Ryan Tannehill Most Accurate When Throwing Others Under Bus
Ryan Tannehill might be running out of people to blame for the step back he took this season.
The Dolphins quarterback added recently fired offensive coordinator Bill Lazor to the list of those who have wronged him this season. Tannehill told the Miami Herald he’s enthused for the switch to promoted quarterbacks coach Zac Taylor.
“I’m excited about the step we’re taking,” Tannehill said. “I’m excited about some new things that we’ll be doing on offense and having Zac at the helm.”
The paper says Tannehill was bothered by Lazor’s rigid playcalling system that offered Tannehill little room for creativity at the line of scrimmage. But in Lazor’s first season in 2014, Tannehill enjoyed a career year, throwing for a career high in touchdowns (27) and a career low in interceptions (12), which earned him a fat $96 million extension ($45 million guaranteed) before this season.
Tannehill has regressed this year — as have the 4-7 Dolphins as a whole — costing head coach Joe Philbin his job and now Lazor. Tannehill has wilted at the slightest sign of defensive pressure, but has gone on the offensive off the field.
Tannehill received criticism earlier this season for mocking practice squad players, against whom he was struggling in practice.
“Enjoy your practice squad paycheck, enjoy your practice squad trophy,” Tannehill allegedly said to taunt the roster extras.
He later denied the paycheck portion, but not the rant entirely.
And after the Dolphins got crushed 38-20 by the Jets on Sunday, Tannehill called Jets safety Calvin Pryor “classless” for a hit on Rishard Matthews. Pryor responded by blaming an errant throw by the beleaguered quarterback.
What’s clear when it comes to Tannehill is it’s always someone else’s fault.
