I must tell you, I saw some good signs from Tannehill in that regard Sunday. There were two snapshots that showed he's the leader and he has the respect of his teammates.

First, there was a moment when left guard Richie Incognito did what he sometimes does and got into debate shall we say with an opposing lineman. It had the potential to lead to pushing and shoving and a flag.
Tannehill stopped it by telling Incognito, an older player, to get back to the huddle.

"Yeah, he got into it a little bit," Tannehill said. "That’s my job on the field, to keep my guys focused on what we’re trying to do, which is go down and score. Obviously, football is an intense game, there’s a lot of emotion. Guys are going to get into it here and there but when its sidetracking us from what we’re trying to do, we ‘ve just got to focus, lock in and get ready for the next play."

Tannehill was a little harsher with receiver Rishard Matthews. The second-year receiver was getting hot and arguing with a Cleveland defender in the second half when Tannehill seemingly had enough and cursed out his teammate while demanding he get off the field.

The words were heard on television.

And off the field Matthews went.

"I forget what yard line we were on, but if we get a 15 yard penalty right there, it’s a long field goal and if we kick that field goal right there we put it at 13 points, a two touchdown game," Tannehill said. "We really didn’t need a dumb penalty right there and I just tried to get him off the field the best way I could."

Anyone read the front page blog today? pats self on back

I posted on the inside chat boards about some things he could've done better against Cleveland and his followers made it known quickly that I was treading on thin ice.

Anyone "objective" easily sees that Wallace is open. Vision is usually the 2nd thing to go with age.

Junkie, you'd make a great tyrant.

You've got the "my way or the highway" thing down. I can also see you've also got a subtle "anyone who disagrees with me should be utterly destroyed" propaganda thing working under the surface too.

Sorry that people disagreeing with your opinion and analysis amounted to a mob with pitchforks telling you to watch yourself in your mind.

Sanity is actually the first thing to go with old age...

And add one more thing too...let it go. The debate is done, we've beat it to death. You have an opinion one way and others have an opinion the other way. No biggie. Let's get these Colts this week.

BTW. Just rewatched the 4th Q. Tannehill said to Matthews "Get the f@%K off!"
