It’s a bad play design. You would normally drop a DT with QB spy responsibility on a zone blitz. The hope is to confuse the QB enough to allow the blitzer to get there. Dropping an extra lineman in a cover 2 scheme is ineffective there. Tannehill had all day to make a decision and waited until his man came free inbetween zones easily crossing Taven.

I don't know what play you're watching.  We actually had decent edge pressure on the weak side (for a change) but Tannehill threw the ball in about 2.5 seconds.  We don't get to the QB in 2.5 seconds even when we blitz.  The play was poorly executed by Jack... his eyes were in the wrong spot.  The design and call were good... the execution by Jack was not.  If you don't understand that, you're just being emotional and nothing I can tell you will help you get it. But that's fine.

On 3rd and goal from the 5... yah, I do.  The scheme and call were good on this play.  Now, if you want to argue Wash or the LB coach didn't do their job well teaching Jack how to execute on this play, I'm with you. Again, I hear a bunch of emotional complaining from people about the D, but no one with enough tactical knowledge to say what they would do differently with the shortage of talent we have on our team to make it better.

Please go back and watch that play again. Jack had no chance because of the stupid zone coverage.

Jack had to stay in that space. If Jack comes up to stop the TE, the WR coming over the middle in the end zone is open. If Jack comes up, the RB is wide open in the flat because the CB couldn't come up quickly. Jack stayed back in his zone to take away those 2 easy TDs but couldn't come up quick enough for the tackle.

It wasn't his fault, the play was setup to fail 3 ways.
