Marino has been working in practice with Tanny over the past month.

Whatever he is teaching him, is obviously sinking in and working.

I think this kid has finally turned the corner.
What better advice to get , than from the greatest QB passer to ever play the game!

I think he is turning the corner.

I certainly hope he is, about time.

Marino's input certainly has to help.

I'm sure Dan has helped some but I'd bet Lazor, his offense, and the stability of the oline have had more to do with RT recent developments.

One thing I have noticed with Tannehill over the last few weeks is his entire persona has changed. He is leading, telling players what to do, being more assertive.

Did anyone notice how he was directing traffic last week....telling players where to line up when they screwed up? he did it and did not get rattled.

He is also much better and more comfortable in the pocket. He is stepping up when he needs to and running out of it when he needs to. He juked a couple pass rushers out of their Nikes last week.

Dan may be helping him get more comfortable with these things as he points out things in the QB room. He is certainly taking on some of Marino's better qualities.

This is actually the one area that I think Dan could of helped him, as far as watching tape and pointing out what he should of done, the coaches could/should do that. Either way, if it starts getting picked up by the national media that "Dan has turned around Tannehills career" there's gonna be friction from it, hopefully it doesn't get blown out of proportion.

I've noticed better footwork in the pocket. He isn't as flat-footed as he used to be. Marino was a master of that.

It could be the simple fact Marino told him he could do it.

I noticed Tannehills eyes look way better, there were times he looked dazed and confused, now he is looking way more confident.

Obviously the early call of run plays is helping him get into the game earlier.

LMAO...

Yeah marino magically told him.....You can do it...Put a lil power to it.

Then tannehill went out and dominated bacause of marino just told him he could do it.

What world are you living in dolfin?

Now if you tell me he taught him a few things as far as techniche and gave him a few pointers and ideas...OK

But the marino told him he could do it its kind of dumb.

I think you watch way too many harry potter movies dolfin.

I bet you tannehill would do even better having a couple of gnomes and magic dwarves playing WR.

Lol. you certainly never said he could do it. I welcome all onto the bandwagon, I've never turned down a Ryan Tannehill convert. But you need to hit the pavement bro.you never once gave Ryan an once of respect as he learned the most difficult position in pro sports with little to no help.
Your opinion has zero cred.

GO DOLPHINS!!!!

I agree, under Sherman, Tannehill always took very big strides or steps. It was good in that he was always well balanced and ready to throw, it was bad in that big strides are not good in the pocket and for avoiding the rush... SInce Lazor got here, his major change was to Tannehill's footwork.. More like a boxer's feet.. Quick smaller steps in the pocket and then set before throwing.. At first it messed up his accuracy, because, he wasnt getting set as well before throwing.. Now he seems to shuffle and then set or throw on the move where he already is pretty balanced because big strides work outside the pocket... His progression in footwork has been a big deal... But it also made him initially go backwards with his accuracy...

At least that is what I have noticed from a layman's perspective...

Also the progression of being able to do more with Lazors playbook.. There is only so much you can learn in one offseason and a few games.. Every game Lazor's offense seems to develop more and more..
