Everything went wrong. Tannehill had his first career start against the Texans in Houston and finished with 3 INTs. Not to mention some tipped passes, but in his defense Jonathan Martin did him no favors by letting J.J. Watts, a stud of a DE for the Texans, swat balls like flies. What was supposed to be a day of hope turned to despair, and now everybody is questioning Tannehill. REALLY!? The kid went up against one of the best Pass Defenses in the NFL last season, his receiving corp is one of if not the worst group in the NFL, and the O-Line had no trace of a pocket for the QB to be comfortable in. Add that and a struggling defense and Ryan Tannehill has NO HELP whatsoever. Give him a break, he's got a year before anybody can start criticizing him. As for the Canes.....
They also have been struggling. In a loss that was worse than the blowout against UVA in the closing game of the Orange Bowl, Miami's defense has given up nearly 1,000 yards of total offense.... in just 2 game. That's not bad... that's HORRENDOUS. Whatever happens against Bethune Cookman, Miami cannot afford to show any sort of weakness against an inferior team. (God I hope this doesn't get close) As for the offense, more consistency and aggresive playcalling, they'll be fine. They'd be wise to get Randy "Duke" Johnson the ball more. There is a lot of talk about whether Duke should be the starter. As much as I hate to say it, he does need to be the #1. Mike James is one of the greatest people I've had the good graces of meeting, but when it comes to talent on the football field Duke has the edge. Mike's talent lacks what Duke brings to the table.
I am back in the swing of radio so stay logged to www.wvum.org so you can listen to talk shows and broadcasts. This week I'll be broadcasting the Bethune Cookman Game with Chris Wyttingham and Nick Greenberg. So hop on there and listen in!
Stay Schemin Miami
