Sports Buzz : Lazoring on Tannehill
100 replies
CrunchTimeretired_adminOP“It’s been exciting but challenging, completely different system,” Tannehill said. “Lot of stuff we haven’t done before. There’s still a learning curve. It’s not going to come overnight. Receivers are running routes they haven’t run before. wants to run it fast. We’re going to huddle but once we break we want to put pressure on the defense.”
Lazor will push Tannehill hard.
I asked Lazor where Tannehill needs to improve. Lazor's reponse: “I want to see the ball coming out on time, his footwork telling him when it’s time to throw it. I want to see that he trusted us that this is how it all fits together. The quarterback has got to play at game speed every day in practice.
“The receivers will catch up to him. That’s the first thing we’re trying to do with Ryan…. If you see them back there holding the ball or patting the ball, you’ll know I’m not happy.”
Its good to hear Lazor verbalizing a lot of our apprehensions about Tannehill .Hopefully it will result in a better performance.:yes:
And it seems Philbin is serious about trying Misi at MLB
Philbin stopped short of saying Koa Misi’s move to middle linebacker is permanent but the Dolphins are intrigued by the possibility. With Misi in the middle, “we should be more stout,” Philip Wheeler said. “He’s obviously a bigger guy.”And Dannell Ellerbe, who played middle linebacker last season, said, “I got to show more athleticism outside. In Baltimore, I played outside. Koa's athletic and fast enough to do it. We have to get him on the field more.”

Brasfinforum_veteranHere's Bill Lazor's presser:
Came away very impressed with how he well he communicates and how focused and organized he seems to be. Looks like he knows exactly what needs to be done to get the offense up and running and how to do it. I liked what he said about the QB position and how Tannehill needs to progress. I like how he wants to get the opposing defense off balance with the up tempo offense and unpredictability in the snap (which means no more GO and GO, GO! :hi5:).
Now let's see if he can walk the walk because he can surely talk the talk.

Just as you noted. That seems to demonstrate that Lazor recognizes precisely what Tannehill's problems were last year - afraid to release the football. You have to trust the receivers, the offense and the team.

If Tannehill can shake that reluctance to release the football, he will develop a better relationship with Wallace and with getting the ball downfield in general. He did have a terrible o-line, but it is possible to have a terrible o-line AND hold the ball too long. Look at Aaron Rodgers' first couple of years as a starter for an example of that.
Alex44New MemberWow that was refreshing to see a coach talk about specifics within the game instead of the bland "Well we'd like to see improvements in all areas. More TD's less INT's."
On the draft Quentin Rollins bandwagon.
He seems to bring some intensity, which I'm all for.

I always hear about how coaches have to be this or that persona wise....I feel like you need a good mix of personalities on your staff. You need the hard ass. You need the guy you feel comfortable talking to about anything that is going on. You need the coach who can remain calm under pressure. You need the coach who pushes you.
This staff definitely needed some fire behind it. Hopefully Philbin being more laid back in approach to players and Lazor being more passionate will be a good mix.

Serpico Jonesforum_veteranHuge difference between Lazor and Philbin at the podium, Philbin talks exactly like how he looks: dead. Lazor is lively and actually answers questions honestly.

I was thinking earlier what if we had just drafted him as a WR? 6'4" and 220ish lbs, 4.5 forty? I haven't really watched tape of him as a receiver, but on paper you'd have to give him a bit of a notice.

All NFL head coaches are liars. Not a single one tells the truth during PCs.

No specific examples readily come to mind but he does mislead with some of things he says. He also likes to deflect blame from himself when answering questions. Not taking responsibility for his deficiencies is a form of dishonesty.

My #1 improvement from Tannehill. Deep ball is a close #2.
Excited about tannehill this season if the oline doesn't fall to pieces this year.
UCF FINaticNew MemberWhile this post will probably not be liked its something I want people to read and really think about. This is Tannehill's first year inside a new offense. One that is completely foreign to him, not the same offense he was accustom to at Texas A&M and his first two years here. There will be some kinks to work out. The growing pains associated with adjusting to a new offense will bear their head some this season. I love Lazor and I'm a huge Tannehill fan, but I don't think the transition will be as smooth as most people here think it will be.
This is just one of the reasons why I could see us finishing this year 6-10 to 11-5. I'd be more adpt to bet that we finish 7-9 or 8-8. Just my two cents.
Thank you giovafin for this awesome Sig!

Tannehill is a pretty smart kid. I don't think there's going to be many issues with him. After a summer and camp worth of reps, I think he'll be just fine.

and playing speed, i still didnt feel like the game had slowed down for him...i undesratnd thats hard when you have as poor of oline as we had, but theres no more excuses..time to not be afraid to make a mistake.

No, he's just boring and looks dead.
Philbin stopped short of saying Koa Misi’s move to middle linebacker is permanent but the Dolphins are intrigued by the possibility. With Misi in the middle, “we should be more stout,” Philip Wheeler said. “He’s obviously a bigger guy.”
And Dannell Ellerbe, who played middle linebacker last season, said, “I got to show more athleticism outside. In Baltimore, I played outside. Koa's athletic and fast enough to do it. We have to get him on the field more.”
This linebacking corps is as uninspiring as it gets. Misi and Wheeler wouldn't start on 80% of the teams out there. This unit needs to be completely revamped next offseason.
