Dolphins Are Planning to Use Tannehill in Read Option

Oh **** son!!! Him and Lamar Miller running the read/option = **** yes for us!

 

That will be interesting for sure.

 

They used him some in the read option this season......

How is this new news?

 

I'd be much happier at this news if we had Delanie Walker.

 

They used it more as the season went on and Sherman said that was because they didn't want to throw too much at him early. For that reason it doesn't surprise me that they plan to use it more next year.

 

now he just needs wrs that can read!!! **** YOU HARTLINE!

 

Happy if they keep using it as much as they did late last season, or even increase the usage a bit, but not too much. Use it like the Wildcat to keep the defense on their toes, except this time we'll not be taking our starting QB out of any rhythm by using it.

 

I'm with you. It doesn't say they plan to use it often, alot, from day one. It says they plan on using it. They used it lady year a little, I don't expect trip see it a ton.

 

Me and this dog are skeptical.


Where did this guy get his info?

Someone on the team in the know? Really? Someone, high enough up to know what offensive philosophy we are going to use BEFORE FA & the draft, decided to tell Schmucky McNobody what we were going to run.

 

That would probably happen by just replacing Hartline...with literally any other #1 WR.

 

I see, a hash tag is better evidence then common sense now.

In a league where the snap count is guarded secret, a person high up enough to have been told what offense we are going to run, just blabbed to the least known reporter out there? Really? C'mon.

 

They didn't show crap on HK.

Are you really arguing that the average NFL team isn't secretive about stuff like this? Really?

 

There's no point in being secretive about it. Everyone knows he can run so they should be expecting to see him have a little more freedom in his sophmore season.

If true though it makes Wallace that much more interesting to me. Him along w Miller and Tannehill would be a ton of speed for a defense to try to deal with.

 

It might effect the draft and FA. Again, there is literally no reason for Miami to leak this to anyone. I'm willing to bet it is speculation based on a another reporter's speculation.

Much like how we were going to sign Harbaugh, Fisher, McCoy, Manning, Flynn, etc. last year.

 

I just came.

 

I'm not breaking your balls cause you posted it. I'm calling shenanigans on the reporter.

 

Sure there is. The draft is coming up, if they don't plan on using the read option, leaking this could make teams want to trade up or down depending on scheme fitting players being available around when we pick. It also could make the pats, jets, and bills want to draft defenders that have seen this offense at the college level. It just gives opposing teams, more specifically division teams, more to think about.

 

Then why report it to Jimmy Noname?

 

It's really nothing like that. It def could just be speculation but I sure wouldn't be surprised if we do use it more.

 

Merry Christmas ya filthy animal.

 

Its dumb enough to work.

 

And a happy new year!

 

-pft

Just sayin.

 

This isn't really a surprise. Mike Sherman said they'd continue to use it, just not "too much". That doesn't really tell you if they'll use it any more than they did last season, a little more, or what.

I don't think Mike Wallace is a particularly good rusher for all his speed.

 

If we end up running this offense for a significant portion of the plays, I'll be on the "I told you so" end of it when Tannehill struggles with injuries all season.
Like someone said, sprinkle it in to keep the defenses honest, pickup one or 2 big plays/game. saying we're going to run it all the time because it works for RGIII lacks imagination.

 

You give him little dumpoff misdirections and I think you'll see.

 

Def can't see them doing it to that extent.

 

Have you guys even seen Thill try to slide? I think he just wants to take the hit and get tackled, prob from his WR days.

 

We just spent 15 years in QB purgatory and now that we have one that looks promising we're going to trot out some cutesie offense and get him hurt? I hate everything.

Tannehill is athletic - but he can make plays without turning him into a RB. There's a reason RBs get hurt and don't stay in the league past 30. Why in the world would you want to do that to your QB?

And while he is athletic - let's not pretend he's RG3 or Kaepernick. The payoff just isn't that great.

 

I have seen him slide a few times. He does a pretty good job of it.

 

He played WR for 2 years
