NO running game. NO pass protection. We cant STOP the running game, and our pass defense is weak. Our Linebackers hit like 3rd grade brownies.

Its not all Tannehills fault. But this is the worse he's played.

GO DOLPHINS!!!!

Two things these guys said stood out to me offensively- "Quick", and "a QB who has a tendency to hold the ball too long". They stated the same things that every body else is saying, but I think they put their fingers on two less-stated problems- Tannehill takes too long to execute plays too often, and sometimes hesitates so that he ends up holding the ball too long. Our O-line can't sustain their blocks for very long against anybody, so quick-developing plays are a MUST, especially against the powerful D-lines in the AFC East. Brady proved that's how to neutralize a superior d-line, and I'd think we'd use the same tactics. QUICK!

Sam, it isn't so much that the coaches are unable to teach the players anything....both sides know football. The problem is and has been, the FO just isn't getting the positions that are needed (i.e., OL), and the coaches just aren't running the right plays/schemes for the talent that is on board.

Ask yourself...Suh is on board, which means the opposing offense is going to key on him. What does that do? It frees up our two DEs (and LBers) to get to the QB. That isn't happening. Why?

Suh is All Pro. Wake is All Pro. Vernon has been doing a great job. None of those three have done a damn thing. Why?

Coaches not utilizing the talent they have. FO not getting what is needed. Players, for some reason, not giving it their all. Why?

I don't know. Discouraging!
