The only thing Ireland deserves props for is his ability to pull the wool over the owners eyes for the past six years. He has been well paid for basically doing a lousy job and yet the teams owner continues to support him. I am beginning to think that no legitimate GM wants to work with Ross and that is why Ireland is still here. It certainly isn't because of all the fabulous teams Ireland has put together in his time with the Dolphins.

I'm not an Ireland supporter by any stretch, but do you post this if Miami wins against Balt and is 4-1? Which we should be.

That fourth down pass makes me wonder why we don't roll out more often. Drives me crazy that we seem to simply ignore Tannehill's athleticism.

I do agree that Tannehill does appear to be headed in the right direction and the Dolphins may have finally found their long term answer at the QB position.

My only concerns are that he definitely needs to do a better job of moving in the pocket. He just doesn't seem to react quick enough to all the pressure around him. Most of this is because the OL and the backs have done such a terrible job in pass blocking, but some of those sacks have been the fault of Tannehill. His ability to escape the pressure by throwing the ball away or sensing where the to move in the pocket to escape the rush needs to improve if he wants to take the next step in his development.

My biggest concerns if he continues to get hit so often is that he will suffer a serious injury. I also would not like to see him suffer the same fate David Carr did with the Texans. Carr was expected to be a franchise type QB coming out of college, but he was never able to progress because of the fact he was sacked so often in his first few years with the Texans. He appeared to lose his focus in the pocket after a few years of taking all those hits in the pocket, and he never did develop into a quality NFL QB. Hopefully this won't happen to Tannehill.[/QUOTE

MY concern also and no way he survives the rest of the season at this sack pace.Hopefully he can start feeling the pressure soon because his pocket presence is not very good now.Thats all that is missing from his game because he can make all the throws though I would like to see a little better touch on the long ball.

What changed between last season and this one? We did it often each game last season with success.

This is something that has been annoying the hell out of me.
We used a lot of bootlegs last year, why has Sherman gotten away from that?
