No way he would have won an open competition with a credible QB and that includes Tannehill. I mean, I dont disagree that he's a douche... But he did win a competition with Tannehill and WIllis - straight up. How the heck do you think he ended up starting if he didnt win a comp? They nepo'd him in? Like, Tannehill wasnt and hasnt been re-signed by anyone and Levis is still on the team and - as of now - our starter. He flat out won it and the team is better for it today.

Unless there's a way for all these players to go before 35 then yes. I think we're now at 42 players who are sure to be gone by 35.

Tannehill was the clear starter and way better than Levis in TC by all accounts and then he got hurt. The team wasn't contending so the FO pivoted to Levis to see what he had. Something that was a big reason why Vrabel wanted out because he knew Tannehill gave them the best chance to win games. Tannehill didn't play well in 2023 but he did play better than Levis. The combo of the NO game for Tannehill and the mirage ATL game for Levis made you dullards think otherwise. Levis didn't even beat Willis out and Rudolph outplayed him last TC too..... titanruss, DecepticonShawn2, Justafan, and 1 other 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsntLifeFunny Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 He beat him out because Tannehill was fucking done and injured. That's where he beat him out. Did you not see him at the end of 23 when he got to start? He looked like a shell of himself and then retired... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsntLifeFunny Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 I have no problem admitting I was obviously wrong on Levis developing. I never thought he was a franchise QB merely that the team would build around him and treat him like one for at least a year. But whatever. Anyone who wants to recreate reality that Tannehill was fucking awful in 23 and then succinctly retired on his way into the sunset without a single visit to any team needs to stop with the mental gymnastics. I loved Tannehill. He was completely shot by the middle of 23 after the beating he took in 21 and 22. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And WSU one as well - the Mumme, Leach tree... https://247sports.com/college/miami/article/miami-hurricanes-football-offensive-coordinator-shannon-dawson-shares-his-views-on-his-offensive-system--205033224/ Miami ran the ball 45% of the time, throwing 55%. Air RAID is a blanket term that’s lost its meaning. Anything that is more passing is now “AIRRaid”. The Actual AirRaid Leech ran would see passing make up 70-80% of the playcalls. Miami didn’t run the “Airraid”. Drives me nuts it’s become a blanket term. BudsOilers 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenths78 Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 (edited) Mike Leach the actual guy who created the Airraid, and who Kingsberry played then coached under at Texas Tech passed on average 70-75% of all downs looking back at it now. Miami Hurricanes last year: Pass% 54.70 That’s not an AirRaid. Everytime anyone likes to throw the ball a little more than run now, talking heads say oh they run an airraid. No, no they do not.

BudsOilers Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 Wrong again. Too bad the coordinator says that’s what he runs…..and given we’re talking about Ward and passing, the run pass ratio means dick. The scheme in the passing game is the air raid. Btw the coach leach learned under created the offense and taught it to this guy at Miami.

If you go to Wiki the definition of an AirRaid system clearly is defined by passing plays above 65%.

Everyone knows that! In all seriousness though, no one runs an AirRaid. take 2024, the highest team in pass% in CFB was San Jose State at 64%. source: https://www.teamrankings.com/college-football/stat/passing-play-pct It fails the criteria to be considered a true air raid offense. The media and coaches exaggerate in college frequently and say insert person runs an Airraid, when literally no one does. They say Heupel at Tennessee does… In reality, Heupel while he coached under Leach and Briles runs 50+%, Tennessee doesn’t run an AirRaid. I don’t get the frequency today of the media/coaches in CFB calling non-air raid offenses air raids , but it happens all the time & it still drives me crazy a bit when it does.

He ended up starting didnt he? Wasnt Levis injured in TC? Bud, if you think entire year has already been figured out in TC then I've got a bridge to sell you. Positional battles are a year long event... and if you think everyone that was a day 1 starter deserves to be the game 17 starter - thank god you arent making football decisions. Levis won the QB battle plain and simple.. it was just mid year instead of day 1. BudsOilers, and OILERMAN 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had been capable of reading the article I linked you’d know this. “Everybody throws the words Air-Raid around a bunch, but everybody is just looking to take what defenses will give you,” Dawson said. “We are trying to put the ball in space, make somebody miss, and get up the field... "We put more emphasis in the run game and with being more physical,” Dawson said. “With coach Mumme, we didn’t hand it off too many times. We have evolved from that to being more balanced. Our pass game with our routes and concepts hasn’t changed much throughout the years" Seems steventh if not able to communicate it has a point. The truth is in the middle. The Air Raid offense has adapted even if the concepts are still similar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
