Tannehill, Philbin ‘on the same page’

Published

on

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill said Friday he has moved past the controversy after coach Joe Philbin was noncommittal on the team’s starter earlier this week.

“It’s done,” Tannehill said after practice in London in preparation for Sunday’s game against the Oakland Raiders at Wembley Stadium. “It’s something we faced during the week, and it’s done. Now we’re just getting ready to play. I’m excited to be here in London.”

During the week, Philbin refused to say for sure that Tannehill would be the starter. On Wednesday, Tannehill confirmed that he would start and seemed upset that he had to answer such questions.

Philbin has been criticized for refusing to name Tannehill the starter for Sunday’s game.

“I think that’s totally fair,” Philbin said of the criticism. “I think everybody is entitled to their opinion. They certainly can feel free to express it, and … at the end of the day, I have to go to sleep and put my head on the pillow and do what I think is the right thing. I have no issues with any of that.”

Tannehill repeated Friday that everything has been smoothed over with Philbin.

“We talked, and we’re good,” Tannehill said. “We’re on the same page. Like I said, we’re getting ready for this game.”

Tannehill is struggling in offensive coordinator Bill Lazor’s offense. He ranks 29th in passer rating (74.1) and 29th in completion rate (56.5 percent). His accuracy and pocket presence are often questioned. Lazor said the passing statistic he trusts most is yards per attempt. Tannehill is last in that category at 5.03 yards.

Tannehill expects the Dolphins (1-2) to respond well after a long week of travel and controversy.

“We know what the situation is,” Tannehill said. “We know we have to play well. I think we’re looking forward to getting back on the right page, back on the right foot.”
