He's used the right way but he has regressed into some lazy habits like holding the ball FAR to long and causing sacks and has completely forgot how to use his athletic skills to make plays.
From the raiders game last year on, he wasnt having those issues and was doing both very well. And that was behind a line that set a record for sacks!!
He has also gone to relying on landry far to much (the bills knew he would and shut that down) and not letting his play makers make plays down field. CASE IN POINT: That opening play by the jets where brandon marshall rand down the sideline, deep with grimes hanging on his back shoulder and fitzpatrick through the ball to his playmaker and the playmaker MADE THE PLAY!!
TANNY would have never attemted that throw. He knows his weekness and its getting to him. Unless a guy is clearly open down field, he wont do it. And maybe, like the end of last year, they have taken it out or have him limited on big play throws.
But people are just refusing to see, that as of right now, tanny is a big part of this failing offense. Not all of it, but a good portion. Another thing, i do believe in competition. That is the major fire under a players arse. Tanny has no real competitionfor his job. To me, he appears to be a bit lazy right now. Is it the huge money? I dont know. It happens. Everyone is saying that about Suh right now but tanny is immune. Money didnt relax him a bit to much? Again, i dont know, but you cant rule it out anymore than you can any other instant mega zillion dollar player.
This offense was rebuilt for the big play inthe off season and its backfired. The coaches are reeling right now trying to find a quick fix. This line, the left side especially, is not all world, but, they have given tanny plenty of time for the most part but they cant block forever. As far as i know, Douglas hasnt had a sack or penalty yet. Tanny is causing a lot of his own sacks. That has to be addressed.
Not a popular statement i know, but, it SHOULD be apparent to anyone who tivos the games. Several former players in the nfl and coaches on nfl network and espn that tanny is leaving yards and points on the field and his red zone reads, quote, "are head scratching".
Maybe because he knows he has no competition and with his mega bloated salary, hes more than safe and has reverted to his throw short at all costs comfort zone. Campbells light my fire may work, but again, mega mil salary and a lame duck coach may cause shut ears.
