mean controversial. In order, back in the offseason. Here.
Ya, big time. He ever easy mentor of mentors. Don't call
me. Oh, don't call me a mentor
or Dare You Ryan Tannehill, which sure it's not his job to
be a mentor and he's going to be a good teammate and like put
up a good example
and therefore will be
wait for it. A good Mentor still bothers me that whole subject.
It really does. I'm not going to go off on a tangent about
it. Actually why we're sitting here real quick just because
I mean, More people made a big deal about that, but nobody
made a big deal that Teddy Bridgewater was basically
trying to stab to in
the back as he got signed by the Miami Dolphins. That just
got no big deal. He wasn't mentoring to uh, we're just
going to let him
kind of be a backstabber and we won't talk about it. Okay,
cool. But Ryan Tannehill, we're going to make it like he's
a bad human being. Hmm. So,
yep, I'm defending to an on there. Look at that. What
the hell is going on here? Let the record State. All right. Back
to Ryan, Taylor. Ryan Tannehill 12 last year. Yeah, 11 the year
before, right? He bets
he dead. Little bit. He'd add a little bit of the down year.
But because reason well, let me just start off with this. Okay,
the guy is better than we give them credit for.
That's going to be my headline. Statement always said that for
two years. Yes this year. Yeah. Okay. Well, it was a little bit
of a Down year I certainly and I can certainly say good
reasons for it.
That's where I think. Like, some people got to like, you know,
like back off a little bit with my own hand Tannehill to. Yeah,
I do like with Baker Mayfield. The guy was f***** hurt. Almost
a whole year. Ryan Tannehill.
Who did he have on his team for most of the year to throw to
you? Go back to that year. You had them 11, right? Just two
seasons ago. His top three pass catchers. Yeah, they're all
gone. I know all of them. Right. The offense of
coordinator gone.
Hey AJ. Look, I mean here, here's to your point. No,
I mean again this it's not as efficient or is big plays or
a course. The pass protection wasn't as good. And oh, yeah,
Derek Henry was playing
and AJ Brown was healthy for most of the Year.
This past year. He had AJ Brown
who was heard a number of weeks Julio Jones.
Who was almost non-existent for the year
and then a bunch of no names at receiver?
And then you lose Derrick Henry.
Okay. So that's going to lead you to
maybe. I'm gonna Force the ball a little bit and try to make
a play happen when I shouldn't and that would probably be
the downfall of his year as he let some of that I think affect his
game to a degree.
I will say physically
again, I'm nitpicky here.
Do I think he lost a mile
per hour or two on his fastball? Yes. Yes, I do.
You know, does Ryan Tannehill need a system like her cousins?
Yes, I do.
He does need a system, but
he can bring something to the system. To this is to me where
he separated from Kirk Cousins. Yep, right, like, where we
talked about Kirk Cousins, can throw the ball,
you know, people bearing down on him, but he still needs
space. He's not going to do it off the back foot or side armor
to Tannehill can do some of that first off. Tannehill can
throw off his back foot and still throw
a 20 yard in, cut down the middle.
Been like, man, he had no room and he couldn't step into that.
And looked like he was like a T-Rex and still got it there.
Like with no arm or anything rose on the Move will two rows
in the move? Well, to exactly, right. So there's something
else, like his has an advantage over Kirk Cousins. Let alone
can get on the moon. And if nobody's there to throw though,
can turn it up field and run for 30, 20 yards. I mean, he
won some games this year and help them win some games with
some big runs that way.
So, that's where I say, and
within the normal
Rhythm of the system. There's another thing. I'm just again.
I'm comparing them to the guy that was behind him. Just
because this hey, this is tight here. These guys your guys are
good. Quarterbacks is,
is Tannehill. Makes more big plays within the rhythm of
the system more like, here's a play, right?
And we want you to look to the out, route to the left
and then the second reads going to be an in Cut, coming over
the middle. And then really, the third guy might be another
shorter in Cut, coming over the middle, and then the fourth guy
on the outside running.
Deep post, right
more times than not, guys, never get to that deep post.
You can get Tanana Hills, a guy that can get there or just
goes. Oh, wait, as I'm dropping back. Oh, wait, what domain
coach told me a few weeks ago. If we run this play, and we get
this covers that post might be there. He will do that, where
I would say, like Kirk Cousins is like, he'll hit some deep shots
down the field, but he knows he started deep. It's like a play
action,
and it's Jefferson and thielen going deep. So he's ready to
throw deep Tannehill. Obviously can do that. But Tannehill also
makes more big throws. I think, within the normal Rhythm of
the With Ensign Kirk Cousins, does he done a nice job of pointing
out the detail of why he's 15 and cousins with 16. Thank you.
My question. How
much did the playoff loss? Yeah. In the playoff
performance with the three interceptions picked on his
first play. How much does did that have to do with where he?
Well, it didn't but I think it was more of a
microcosm of maybe the whole year a little bit
where you know, I think the injuries the Derrick Henry
stuff you brought up.
I do think
Got him to force things a little bit here and there he
didn't manage games quite the same way. He had in years past
thought he tried to force some plays and some moments
to kind of get the team may be jump started
and didn't need to do that with his team. Like your defense is
good and you guys still can run the ball pretty good without
Derrick Henry. You don't need to throw some tight balls
against the Houston Texans in the rain at home
that get through intercepted three times and you lose.
I think that, okay? And the other thing that I think
the Bengals game
Was a real thing with.
He when I went back and watched The Rose, he has a
little issue of he will stare down receivers.
There's no doubt about that. After watching her past and
third, pick it, right? 100%. Just or just said, I'm going to
look at this guy and I'm going to jam it in and the third pic
is exactly the thing. I'm talking about with the managing
of the game where it's like they kind of had
control of the game again there.
And he kind of was like, I'm gonna fit this in there and win
the game right now and I wouldn't want to go. Wait.
They haven't moved the ball and the
Can have they didn't do any, they haven't been able to do
anything and you're sacking the other team's quarterback every
other time he drops back. Yeah,
it was that to me. That was just a little off this year.
Let alone. We know there were some other players that played
really good that led to him going down a few spots and
where he's been in the last few years. I like looking at
his year compared to the previous. I think he's either
hitting your 10 or 11. So yeah, this guy who's been around
a long time. So now, when he came to Tennessee, didn't have huge
expectations from Miami,
but I think he was better than most people thought.
He was really, really good. A lot of the time. Yes, he was.
So now they're the number one seed. Yeah, they lose at home.
On the first real threat doesn't play. Well, three
picks. They draft his replacement,
all of a sudden this year, has a sense of urgency. And I feel
around it that he hasn't had. No. I know. He's got
to see his response. I am too. I am too. And you know,
hopefully, you know, they got enough talent to support him
here. AJ Browns gone, you know, Derrick Henry should be healthy
look without agent. Yeah, you know, we'll see if that trail
offers can't have a lot.
Do with where he is? No doubt and especially the way they
want to play ball, which is run. Yeah, you know, play
action pass make aggressive throws down the field, you
know, that's the one thing to we got to take into account
where we don't give him credit for a little bit.
He's not in a quarterback. Friendly offense.
They're not. There. You don't go in the game gone.
Let's get Ryan and Rhythm early.
Let's let's make sure we get them. 94 11. They're going elf
Q. We're going to run the ball. We're going to play defense.
We're gonna beat you up physically
and then hey Ryan, your first two throws their we're probably
going to go up. Play action, you gotta throw the ball, 25
yards, down the middle that get in Rhythm, right? Be
in fact, no forget your Rhythm being Rhythm to start the game
because we're coming out and do it so that it doesn't lend
itself. Always to
Great quarterback numbers and stuff like that. You got to
take that into account a little bit as well. But you're right.
I think that that game kind of put the microscope on him
a little bit.
And for whatever reason,
as we saw with the mentoring thing, he's a guy that people
want to jump on very quickly, right? And like to your point
with Miami. That just should have never been. He played
really well in Miami
more time. Hey, he really did, you know and what did people
expect with that team down in Miami that they were supposed
to be so good. So
yeah, I think those are the things had can still be dynamic
though, you know? Again, he can still be a pretty Dynamic
player. He's not going to have a lot of like side arm throws
or anything like that. But like I said, it doesn't need room
to throw. He's aggressive and you said it. He makes a lot of
throws in plays on the run.
And then, of course, can just flat-out run to,
with the quarterback design run. It's tough to
tell where that adds a little element there. So there's
there's a, there's some special physical things, he brings to
the table. And yes, I don't expect mole equals to be able
to mess with this guy.
One thing. I'll say
is just the clips. I've Seen On TV so far too,
you know Malik was a smaller than people realize
when he stands there and Ryan Tannehill, he don't look like
all that special just from look-wise. You go. Well, one
guy looks like a stud the other guy kind of looks, you know,
short and thick. Yeah, and so we'll see where that goes, but
they ain't going to be like,
I think, people think like because Malik Willis was
Big Talk of the Town and I understand he's got a big arm.
I just, you know, Ryan Tannehill is really good. Like
you're saying here and and you know, we need to respect that.
I think all of us a little bit more I had written down. I want
to ask if
if any chance we see him benched from early ground this
year and it sounds like you. I don't think so that question.
Yeah, I think I mean he's got a fall apart. I would imagine he
would have to fall apart and and again, I would expect
Malik will has to be
really raw and not necessarily the guy. They want to trust
a play right now. This is teams ready. D this team to go to
the Super Bowl.
I mean they're their defense is going to be
I think check out those early be better at the bills. Yeah.
Week two
Raiders Colts and commanders. I mean that's a and then a by.
Yeah,
pretty good schedule. It's not about schedule. No doubt. And
you know, you look at their division and you know, them in
the culture clearly the two better teams then compared to
the other two
to where you think damn Jaguars and Texans
could very easily be four wins right there.
Yeah, I expect Ryan Tannehill, have a better year than he did
last year. And I think the title You know,
Mike Vrabel and Company there to me,
you know, they're on the right track. They really are and
they'll be a pain in the ass with Ryan, Tannehill,
quarterback this year.
