Well, here we go again: Write one more time why Ryan Tannehill is the key to another dolphin season. What is it, six, seven times now? It has become embarrbading to write this column about Tannehill, year after year, because every year really looks like its year to prove itself.
Every year, something goes into it too. Bullygate was shipwrecked a year. The late shot of coach Joe Philbin made another one. There was a knee injury just as Tannehill had found his pace with current coach Adam Gase in 2016, then the injury last August that cost him a full season.
So, it is the year. is, I believe it too. Any problem that holds Tannehill is gone. Everything is on him now. Gase, unlike Philbin, is completely behind Tannehill to the point that their careers are happily bound together. The Dolphins even managed to recruit one of the best quarterbacks available because they believed in Tannehill.
For another, there is Tannehill's free time. The knee healed to the degree that it says, "At this point, it is as if nothing has ever happened." There is also the idea that, in retrospect, this 19-game break can be rewritten positively.
I grew up a lot as a leader, "Tannehill said. "I grew up as a football player, just because of the adversity that I faced." Being able to step back and look at it from a different point of view and to take this information, rank it, write it.
"I come back looking at my notes of things that strike me. I just relied on this experience that, although I would never want that to happen, I'm not sure. has been of invaluable help.
Finally, the last reason to believe that it's finally his proof-it's the year is this is his team completely now. You could not say that before, as we now know the Alpha males as Jarvis Landry and Mike Pouncey were not fully on board with Tannehill.
He is the old man now.
He will be 30 years old on Friday.
"I do not feel old, I do not feel myself about to turn 30. But I'm one of the old ones." I played a lot of football here in Miami It's a fun transition in the past, pbading from a young man to a veteran. "
As if to emphasize this idea, Tannehill played with his 2-year-old son on the field after the ### 39th drive Thursday while talking with his pregnant wife. He's not just an adult now. He grew up a family. He has grown old, at least by the way sports keep the score.
The season rests on him, of course Gase says that's not the case, he says that this equ ipe can win, if it was lost, but we saw what happened last year when it was lost, it was not pretty, as this is usually not the case. Look in Houston when DeShaun Watson fell, Green Bay when Aaron Rodgers fell, Arizona when Carson Palmer fell.
Of course, Minnesota did great without Sam Bradford, and Philadelphia won the Super Bowl without Carson Wentz. Dolphins are not these teams. Their list is not so strong. David Fales
He is doing something with a knee brace saying "Ryan Tannehill 2.0" as if it was a new, improved version of him this year. He also released a video in social media showing him working with receivers this offseason, maybe a shot at Landry saying that Tannehill would not work with him.
No quarter is harder. A simpler approach to his craft, as he again showed Tannehill when asked what he wants for his 30th birthday
"Great day of practice," he said.
It's Tannehill. people love him in life, but rooting for him does not change the conclusion: it's his year to prove himself, whether he does it or not, but that's This is the last time this kind of column is written to start a training. camp.
