The Henry dropped screen pass would’ve been a TD

Tannehill’s ugliest plays the other day were the screen passes.  Off on nearly every one

I think this is where Evan's is going to make the biggest impact.  A lot easier for these smaller shifty backs to get lost in traffic and accelerate upfield on screens.

If we were to split hairs with Tannehill's game....he doesn't do a great job with touch passes.    Instead of dropping the ball in with a bit of air under it, Tannehill often tends to put a bit more zip on the ball than is needed....so instead of delivering an easy floater to his receiver, it's more like a slow line drive, which is a bit harder to bring in.    And if the throw is slightly off target, it's just that much more difficult.

 

It's essentially the same thing that happened last week on the end zone throw to AJB.     Was the ball catchable?  Sure....AJB could have done a better job.   But putting a bit more air under the ball would have made for a much easier catch....so Tannehill could have done a better job as well.

 

It's not a huge deal in the grand scheme of things....he's still playing at a very, very high level.    But that lack of consistency on touch passes is an area where he's not quite at the level of the truly elite QBs.

Seems as if he has the ability to when he has a defender about to lay him out...some of his best passes!

Im a huge Evans fan. Cant wait to see him play.

I'm sure AJ Brown would say he should have caught it and Tannehill would say it was a hair too far. IMO, Brown has to go get that ball. It goes through his hands

That ball didn't go through his hands

While I agree with this, other than Mahomes and, maybe, Rodgers, none of the guys with elite touch passes can match Tannehill when it comes to throws into tight windows or throws on the run.

Just wish he would heal the hell up.

Impossible to tell conclusively from the video. If it was off,it was by no more than 6 inches. Then we can debate if Brown timed his jump properly, or reached out far enough, etc. Either way, I bet Brown thinks he should have caught it. Harder catches get made every week.
