@MikeReiss: Tom Brady was flexing his right leg out after absorbing that hit to the right leg/knee area. Medical staff looking at him on sideline.
Seems like the Pats are trying out their run game in this game, confident they can go to the pass and score in the second half as needed. This is less a game and more Belicheat doing some preseason game planning.
My comment makes it look as if I'm talking about that one sack in vacuum but it was meant to be more of a general comment based on everything I've seen of him since coming in to the league. The OL is bad, yes, but Tannehill does not have good pocket awareness and is slow to react and escape incoming pressure... let's not pretend he is something that he is not. I think if we had a decent OL, it still would not be enough for our offense to be good. Our offense is only going to be as good as our OL. If we still want Tannehill to be our QB we need to accept his limitations and invest heavily on OL.
When Tannehill has a pocket he is as good as any QB. Problem is that only happens once or twice a game.
Yes, Tannehill should have seen Fox being beaten 1v1 while looking at the other side of the field within 3 seconds. If the QB can't trust his RT to block 1v1, he might as well scramble on every single play, why bother otherwise.
Sigh... rewind it if you can... he's looking at his WR's to the left... Fox is beaten immediately to his right, there's no way to see it, you expect him to at least block. His job is to look downfield and pass, and yes, take off or do something if it's not there. There wasn't even the time for a route to develop on that play before Fox is raped. Are you saying then, he should just take the snap and start running away from Fox? That's probably true... he should, but thats incredibly unrealistic for your offense..
Landry tries to do too much sometimes. He had a chance for the first there and instead tried to dance too much.
I think that is a challenge with bad teams. The good players try to do too much and end up making mistakes that are costly or add up over the course of the game.
I know it was on fox doesn't mean that nothing could of been done..there was time if detected early..qb has to see his oline has to anticipate some things...no big deal it was close but there was a moment where if he saw his guy get beat he had all kinds of room after a spin move..he throws on third and five short after staring down one receiver
It's a problem with the player too. Landry thinks he's shiftier than he actually is. He has quick feet, but he's not as elusive and quick as he thinks he is.
Again, how do you want him to detect it early, when his read is on the left side of the field, and Fox is so quickly beaten on what essentially became his blindside on the play. Yes he had room to run to the left, we all know that, but your argument that he needed to detect that, is pretty crazy in this instance. You're right about some of these plays, no doubt, but I personally think you're being unreasonable/unrealistic on this one bro.
Yes, of course he could've done better at recognizing the pressure and reacting. Terrible pocket awareness. .
I'm not. DJ is a quality poster, In many cases I trust his eyes. We just don't agree on this one, it's no big deal. The one wasting their time, is you, with posts like this one. Stop trying to antagonize.
I guess what one poster said before they will treat this game like a preseason game or they're just setting up the play action for the second half.
