    Ok, then I guess we should consider the previous 2 years as somewhat of the capabilities.

    I think we’ve seen a whole bunch of different issues play into his decline. Yes, he himself is not playing great, add that with OL issues (exacerbates his decline), add that with no name WR (exacerbates his decline more), add the offensive scheme of eliminating the TE usage (or TE decline big time) either exacerbate his decline.


    All said, he outplayed his abilities the last 2 years and now that his numbers are averaging out, it’s been heightened by the additional short comings of the entire offenses problems.

    Probably easier to throw to them when they’re on the field and healthy. Jones is a bust (still) and I’m not sure when brown got hurt as far as still playing but IR time will definitely cut down on the targets.

    He didn’t seem to have issue hitting Brown the last couple years. What changed? Maybe that conversation isn’t just a THill problem.

    Probably just Fat Randy and Kern need to watch for that. I’m sure Meyer kicked Lambo because he’s the 1 guy on the team that might be smaller than him.

    Im sure it’s a combination of things. Teams are defending the deep ball, playing more 2 deep safeties, OC scheming up pass plays to help the pass rush, etc.

    No one has said it’s JUST a Tannehill problem. But he is absolutely 100% apart of the problem. But it’s time we stop babying him.

    Plenty have said he’s THE problem. That’s where conversations like benching him for Woodside come from.

    I agree he’s part of the problem but the best cure for the team and THill specifically, is get the team back in good health. Glad to see Brown is a possibility Thursday. Just waiting for that news in regards to Henry and which game he’ll be ready for. I think we’ll see improvement from THill the first game Henry is back.

    But if Lambo kicked him back he'd be launched further than Josh Norman

    I have no doubts Tanny will rebound and continue to be an excellent QB for us. Right now he has absolutely no faith in ANY of our receivers and for good reason. They have been truly awful.

    There is NO reason Downing shouldn’t have just pulled a Belicheat in that Steelers game and run it EVERY SINGLE DOWN. We were averaging 5+ yards per carry! We ran it the entire first half and marched it down the field controlling the clock the whole time. So what adjustments does Downing make at halftime?! He decides to pass it 75% of the time in the 2nd half and the Titans don’t do squat.

    Would of been better than what we ended up doing. Watching that loss was just a kick in the balls man. Glad I didn't break something, but I'm all grown up now

    This was so on point. I don't remember when it was but there was a series we were running it down their throat and we get inside the 20 and suddenly he goes pass crazy...we had the chance to step on their throat and instead Downing is the one choking.

    I don't like him...I have no faith he is the answer at OC and I won't until a major change in this offense happens. There is a big coaching gap somewhere with the way our WRs play.
