2 sacks and 7 pressures... he played a great game of matador.

Turner can go back to the college ranks with Sherman as far as I am concerned.. Saying that is a great performance speaks volumes for his expectations of a player..

Ask Tannehill and the running backs if they thought it was a great game.

I wonder if Turner gave him a participation award?

Wow, their expectations for Clabo must be really low. I'm not blaming Clabo, I think he's doing the best he can..............he's just not good. The coaching staff had 2 weeks to evaluate this and for 3 quarters it looked like they had done their job, but in the most critical part of the game they completely failed.

If Clabo truly is the best RT we can find, then he better have help.

It does seem like they almost tried to fake out Buffalo in the 4th quarter by going back to vanilla. Problem is the personnel is not good enough to execute that versus a good pass rush.

I was thinkin the same. Time for these 2 characters to be relieved.

Hopefully Turner is just trying to motivate Clabo until McKinnie gets up to speed. If he is serious, then he is the problem

Now we know why the OL is not very good. The coach is ignorant.

Well said Rich. A turnstile would have been more effective.

I am sorry but since Turner has been the Miami Dolphins offensive line coach it seems as the quality and schemes have done SQUAT to help this team. Yeah he comes across as an outgoing motivator, but production and results are not there.

Does anyone know who John Sandusky's assistant offensive line coach was back during the Marino days??? We need SOMEONE to come in and replace this clown and get the line straightened out.

question: You're the coach. Your team has a 1 point lead and a 2nd and 8 on the opponents 45yd line. There's 3 minutes left in the game. You're going to call a pass. To the QB's rigth are two key people. Mario Williams (quite possibly the best DE in the league) and Tyson Clabo (quite possibly the worst tackle in the league).... Do you ...
1. Ignore it..my guys need to do their jobs.
2. Chip him with a back
3. Line a TE up over him and keep the TE in to help.

Correct me if I am wrong, but Tannehill had the option to run or pass on that play depending on how the defense lined up. He chose pass.

The coaches backed Tannehill up said he made the right call in their offensive philosophy. He missed the guy out of the backfield who looked open to me and of course the pocket collapsed. Can he change the protection schemes? I don't know.

Okay, so yes RT had a run or pass play and he checked off to the pass. But as the coach if you give your young QB that option, you have to make sure you have a plan for the check off to a pass..right? If your plan on a pass play is Tyson...you stop Mario...then you shouldn't be coaching in the NFL.

Clay was in the slot and had a step on the LB a moment before RT fumbled. RT was waiting for Hartline to go into his break. Clay should've been the hot read on that.

As I understand it Tannehill didn't really have a choice but rather if the defense lines up as A you pass, B you run. He executed the play as designed.

If and why he missed an open receiver I cannot answer.

Another thing to consider was that D Thomas was blown up on that play and Tannehill would have been sacked anyway. Maybe not fumble, but sacked.

If you kept Clay in to help Clabo you no longer have that potential open receiver option and Tannehill is sacked anyway from the left.

My conclusion is that it was just a bad play call. A play action roll out would have given Tannehill more time and the options to either throw or run. But hindsight is 20/20.

The Bills had the roll out covered all game. Go watch the tape. Had RT improvised and scrambled out of the pocket he could've made a play. If he fired it quickly after 3 steps to clay, it was a big play. Miami was in a 2 WR formation with Clay in the slot. The Bills were sending 7 guys and it was evident before the snap. You've got 3 guys manned up, Wallace, Hartline and Clay. Only one safety deep. RT has to know he's only got a second to make this pass. Thomas got blew up but RT held the ball while Hartline tried to run a 10yd comeback. Clay was open 2yds off the LOS. RT has to know that it his hot read.

It is easy to sit back and criticize Tannehill's reads and what he should have done, but during the game time moment, he see's different things in coverages than us peanut gallery fans see.

Tannehill doesn't see the field like a Brady, Brees or Rodgers "yet" and there is a reason for that and it is called "experience"....he has the attributes and hopefully he will get there.

i'm not seeing much hot read stuff out of this guy....which is a huge part of the problem....

that would be a preperation problem in my book......he is well into his second year now..excuses are less effective.....he has been an nfl qb for 24/7 for 2 years

Just watched the video. Tannehill has a LB spying him and cutting off a quick throw to Clay. He'd have to lob it over and trust Clay would be there. He already had two defenders on top of him by the time he could do what you are suggesting.

He could have rolled out to the right and taken off or would have a better vision of Clay sprinting up field.

The pass could have been on a line, just high enough to lead Clay. The LB was a step behind Clay and never chucked him at the LOS. It was easly 10-20yds if RT makes the throw. What you're arguing is waiting for Hartline to clear was the correct call. Hindsight makes that wrong. Clay was the only option, RT never looked at him. He was locked onto Hartline the whole way.

This is certainly monday morning QBing but he has to see this pressure. 7 guys on the LOS. The one LB is a yard to the left and a yard behind a streaking Clay. If RT throws this, it is at worst an incompletion. But he's locked on and doesn't feel the pressure.

BTW..Clay turns his head at the 47 and has the step I'm talking about on the LB. The only guy that could've affected the throw was alonzo and he would've had to time a jump to bat down a quick pass.

I don't think waiting for Hartline was necessarily the correct call. I'm just not sure Tannehill saw Clay that well. I think the linebacker or safety to Clay's right slid more to the middle blocking Tannehill's vision. In that situation you could be right that throwing the guy open was the correct move. I'm arguing that if he rolled out it may have given him time to see Clay better, allow Hartline to finish the route or take off to the right for a good run.

Your point about him locking on to targets is valid. It has been a concern since last year.

We are talking about the same QB who has more TD passes than Brady. Cut him some slack.

You're right Finesse. He's a solid young QB. Great short to mid-range accuracy. I just hope Sherman doesn't turn him into David Carr. I was just breaking down that last play. The Bills hadn't sent 7 guys the entire game but they did on that play.

I agree Jammer. Sure the throw to Clay looks like the right throw in a still shot, but we realistically DON'T know what Tannehill saw on that play and to suggest he never looked at Clay is hard to detect when I watched the reply. Yes, he looked Hartline's way, but he also started scanning the middle IMO. That linebacker was probably the one that could have disrupted a pass to Clay and those lineman were coming fast and hard at Tanny. He would have had to had the IMMEDIATE lock on Clay and throw a picture perfect touch pass and threaded it over in order for that to have been successful, but I just think the line broke down so quickly and was indecisive where to throw because of the pressure.
