[video=youtube;YRLuJeICpoY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRLuJeICpoY[/video] Put together all his snaps for those curious.
Looks like starter material to me, let's develop our young guys, get what we can out of MMoore and load up on next years draft! Thanks for the video!
Look at this kid. Making adjustments at the line, great ball fakes, using his feet, making accurate throws all over the field. LOL at everyone saying he was too raw and needed to sit. I like Matt Moore and appreciate what he did for us last season, but start this man! Thanks ck.
who does he remind you of? To compare him to someone... his throwing style.... reminds me a bit of a young Drew Beldsoe.
I have trouble figuring out who he reminds me of. It'll come to me, some day. Video also gives you a glimpse of our OLs in pass protection.
-Reminds a bit of Tony Romo (throwing motion is different, just how he plants and throws) -Nice chemistry with Charles Clay -Not a natural passer, seems to guide the ball as if it were a long handoff -Probably could polish up his play fakes a bit more -A little jittery in the pocket, probably nerves The overturned TD throw to Wallace is really his denoument, what I mean by that is Wallace was bracketed and he probably should not have made that throw, BUT, he still almost pulled it off..talent or a poor decision that nearly paid off vs 2nd stringers?
I don't see it as a bad decision. I see it as him aggressively throwing into the weak spots of the Buccaneers' cover two. He did it several times on the night. One he snuck over top of the corner to Roberto Wallace on that pretty up-and-down pass to the perimeter. Another later in the game he stuck right into the arm pit between corner and safety, much like the end zone play you're talking about but on a more defined and less rushed route and throw. I'd love to know if Ryan stuck that ball in end zone low to the ground on purpose. If he did, then all hail Ryan Tannehill.
I know Roberto Wallace dropped that TD pass, but hot damn that was a great freaking throw. Some people will say it was too low, but I think that was perfect placement. It hit Wallace in the numbers and was thrown to a window where only Wallace could get to.
Funny, I don't hear the anti-Tannehill crowd chirping anymore. what about tanking the season for Barkley? where's that rhetoric?
One of the passes I like the best is actually the screen at 1:54. That's about as well as you can throw a ball like that in terms of getting it to the guy in a hurry and leading him so that you get the most possible YAC on it. If he would've floated that out there or placed it poorly it would've been a loss, with those two defenders in the vicinity. As it was it was a short gain.
I honestly think the last time a screen pass worked was that time James McKnight took one 60 yards against the Giants. (Christ I feel old)
I don't know if I really call that a screen. It was the right read given the defense, and the timing and execution were OK, but the ability to execute that play flawlessly is something you do see at the college level a lot. I liked the play at 4:21 a little better, as far as screens go. This was an actual screen, and there was a jailbreak up the middle with two free rushers right in his face, but he got the ball off with the right accuracy and timing without any panic. You'd be surprised how many young quarterbacks aren't able to do this that well. Andrew Luck also did it perfectly and scored a touchdown on a similar play yesterday, his first pass of his career. Another play I liked was at 1:40. Even though he still pretty much sucks as a runner, which is mind boggling given his history at slot receiver, there was no hesitation in the decision to scramble here on 2nd & 10. You don't need a homerun play at this down and distance, you just need 5 yards or so to make a decent 3rd down situation. I don't think he felt pressure in the pocket. I don't think that's why he pulled the ball down. Either someone ran a wrong route or he actually decided before the play that the scramble was his second read. At 3:24 though he scrambled again (and again, instincts suck for that sort of thing) yet he did that clearly because the blocksy twins Jon Martin and Nate Garner let a guy right through the gates. Ryan had his eyes upfield on his drop but right when he planted his foot, he felt that rusher and immediately scrambled up the field. That's pretty good. All of these (1:40, 3:24, 4:21) strike me as instances where he could have panicked under the rush and it could have affected his execution, resulted in a loss or non-gain. He turned all of them into gains. I liked that. And aside from that I just really appreciate that he had a knack for squeaking the ball into the holes between cover two zones in way I'm not sure I've ever seen Chad Henne do before.
I like what I see. He definitely has a long way to go but he made many more good reads than I expected. I didn't question any time he decided to take off and run and his ball placement for the most part was not bad. Here's to hoping.
There's an anti-Tannehill crowd? If it is, I don't remember hearing any "chirping". Still to use a king FUPA phrase, let's put away the anointing oil until he performs well in a regular season game. I'm super excited too, but he's still got plenty to prove. If an anti-Tannehill crowd even exists, I'd say it's way to early to say I told you so.
The one ball that was questionable was the one he threw out to the sidelines that Gaiter looked like he might have been able to jump for a pick-6. Definitely a risky ball to throw, bad decision. But even that ball had a glimmer of positive because he threw it as far to the outside as possible while still leaving open a chance that Clay can catch it. It was really too far outside for Gaiter to have caught it. Whether that placement was just random coincidence or if he meant to throw it that way, or whether he could reproduce that 9 times out of 10...I don't know.
As I watched that play it looked to me like THill threw the ball in Clay's direction the only place it really could not be int'd but with not much chance for Clay to catch it either, so imo it was not a horrible play. Disagree about throwing into double coverage to Wallace in the EZ, granted a good Qb has to make throws into tight windows down there (looking at you Chad Henne) just thought he should have made a different decision if it was there.
It wasn't really double coverage. The corner had disengaged his coverage because Wallace was out of his zone.
Well, when Tannehill and Gruden sat down they certainly discussed how much Ryan loves to squeeze those sorts of throws in there along the sidelines, believing his arm can get it into that little window past the corner. In terms of 9/10, I think Ryan's mentality and habit is based on it working 9/10 times in college. It may only work 6/10 in the NFL with one of the other 4 times being an INT. We'll see.
Well, he looked like he did get the ball up and over the fronting defender and in front of the backside coverage, it was a good pass, and iirc Wallace really was his only option in the EZ..just that stuff is either the arrogance of talent, or just a bad decision. We'll see soon enough, he'll surely play a qtr this Friday, maybe 2 qtrs, with Devlin coming in the 4th qtr. The pass to Clay looked like one of those "I'll toss it up there where the only one who can really make a play on the ball is Clay" deals but with Clay being flat along the goal line trailing the ball away from him and the Cb meant there was very little chance anyone could catch that pass.
Thanks for putting that together Chris. Especially enjoyable since I was unable to see the game. Some good things on tape, but certainly room for improvement. I was impressed with Roberto Wallace, despite some body catches, throughout the video.
thanks for the video ck. even though my crappy phone wont let me see it. lol. but i"ll check it out when i get to my in-laws house. i have to endure a few more weeks of no internet at my house. it sucks but thats what happens when contractors like me are out of work for a few weeks. anyway how come everyone on this thread has good things to say but in other threads i hear he had a crappy practice?
oh nevermind. i thought this was clips from practice but now i see the title of the thread is about pre season.
if u tell me the title of this youtube video i can watch it on my phone on youtubes site but my phone wont allow me to watch it from that link
No, because I'm not ignorant enough to blame a bad season solely on a rookie QB. and like I said in another thread, very few rookie QBs have ever had a winning season their first season.
