ShadowCreek Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 Some of the things that Will Levis did in his first game were already so much better than Tannehill (not to mention Mariota) could ever have done. A lot of these, you just have the natural talent, otherwise it's very hard to learn. 1, Deep ball, Throws will a beautiful arc like Russell Wilson in his prime. The most important thing for deep ball is to throw with a high arc, making it a lot easier for the receivers to catch and harder for DBs to defend. Tannehill's deep balls always looked like a line drive, very hard for receivers to catch. 2, Play actions. Levis has smooth and natural motion and footwork, looks like he is handing the ball off. Tannehill just stretches his football hand out for a mere moment and and pulls back right away. very obvious and not effective. 3. Pump fakes and shoulder nod. Again very natural and Levis already did these multiple time in one game with great effectiveness. Tannehill was never able to do it consistently like Levis did. 4. Audible, already seen Levis making adjustments at the line several times in one game, which I don't recall Tannehill doing much this season. 5. Also, everything he did you just felt that he was doing a lot quicker, handing off, footwork, and most importantly, quick releases.

scine09 Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 The playaction fake was another thing I noticed in addition to everything that's been discussed. It was definitely better than anything that Tannehill ever did. oldschool, OILERMAN, and BudsOilers 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somedude Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 It would be funny if 3 out of the 4 teams in the division drafted their long term franchise QB in the same draft. Callidus, and Number9 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like whatever Tannehill does there worked just fine.... Plus it's the line action that freezes the pass rush - not the RB or the play fake..... pat 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going to throw picks but then you'll have days like Sunday. Should be fun ride either way. Looking forward to the Titans game Thursday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaTitan Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) Man….it sure looks like all the defense needed was some strong QB play to light a fire under them… right @big2033?

scine09 Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) Obviously Tannehill had success with PA, I was just making a general statement over what I saw in one game. Regardless, it’s just one game and I’m trying not to make too much of it. Edited October 31, 2023 by scine09 OILERMAN, and reo 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

XAEA12 Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) Tannehill has done some very impressive things with the Titans. Saying what Levis did in his first start is more than anything Tannehill has done here is incredibly wrong Edited November 1, 2023 by XAEA12 freakingeek 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
XAEA12 Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 And I think Tannehill is cooked and it’s Levis’ time, but come on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
XAEA12 Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 Just these 4-5 first plays in this reel, I’d really like to see Levis hit some dimes over the middle like that. Also those deep balls all those guys were wide open, he wasn’t hitting them perfectly and they weren’t defended well, he the most accurate passer this past Sunday.
