I'm nervous about Tannehill's...

    I noticed in each of the games we have won Tannehill's rollouts are always to the right. I'm assuming that it is his strength to go to that side. I'm nervous that teams will catch on and they have no back up plan if they have a spy waiting for him to rollout. Am I being ridiculous or is this an issue?

    He's gone to both sides. Even Sunday, he rolled left and threw a bullet 40 yards. I commented in the game thread that it was a crazy throw. Might have been the one to Parker that Parker hurt his back on.

    He started the game off with a roll out to the left...he's done this a couple times to the TE.

    I'm going to go out on a limb and say that if any team puts a spy on Tannehill all game solely to stop him rolling to the right, then we're going to have a good day on offense.

    He's elite throwing on the run to either side, nothing to worry about.

    Gase mentioned something about the rollouts to the right. I think he said it wasn't necessarily by design? Maybe it's something he'll look into.

    Tannehill has been able to do both consistently well. Even Gase said in his presser something like even he gets a little nervous when Tannehill rolls out to his left specifically, but he ends up proving him wrong like he did Sunday. Not a direct quote but it was something along those lines. I think it might just be a coincidence, Tannehill has always been extremely good at his rollouts.

    I'm more concerned that in the past 2-3 games, his first play has been a rollout of some sort and a flare to the TE

    I would be a little more concerned about the attempt we're making with the option plays. I like the idea of getting Tannehill involved in the running game because he's so freaking tough, but the defense isn't going to be fooled when every single option if off the right tackle.

    The announcer mentioned something in regards that had me shrugging. If anything it has to do with the handicapped line. We favored plays to the left when healthy, and now that they're all out... RT is being flushed right.

    Tendency breaker given the stretch play we run with Ajayi. It's a natural extension of the play to keep the defense honest.

    The other variance is to have Sims run a corner route rather than a 10-12 yard out.

    It's coming.

    The out of bounds pass to Parker was to his left. Can't do better than that one.

    Before Tannehill went on this tear, I always thought his strength was throwing on rollouts. IMO, the previous regime didn't utilize this talent enough. I'd like to see more of them since he is quite able to tuck it down and take off. Of late, I trust his decision-making. I used to cringe when he dropped back. Now I'm sorta on the edge of my seat and feeling good about his efforts.

    We talking about Tannehill or Rick Mirer here?

    The ball wasn't out of bounds. The ball was squarely in play. The DB who twisted Parker to the ground produced his left hand touching out of bounds.

    Imo there is no issue with him going either way, he's deft going either way.
