 1st -10 (ten yard pass to clay),1st-10 incomplete to Clay 2nd-10 (28 yard pass to Clay) to Jets 16.2 incompletions to Hartline one to Wallace Field goal 3-0 Dolphins.Worse drive with four incompletions

6th drive)Started after Jets int at the Jets 44. 1-10 (11 yard pass) to Hartline,1-10 (8 yard pass) to Clay 3rd and 2.Dolphins kicked a field goal on 3rd and 2 with 5 seconds left on clock.

Updated drive 4 in this post and that drive was no gain on 1st and 10 then 3 plus 10 yard passing plays in a row ending in 3-1 and 4th and 1 failures.with a decent running game the game is a huge blowout.

Drive 1, drive 3, and drive 4 were solid! 2 was a run fail, 5 was QB fail, 6 there was no time left.

1st drive 15 plays 9:10 drive that started from the 8 that should have at least been 3 points.

2 was a fail on the lack of run game.We got stuffed on 3rd and 1 passed on 4th and 1 (Running game failure)

3rd was a solid drive that ended with a fluke bloop int

4 ended in another 3rd and 1 stop on run and a 4th and 1 incompletion.(Running game failure)

5 was the only drive that Tannehill would like back.Tanny just didn't hit the guys that were open.

6 was a bonus drive where we ran out of time.


Scroll below and what I see is we miss a power back who can get the 1-2 yards on 3rd and 1 and 4th and 1.

Blue Completion
Green incompletion or no gain
Red positive running play
Pink No gain running play

meh....I would not have referred to his first half as awful but it was not very good. When you dominate TOP like we did you have to get in the endzone. Tannehill didn't receive much endzone help but if you are The Guy then you have to make **** happen. The pick didn't help. Either way he played a pretty good game overall and that's what matters the most.
 
He flat missed Clay in the end zone. He missed Hartline down the field. I think he was trying to throw a back shoulder pass, but he missed it. Either that, or it was a miscommunication. In either case, bad play when we needed a good one. He elected not to pull the trigger when Hartline was open deep on a post.

He didn't have a good first half. That said, I think the fact that he had a bad half and it wasn't terrible is a sign of progress in and of itself. His floor is rising, IMO.

LOL....was not very good....I have absolutely no response to that non-sense..
 
looks good on a play by play sheet or boxscore but watch how many throws he missed. if he was on point Miami has about 30 pts in that 1st half and it is over by halftime.

Okay first off I'm still going to thumbs down your post anyways because you are you. For once your point is valid though.

Bull,if we had a running game we're up by 30-0
 
he missed some throws on 3rd down. Even the drive charts indicate that.

except you ran it very well against the league's best rush D. You CAN run, your OC chooses not to for some reason.

My lord, Nets and Jets...my condolences...:lol:

I don't really like the NBA, I'm more of a guy who follows former Heels in the NBA though I do want to see the Knicks and Nets win. when Lebron goes back to Cleveland you guys can go back into hiding again:lol:

so it u run on first and second down then the qb throws an incompletion on 3rd and 9 its the qbs fault? a bad half? lol OK sure
 
You're asking what Tannehill did wrong in the first half and the answer is 6 points. Don't get me wrong, I like the kid,but his first half performance will not beat most teams. We play in a league of close ass games. IMO the little things that you are overlooking make the difference. Like I said though, I believe in Tannehill more and more .

so the running backs are blameless when it was first and goal from the 5 and couldn't get it in on 3 plays in a row
 
Our offense was horrible for the first half and RT is the leader of that unit bottom line. He isn't excused like many want him to be because he has only played 25 plus games as a pro or whatever the number is. The opinions on him are just too extreme with it being he is or will be elite or he sucks. The fact that there is any debate on his progress says it all. He needs to keep progressing. If he was so great everyone would be able to see it and if he was so horrible everyone would be able to see it.
 
Stop looking at the stat sheet and go re-watch the 1st half. He left a ton of points on the board. Missed open guys for scores. Plain and simple. Moving it between the 30s is great, but he didn't put points on the board.
