Will Tannehill Survive The Season Without Serious Injury?

No. I am fairly certain that something life threatening will happen to him soon. At least career ending. Maybe a meteor crashes into the stadium on Sunday.





I can't believe this thread exists.

 

In the land of honey boo-boo this thread surprises you.

 

You only have two options, yes or no? My vote goes to "I don't know."

 

Into. ...plowed into by a defensive player....

What you said has different meaning where I come from. For example: Lucky's boyfriend has been plowed by every college guy looking to experiment.

Hmm, you know, now that I think of it.....its exactly the same thing, never mind.

probably not, our OL is ***

 

He'll be fine.

 

This thread holds water. Its a legitimate question at the rate he's getting hit. I should've voted no because the injury Tannehil is going to lay on opposing defenses but I voted too quickly.

I'll say this, I won't put it all on the oline. Tannehil has had plenty of chances to throw the ball away. It's an instinct he doessn't yet have. You have to give him props for staying in the pocket as long as he has. He's fearless. The happy feet are gone. But he's gotta have fox feet aswell. Sly out of that pocket. Get outside the tackles. Throw the gosh darn thing away.

 

I not only say yes he will stay healthy. I also say that poor line play will serve as a developmental aid to his game. It will teach him to get the ball out faster. I fully expect him to have a release as fast as Marinos by the end of this season. Hows that for some homer optimism

 

Thank you to the ghost of Carl Sagan.

 

are you ****ing crazy starting this thread?? what the **** is wrong with you?

 

Clabo has to get better. Period.....

 

You... You.. Had better start looking up how to break bad luck spells. Dude.. We don't talk about this. GODDDDDDDD

I pray he does, but with our oline so far. That is a great Question!!

 

Sure is. The thing is, the management/coaches obviously think he'll be fine, since they didn't pull any dramatic moves to bring in more talent on the line. They have to be convinced he's the future, and that he's well protected enough to make the season. To me though, his status this week speaks otherwise...but what do I know. Not that it's possible currently, but would you give up a first rounder next year for a young stud OL on another team, much like Indy did with TR?

 

He's been spouting this all offseason also.

Curious about the 12 hits though. I'm not getting that many off PFF. Whose reporting 12 hits?

Clabo 3/0/6
Jerry 1/2/4
Pouncey 1/0/0
Incognito 1/0/0
Martin 1/1/6

Clay 0/0/1
Thomas 1/0/0
Miller 1/1/1

That's 9 sacks/4 hits/14 hurries. Clabo is a definite issue that I wonder if we don't see Yeatman/Garner at some point. Jerry only gave up 2 sacks and 3 hits all of last year. So his year this far is concerning. I don't know if Watson can be the answer there as his pass protection in Philly was poor also. We need to see some growth out of Martin also at some point this year or it may be time to move on from him.

Either way were up for an overhaul on the line next year with so many free agents.

By the way the average time of sack on Tannehill is 3.63 seconds according to PFF's Quarterback Time in Pocket stats.

 

I think it's a valid question or concern although impossible to predict. I think the root of the OP's question is we need to start protecting him. Our OT's need to start stepping up their game as well as RTH. Our RB's have also whiffed on some blitzes and they need to get better. He needs to get rid of the ball quicker in blitz situations or run when too much time goes by.

Maybe it's time to do some more max protect or 3 man routes. We have the receivers to make plays.

 

if the oline doesnt improve he will be nursing injuries. hopefully nothing serious but this is going to be a rough year for him

 

If Sims and Egnew can get themselves more involved, we can get defenses to be more on their heels. As it is, seeing Egnew and Sims on the field means they are very likely going to be blocking. They can also help the short passing game over the middle. IMO, if there are players on your roster you need to use them or at least test them a bit. If Egnew cant go out and catch a few balls, then it is a roster failure. At the very least you run him out a few times. Same with Sims. It's the only way you can figure out what you have, IMHO

I might be having a bit of Sparano hangover here because he never trusted his players. I think there is an issue when only your top 4 guys are getting all the targets. All good teams spread the ball around. Defenses pick up on this and it makes you more predictable, which in the end can hurt your pass protection.

 

Have you ever considered any real freedoms? Freedoms from the opinion of others... even the opinions of yourself?

 

I voted "No" based on the current rate he is taking hits. That should/must change in the near future. Whether by scheme (more help blocking from backs/TEs or even an extra OL guy) or from the current OL group improving as a unit. Tannehill should have a very good year if they keep him healthy, and it would be great to see. We do have probably the best back-up QB in the league though, so we can weather 2-3 games with Matt starting.

 

I say no he will be on the sideline I just hope it's not serous and he can rebound in good health with no tears or broken bones and his time on the bench is short. Just to many hits getting to him one way or another some divisional team will cheap shot him when exposed.

 

Well, after two games, he already had some damage to his throwing shoulder, two things need to happen for preventive measures to take hold, the whole oline needs to get pissed off and take it personally, and Ryan must do a better job incorporating his athleticism to maneuver the pocket.

 

I voted yes because that's what I want to happen but, the kid needs to seriously find some rush awareness pretty quickly. Half the time he gets hit it's his own damn fault for standing in one spot or for moving right into a rusher. It's one weakness that I truly worry about with him. I'm not sure if that's something that can be taught.

 

I think if he is to attain elite status, he must improve this aspect of the game, so far we haven't seen improvement in this area, but I'm hopin that his improvements are in a compartmentalized fashion, meaning once he has improved in one area, which he has, he will focus on the other..at some point though it all has to be one collective thought process, knowing when to tuck it and run has to be conscious while the progressions are taking place, it cannot be, "let me go thru my progressions, if it's not there, then I will run", I think this is why you see a strange type of delay when engaging the athleticism, a lethargicness for lack of a better term, he needs to be conscious if we're gonna get that dual threat out of him where he can at least put the threat in the defenders minds that he will take off, we've seen him do it a few times, but I'm not sure what's going in from a coaching perspective, it truly seems like they are trying to isolate him in the pocket because they've weighed the alternatives and consequences and have determined staying in the pocket is what they want long term relative to healthy and winning..

I want to see him incorporate it into his game because I believe when playoff football arrives, playmaking ability, escapability from the Qb position becomes more critical.

 

I've heard him talk a lot about it this week, so I know he's conscious of it, I would bet we see him take off and steal a few this game, the question is can he keep this thought and go thru his progressions at the same time.

 

Yup, he's developing nicely, from the pocket..As far as knowing when to tuck and run, escaping pressure and making plays from a different platform behind the LOS, still waiting for consistency in that dept so it becomes engrained in the opponents defenses gameplan, once in a while is not gonna keep them from abandoning certain responsibilities, doing it 3 to 4 times a game will help everything involved, including creating oppurtunities when he doesn't.

 

I wonder if Sherman has beat it into RT's head that he needs to be a pocket passer so much that RT will not run even given the opportunity. I am one of the people who hate the idea of exposing your QB to the abuse of the read option. I love a smart athletic QB who can pick up a couple of important 3rd downs a game especially score points inside the 10 if he avoids contact. No first down or score is worth losing your QB for a month
