I see you, Dol. Never paid much attention to Tannehill's relese but clearly he has a quick one and recognizes he has to account for his questionable pass blocking. Peyton is The Greatest. He could have an extra second to spare, but he can't help it if he recognizes the coverage so quickly. His little brother is awful. He's almost in the group with the runners despite his O-Line quality that has seemingly fallen off a cliff. Dalton is surprising at 4. My teams line is at an all time low. Almost 5 rushes per quarter against an immobile QB is a recipe for losing.Rogers at 6 just illustrates his stupid arm. He extends a lot of plays, but...With Cutler getting a little older, Stafford has the Standard Arm in the league now I think. 2.23 is Marino-esque.

I don't take the release time as Tannehill having a quick release and really don't think he's more than average there. Simply that he has to release it quick or take a sack because our line is perhaps the worst in the league. We are on pace for the worst rushing season in team history and easily the most sacks in team history. Clabo is trash in pass blocking and not much better run blocking and our 2nd year LT might even be worse. Matt has been hit or hurried a lot but he's avoided sacks to help out y'all's bad offensive line. Some of those numbers were very surprising though.

Yeah this is about how fast your QB has to chuck and duck. What it shows me though is how bad Vick has regressed. It also shows that Tannehill is a pretty good QB. Look at those times to throw and then compare them to interception rates etc. The cream rises to the top.

Tannehill has been great against the blitz since coming into the league. Last year he had the highest QB rating against the blitz and he was picking defenses apart early... then they figured it out and stopped blitzing so much and he struggled against base coverage. This year defenses aren't blitzing us that much because he's still picking them apart but it looks like they're blitzing based on that time to throw the ball but the truth is our tackles are really that bad that 4 man lines are getting to Tannehill in 2.5 seconds. Every game you can literally watch Clabo and Martin get walked right back into Tannehill like they were sleds and not actual 300+ lb men who can push back.

With Vick I think his delivery time is a little deceptive as his line gives him all day to throw sometimes and he scrambles so much so that skews the times as well.

What this really shows you is how incredible Peyton is with getting the ball out in 2.28 seconds and still having that many yards, TDs and I think still 0 INTs right?

Naw Peyton threw one Sunday against Dallas.

Oh my bad, still though what's that 20 something TDs to 1 INT and doing that with an average time to pass of 2.28 seconds? That's ridiculous!

I've felt that the Lions O-line has done great this season and it's much improved vs. past seasons. Stafford hasn't really been Stafford this year though especially with Megatron dealing w/ injuries. And yes, I am a Lions fan too. lol And I am pretty sure the Falcons have the worst O-line in the league. Ryan is constantly operating in a phone booth. Ryan with time would be lethal.

I don't know if the Dalcons line is worse than Miami's as a unit, although I know our tackles are the worst. I think they're 64th and 66th rated tackles in the NFL and that's just pathetic. Being a Lions fan, are you getting frustrated by Reggie Bush's dancing yet? And his ridiculously inconsistent play? When Reggie is on he's an incredible weapon but on the days where he's not he's a huge liability since he's not much of a pass protector or short yardage back. I don't know that I could be a Lions fan with that turd Suh on the team. Other than him y'all have a pretty good team though. Come a long way from the Matt Millen days!
