It was a big day for Tannehill, who missed 19 straight games with two injuries. Credit coach Adam Gase and the Dolphins for not panicking and drafting the next supposed heir to Marino, and for giving Tannehill one more chance in 2018 to show he can be an above-average NFL starter, a player who can win in Miami. He was accurate Sunday against a 2017 playoff team, completing 20 of 28, but he also threw two picks and said later: “It was up and down. A few throws I’d really like to have back.”

In that spirit, I liked what Tannehill told me about Miami’s day off. Coaches often give players “victory Monday,” an extra day off in additional to Tuesday, when the team either is tired or had a big win. Gase gave the team Monday off. But Tannehill went to his offensive mates and said he thought they should come in to dissect the tape today, then leave for a day-and-a-half of rest. “I went around and told everyone we’ve got to get better, and we should take time in our [position] groups to watch this game,” Tannehill said. “I was glad to see everyone wanted to do it.” Especially after a seven-hour game."

Running with that leadership role, love it!

Excellent.  Happy to see him taking ownership.

Personally, I expect players to be dissecting film tape on Monday. I don't think that is too much to ask. It isn't like the task is that hard.

Unless the team is coming back from a road trip they ought to be in there for Movie Mondays.

So perhaps Gase was right that there was a culture change needed? Seems like Tannehill is more comfortable taking the lead and perhaps getting some backing from the veterans like Amendola and Gore who know what it takes to win consistently.

Something can be said for, win and you can spend .Monday having fun, lose and spend monday watching film and hearung how you fucked up on Sunday as a reward punishment incentive.
