This is a moderated phorum for the CIVILIZED discussion of the Miami Dolphins. In this phorum, there are rules and moderators to make sure you abide by the rules. The moderators for this phorum are JC and Colonel.
Question for which the answer is really "It's probably too late to really matter what the answer is"...but I'll ask anyway.
Why in the world can't Tannehill simply throw the ball away vs. taking the sack? Point the tip of the ball in the general direction of one of the receiver's outside routes and throw it a good bit out of the reach of anyone's ability to catch it...that's it.
- save 7-10 yards, since 10 alone seems so difficult to pick up in the allotted 3 downs
- maybe even sucker some DL into getting flagged for a late hit...if you're gonna take the hit anyway, save the sack yardage and maybe get some penalty yardage
I know he doesn't feel the pressure as well as pretty much every other QB, but he curls up on a bunch of them and I'm thinking instead of curl...just chuck it high and to the side.
And, yes, I'm fully aware of how pathetic it is to be dissecting his ability to just throw it away for a 5-year starter.
Sam it was really bad live. I really felt bad for Tanny......The entire Stadium erupted in Matt Moore Chant for at least 30 seconds. You could probably hear it from your house. It was Ugly. I thought I was at a Trump rally and they were calling for Hillary to go to jail.
I was really watching him and I have to say I dont see that original spark he used to have. He looks really flat, hes not reacting and holding on to the ball way too long.
I'm not disagreeing with you sam. He sucked today. But so much is also wrong with this team. The Oline was getting beat like a red headed step child. I mean manhandled. I saw the whole big picture right infront of me from angles you cant see on TV. This Oline was getting Pushed around.
I've never seen worse tackling. Why isn't Zack Thomas in there as a Consultant? Something....anything.......think outside the box. Its pathetic how bad this defense is getting beat on a constant basis. Don't even get me started on the corners and SUH? He gets double teamed on every play. Why aren't we taking advantage of it!?
It was pretty disgraceful all around.
GO DOLPHINS!!!!

From what I read, the whole left side of the OL was out. Sure doesn't help the QB's blind side or the running game, if you want to call what the Fins do a running game.
Tannehill was literally running for his life. The play calling was terrible. They needed plays that helped him dump the ball quickly.not falling back into a collapsing pocket even down.
