Not to mention he'd probably tear his rotator cuff in the first lesson...

Pennington has some good advice but I wonder if he's actually watched the tipped passes in question because I don't think the situations he's talking about are the ones where Tannehill is getting his passes tipped.

Isn't Pennington a coach in the Jets system?

### Interesting how two former NFL quarterbacks can offer completely different takes on how to fix Ryan Tannehill's tipped ball issues.
ESPN's Trent Dilfer said on a conference call Wednesday that the problem is not "correctable on Tannehill's side. It's correctable by having a little bit more multiplicity offensively, a little bit more play action change launch point. The guys with the quickest releases don't get balls knocked down, and he has one of the quickest releases, so it doesn't really make sense. Ryan Tannehill should not get a lot of balls knocked down because one of the big misnomers is a high release is what allows you to not get balls knocked down. That's totally false."
But Chad Pennington, on his 790 The Ticket talk show, said the key is "a high release point and getting it on your front foot." He said the quarterback "has to find a way to get it done and eliminate it as much as possible."

### Pennington, by the way, told 790 The Ticket that he would not have traded Brandon Marshall because "I don't think you can justify giving away 100 receptions regardless of the type of things you may have to deal with off the field."

On some other team you don't give up those 100 receptions, but on this one you do.
Even Chad Pennington has trouble placing this issue in its context. The good news is that Joe Philbin doesn't.Steve-Mo likes this. -
I disagree with CP on RT's release. While in general the advice is good, it was not something that would have prevented the tipped passes in the Texan's game. It sounds like CP probably did not watch the game.
I agree with CP on Marshall. I did not see a guy who interfered with the on-field culture that Philbin is looking for. And obviously he was very productive. -

I don't think he watched the game either. -
He pouted and complained when he didn't get the ball as much as he wanted. He drew some stupid personal fouls and delay of game (for throwing balls to the sideline after the play) in similar circumstances. He criticized his QBs. Etc.shouright likes this. -
As far as the trade, there were IMO, some legit reasons that it made sense for Miami. Specifically, the size of his contract and his inconsistency in route running and his drops. You balance those against his 80+ catches and 1000+ yards and his impact on coverage. I don't agree that he was a me-first player or that he did not work hard or was a negative in the locker room and there weren't any reports that contradict that. So the balance is between those other factors. I can understand both sides of that balance. I just feel that we lost more than we got. Personally, I would have been okay the trade if we had been more aggressive in finding his replacement, but we did it in a lukewarm FA WR market and we didn't address the need with any high draft pick. That left the WR corp with Hartline/Bess and a couple of late round picks and lower tier FAs. I like Hartline and Bess, but that leaves you very vulnerable to injury and with little hope that anything else you have can step in. I think that's CP's point as well.
