"Elite toughness and signs of accuracy”
Not exactly a ringing endorsement of Tannehill by Vrabel at his end year press conference
Indeed.
The biggest issue with Tanny is that it seems he has developed extreme tunnel vision. He doesn't seem to see anything that's going on around his intended target, because I have no idea why he makes those three throws that he made on Saturday if he had seen anything happening around those receivers.
I think there was an unwillingness to stick with the run in general.Add in the AFC Championship against the Chiefs and you get this:
57 carries for 171 yards (3.0 yards/carry) and 2 TD. 57 yards/game
Teams simply aren't going to allow Henry to beat them in the postseason.
One of the issues on Saturday was Vrabel and Downing's unwillingness to run Foreman/Hilliard. Henry should never have gotten 20 carries after the amount of time he was out due to his injury (and of course the injury itself). By the first few carries, it was obvious that Henry had little burst and was having difficulty with his footwork (he tripped/slipped on a few occasions).
I'm going to be very interested to see how Henry runs next season after the injury and more time to recuperate.

I also kind of disagree that n some of the takes about Henry’s health. It’s been mentioned and was known ahead of time the Bengals D was going to focus on him BUT in the 3rd qtr there was a stretch it appeared Henry was warming up and they stopped running him, partly for foreman.
1st qtr - 5 carries 11 yards
2nd - 5 carries 19 yards (6 counting failed 2pt)
3rd - 7 carries 31 yards
4th - 3 carries 1 yard. (Final drive 2 for 3)
foreman had 1 carry in the 1st, 2 yds
1 carry in the 3rd, 45 yds
2 carries in the 4th, 9 and 1 yard.
Aside from the obvious WR screen, in the 2nd the drive after the TD, titans went with 3 straight passes (THill scrambled on 1) and again in the 4th, after 2 carries for 10 yds, 3 straight passes again leading to the “and 1” stop.
just inconsistent run play calls when it was working.
I wonder how many on this board wrote Stafford off as a QB who couldn’t win the Superbowl. Before playing for LA his TD:INT ratio was 1.96. Tannehills is 1.95.
Tannehill isn’t great. He’s not Brady, Rodgers or Mahomes. But he isn’t veing out in a position to succeed. Our O is formation and personnel tendency heavy (it was actually also a problem under Smith) and it’s too easy for defenders to predict the play.
Bring in an OC who doesn’t telegraph the play by the personnel and formation and I will guarantee Tannehill looks a lot better.
You’re missing a zero on Foremans second carry in the 4thforeman had 1 carry in the 1st, 2 yds
1 carry in the 3rd, 45 yds
2 carries in the 4th, 9 and 1 yard
I agree but many said Stafford was a bad QB while playing in Detroit. I wonder if we can even find suggestions to trade for him on this site, and that’s in a span where we had Hasselbeck, Locker, Mettenberger and Mariota.Comparing the talent Stafford has in Detroit to what he has here is laughable.
Stafford is a much better QB than Tannehill and that’s not a knock on Tannehill. Stafford is easily the most underrated QB of the last decade.

Edit: I agree on Stafford being better. But Stafford had Megatron ffs, maybe the best WR ever. So don’t play the no talent around him card. The OL was bad, as is ours. RBs were not good but TEs and WR corps is on par with what we had this year.
One thing the Robinson has done differently than our last few GMs (and most NFL GMs) is he DOES address weaknesses on the team. Not always with the right guys, but he does pull the trigger. Firing Malarky, signing Clowney, then Dupree. Picking up Julio. Adding Foreman, and Cunningham. Drafting tackle, etc... Every single time we have gone into an off-season with a need, he has a least tried to address it.
I'm going to wait and see. If he thinks Downing or Tannehill are holding us back, I would bet he makes some kind of moves.
The search only goes back about a year, but I found a few “hits”. But I’m certain if you go back to his Detroit days you will find a lot of people ragging on him.Who said he was a bad QB?
It is...except the fact that we've beaten these teams multiple times in the last few years.
This is sobering.
27-3.
