This offense is no better than the one coached under Sparano. They are boring as heck to watch. I do not care if Tanney is a rookie. Luck and RG3's offenses are fun to watch. You cannot become the team you want to be by not implementing the strategy. What happened to the up tempo offense? What happened to the throwing the ball around. We know the team is bad, let the record reflect it. Where are the screen passes, the draw plays? That is what I want. I do not want to see power football although that is what the current talent is designed for. This team should be building on what they hope to be not settling for the status quo. |
The tempo offense wasn't there when Tanny was in during the pre-season either. Seemed like he wasn't able to handle it so every time he stepped into a game the offense slowed down. |
The slow tempo was a concern for me too but the contribution of the refs can't be overstated. They're not marking the ball efficiently let alone getting the calls right. Even just retrieving the ball and clearing a pile is a task. The refs really screwed up the tempo.
Tannehill had some chances to snap the ball but didn't seem comfortable with the protections and plays. He quite-often waited until the final few seconds to snap the ball. Strange to see but he's gotta be comfortable before he pulls the trigger. Chalk it up to experience, I suppose. |

Here's what I saw.
- Loved the play where RT knew he had an offsides on the Jets, took the snap and tossed it deep. Beautiful decision.
- Kick goes through, we win. Kicker lost it. Int's happen during every game. Thats why the kicker gets paid.
- We lost our best player on offense, I wouldn't have went no huddle either.
- We don't have the weapons that Luck and RGIII have at this point. Hartline only became effective after Revis went out.
- Conservative?? We threw the ball into the endzone, trying to win the game at the end of regulation. I can't even remember the last time I saw that.
- Final point. I am really liking Joe Philbin. Wanted him ast the coach when they were interviewing and love him now. ANd if you look in GB, they haven't been in synch since he left. This guy is grooming RT to become an elite qb.
- I am only disppointed because our kicker let us down. We should be 2-1 right now. Things happen. But get this offense some weapons. You can see the possibilities.

Both losses have one staggering thing in common. About a minuet and a half stretch where we stunk up the field with turnovers.
Im surprised how competetive weve been. Once we get the mental mistakes taken care of I feel we will be a half way competitive team this year.
Future looks good.

I think its early to get excited, though I want to believe (I am rather hoping) when we can play 2-3 weeks in a row like Week 2, even if we lose then I will say the future is on the up and up. We still have a long way to go.

Watching this game, i did like seeing Tannehill not afraid to throw the ball and kept his poise all game. After he threw the pick he wasn't afraid to throw the ball but i did see him trying to make a safer throw.

It took me 4 days to get over this and show my face on the forum. Get your stuff together Miami, quit playing games with my heart.

Haha. I hear that completely. Hey, but at least there are signs of hope here and there. Beats last season. |

True, last year's team just seemed like it was going backwords. But this year it seems like the team is headed in the right direction. We are honestly an average team this year. Or at least I wouldn't say we are in the bottom 8 to 10 teams. We should at least be competitive in most games.

I agree with you both!
This year just feels so much fresher and healthier than last.
That said, I like what I've seen from Tannehill but I find it hard to picture what he'll look like 4 and 5 years down the road.
Who do you think Tannehill will resemble if he does work out and play well for us? |

...we finished 6-3 last year. That didn't give anyone hope?

But we still felt like our head coach was a lame duck, and the team had no direction.

This is a clip showing all of Tannehill's throws against the Jets for whoever's interested. Got it from the herald.

Oh, great video! Thanks for posting that. I'd seen a video with a few of the highlights but not everything.
Tannehill got better as the game went along. I actually thought he made good decisions in the 2nd half aside from that one glaring mistake, the INT.
The throws downfield weren't that sharp but as we see more of them called I suspect the connection with Armstrong and Hartline on the vertical routes will get better.
It certainly appears that Tannehill is really hesistant to pull the trigger on some of the shorter routes though. In one instance he'll clearly wait on someone to get open and then on another he'll throw a beautiful pass on a quick-slant. I'd like to see the quicker stuff get a little sharper. Tannehill has to be quicker getting the ball out and the receivers need to do a better job of getting to their spots and looking for the ball. It's really a group effort.
Although we moved the ball down the field to tie it up, I was sad to see that some of the crucial plays were pass interference calls rather than completed passes. I'd prefer to see more of those balls completed. Tannehill missed a couple guys with over-throws.
I started out thinking this was a terrible game by Tannehill but as I said, I think he got better as the 2nd half progressed. His best drive might've been the last one that lead to the field goal just before regulation ended. That's a sign that he's performing well under pressure and definitely getting better results from a slightly more up-tempo offense.
If we're able to keep the hurry-up going, I suspect Tannehill will be able to get more of those 10-15 yard completions to Bess and Fasano that seem to spark the offense.
To me, the obvious thing is the tempo. With a slower tempo this offense appears really abstract and unorganized but with a faster pace and receivers who are able to move more quickly, the ball is able to be distributed to everyone and the defense can't really cue on any one guy.
I liked how we picked up the blitz in there too. If there's one thing that will go without getting enough credit, it's that when the Jets brought pressure with LBs and DBs, Tannehill had plenty of time to scan the field and make a good throw. |
