Was listening to the radio on the way home. Remember how Gruden was commenting on Tanny needing to change his snap count, because TB was getting a great jump on the ball? Seems there's an even bigger tell, and a bigger problem that the team has been ignoring.
On pass plays, he calls "GO" when he wants the snap, and when it's a running play, he says "GO-GO".
...
Seriously....
When I heard this, I almost drove off the road. This is something a local beat writer, Omar Kelly, asked the coaches about weeks ago, and it's even been brought up to Tannehill himself. Nothing has changed. I never even noticed it, but this seems to be confirmed.
This isn't even hs level, this is some pee-wee level nonsense right here. Are you fucking kidding me? Telegraphing your calls? No wonder run plays get snuffed-out so quick, and Tannehill ends up on his back. If you're a LB, you just pin your ears back if you hear him call "go", and don't even think twice.
How fucking embarrassing is this? How is this allowed to go unchanged for this long? I don't even know anymore. This team is puzzling.
On a lighter note, Lebatard had an awesome spoof song of the Incognito situation. It's a version of The Association's "Windy" but the hook goes "Everyone knows it's Richie".
"Who's stomping 'round the Dolphins facility
toughening up everybody he sees?
Who's cracking skulls and stealing from rookies
everyone knows it's Richie."
Some hilarious lines in it, and very well produced. It's all done by a fan too. I'm trying to find a link to it online, or I'll try to snip it from Monday's podcast and upload to YT. Probably the best thing to come out of the whole incident. PEACE.
