The only real thoughts I have leading up to this game is that Tannehill is rolling out and throwing on the move the vast majority of the time. Teams often do that to not only escape pressure but to shorten the window a young QB has to read and react to. This isn't one of those rookies that has been playing in 7 on 7 leagues forever and started every game since he was a redshirt freshman. He does play under his college coach and that has to help. Long and Quinn set out wide in their base defense present a great problem for that.
Bush is a problem for Quinn's side. The OLB and the Dend realy have to work in tandem to make the wide 9 work properly. This is where I also think the depth Laurinaitis drops may help. He is in a better position to cut off Bush at an angle if he breaks free then he is if he chases down the line. McIntosh and Quinn have to set an edge and contain him.
The Rams win almost every matchup of their wides versus our corners and their corners versus our wides even without Amendola.
Wake versus Richaradson pretty much tells me that Kendricks isn't going to be featured in the passing game.
Really anxious to see how the play on the road this week.
Tannehill does not roll out and throw the majority of the time, maybe 40%. When he does however he's very accurate. Very poised in the pocket, makes great audibles, and handles pressure pretty well. Your defense may be caught off guard if the OC decides to use rookie Lamar Miller in the passing game. Miller will back up Bush since Daniel Thomas is hurt. Anxious to see how Jonathan Martin plays against Long.
I thought that the knock on Miller was that he struggled in the passing game. He does have fantastic breakaway speed (great compliment to Thomas actually; the two of them should be fixtures for Miami in the future), but I thought that his hands and pass-blocking were a bit suspect. I'm also anxious to see how Long will play against Martin. Martin's a good young tackle, but Long has victimized other young right tackles before (see Davis, Anthony). Will also be excited to see how Langford/Brockers handles Incognito. Both teams have solid defensive lines, so we may not see much of the tight ends in the passing game.
All in all, it should be a very fun game to watch. I'm expecting a Rams win, but it's going to be very close. That was a good first post you had there, Phin93. Always nice to see a respectful opposing fan.
