Dolphins coaches believe Tannehill is a game manager who isn’t going to put the team on his back, but simply make the plays he needs to make.

QB Ryan Fitzpatrick got back on track Sunday, when he threw for 277 yards and a season-high four touchdown passes in the Jets’ 38-20 win over the Dolphins.
In that Week 4 win over the Dolphins, the Jets outgained Miami in total yards, 425-226, and held the Dolphins to 0-for-12 on third downs and 0-for-4 on fourth downs. “He’s real professional. I know he’s going to do a good job for us”. “We’ve just got to be able to adjust to what their defense is doing”. Bowles said the defensive scheme won’t change with Revis out.
The last time Fitzpatrick trimmed his beard, he threw six touchdown passes in leading Houston to victory in 2014. Not helping matters: The Dolphins, ranked last in the AFC in third-down conversions at 28 percent, went 1 for 10 against Dallas. That Lazor was sacked, however, shows that Miami’s front office (who paid him in the first place) clearly still think he’s elite, and plans to rebuild the staff to reflect that. He previously served as offensive coordinator at Virginia from 2010-12 and was an assistant coach with the Atlanta Falcons, Washington Redskins and Seattle Seahawks from 2003-09.
“Just the guys that were close to him”, Bowles said. He added that he was “definitely celebrating the great play I made. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t have done this”.
The loss dropped Miami to 4-7 on the season and completed a sweep by the Jets. Lazor has limited the audibles Tannehill can call at the line of scrimmage to the ones he chooses. The receiver even doled out a crucial block on Chris Ivory’s 31-yard, game-icing touchdown run in the fourth quarter. His completion percentage, yards per attempt and interception rate are all worse than a year ago.
Barring a sensational finish as well as some cooperation from other teams in the AFC, the Dolphins won’t be in the playoffs for the seventh consecutive year.
The final game of the day say the Chicago Bears pull off a stunning upset to defeat the Green Bay Packers 17-13. “I want to see him get back to where he was making good decisions for the team, throwing the ball accurately”, O’Brien said. The 38 points were a season high for the Jets. When you have a quarterback, you have to look at the overall scheme, not just the quarterback and as far as things are getting done, and a lot of times we just need to get on the same page. “There’s no way we should be sitting where we’re at, but we are, and that’s on our shoulders”.
“In addition, Phil McGeoghan has been promoted to wide receivers coach and Bill Lazor has been relieved of his duties as offensive coordinator”.
