The Facts: Back in late February, Tannehill started watching tape of the what the Bears did on offense under new Dolphins HC Adam Gase in 2015 and what the Broncos did under Gase as their OC in 2014. And, on his own, Tannehill put together a series of plays and route tree those Denver and Chicago offenses ran as staples. "I've watched more Denver stuff so far," Tannehill said. "I'm sure I'll get into a little more Chicago stuff. But I've watched more Denver stuff at this point, just seeing things they did well there with Peyton (Manning). I'm excited about what I see. I think the more I watch, the more excited I am about the things they did and the things we're going to be doing."
Diehards Line:
Tannehill went the extra mile because Gase has not yet handed over his playbook to any player -- firstly because that's against the NFL rules, secondly because he's still tweaking the thing and doesn't want to hand over an incomplete work. Obviously, the route running and throwing sessions are simulations of what the players believe Gase will ask them to do eventually. But the fact Jarvis Landry, DeVante Parker and other receivers are regularly getting together with Tannehill to work on this stuff well before they have to speaks to many things -- all of them good.
