YES! I posted the same thing in the game thread and was told that Tannehill can step up when there aren't lineman collapsing onto him. I don't believe this is true.

I mean you got to try something. Standing there like the slow kid in a dodge ball game isn't going to help anything. Actually dodge ball might be good for him, it may help improve his pocket instincts.
I thought your "step up in the pocket" comment was sarcastic. We're still talking about the play in the first post, right? If he steps up, he steps right into Atkins, no?

Haven't you heard? It's all Tannehill's fault, even when it's not, it's his pocket awareness...
Look at the gaping hole behind Tunsil.
He’d need to hit that hole at the same time he finishes his drop back. That’s some unrealistic expectation you have here I would say.

Tua time!
There’s no chance there. Unless he’s staring at the rush instead of doing what he should do in his drop.
No chance.
He's locked on to his receiver the whole time. Some qb's can see the bull rush coming out of the corner of their eye, I guess it's a special trait. That's my issue w/ Tannehill, there's no elusiveness. Like I said I've seen some qbs escape that situation, bad qbs and good qbs, that kind of play is not isolated to Tannehill only. I'm not saying chances of success are good there but he has got to learn to try instead of standing flat footed and folding up. He's got the speed and quickness, he just don't apply it when he's in the pocket.
I think we all see a bit of what we want to see there;
-Don’t like Tannehill “he should have stepped up”
-Like Tannehill “oline doesn’t give him a chance”
For me it’s a little of both.
What I don’t get is why isn’t Stills running a quick slant there? There is nobody defending the middle of the field!!!!
In my opinion Gase is the real culprit for screwing both Tannehill and the line with his god awful play calls and route designs.
In case you couldn’t tell I don’t like Gase :-)

Yeah to a certain extent. What we saw in the latter stages of that Bengals game was not normal. Sounds like most people around here are not smart enough to distinguish "protection issues" from no protection at all.
Looks like he’s got tunnel vision in the pocket. His awareness sucks.

and people bitching about Gase not doing anything about it have no clue either. It wasn't like he was dialing long developing routes with double moves. We were barely getting off bubble screens and screens to the TE (the play that resulted in the first defensive score)
