If he has no confidence in Ryan , then he needs to bench him , now.
We have seen this since the start for RT. No consistency on the running game. The same for the wide receiving game. Almost forgot the Tight End thing. Absent also. The OL is kind of getting to where it is suppose to be, but is still a work in progress. Can't wait to see the twin center back.
Well, my afternoon slid away and I didn't get to see the game. Family emergency solved, but had to rely on Direct TV to record the game. Just watched it and I'm dumbfounded. I know we lost, but didn't see the outcome, my recording system froze because of the storm that killed the satellite connection to my receiver.
With what I saw, we again had nothing going during the first half of the game. During the second half we finally did something, but that catch by Hartline followed by the "putting" demonstration was damn foolish. It resulted in a penalty that ultimately gave KC good field position and another score.
Miller did better in this game running and catching the ball. Yet, we saw poor play calling. With one yard to get a first down, we try to pass and it goes to crap with Tannehill getting sacked, as I recall. That leads to a punt and a return that advances the ball a few yards closer to their goal line. Foolish mistakes.
As for our offensive, collectively it is a work in progress, and while I can see improvement with the o-line, Tannehill continues to sputter as our QB. Between the poor play selection and Tannehill not making much happen, we are going to continue to lose.
I was under the impression that Lazor was going to implement a faster paced offense. Ain't happening. His play calling isn't working out any better than Sherman's. I'm beginning to wonder about the game plan now and the need to correct at half time. Who is designing the game plan, is it Lazor or Philbin. Something seems to be amiss.
TE play is not panning out. Sims missed an important block after going into motion and when the ball was snapped, he turned back and missed his block badly. Our back was tripped up--great play for KC--crap for us.
Clay has become a ghost with our game plan. A player not seeing the ball; not getting enough offensive playing time.
Well we are 1-2. Just like KC now.
Overall, some improvement but really playing below par. And this isn't golf.
Anyone know what Tannehill's QB rating was for this effort?
hennehill needs to learn how to keep plays and drives alive with his feet.
2nd and 1 he finally leaves the pocket to a wide open field. Instead of just running to get the first he chucks it deep and out of bounds. He could have had 10-15yds running it.
Lets also not forget going for a 48 yd field goal on 4 and 2 . We missed it and gave them the field position anyway . Lamar Miller was eating up the field at that point. WTF do you try for a measly 3 points at 48 yds when its 0-0? This isn't rocket science. Philbin is a douche playing not to lose. I almost hope we lose in England in front of the world so Ross will fire his ass.

Think about it. the score is 0-0 in the first qtr. We are on the 30 something Ydline. We are effectively running the ball. We have an extremely athletic QB who can run the sneak , bootleg do so much.
If you are a PUSSY head coach , then punt it.
But a 48 YD desperation kick with a hurt kicker? really? Score was 0-0. It was the 1st Qtr and he was frazzled and desperate. NOT RYAN TANNEHILL. But Philbin made him that way all week.
