Rex Ryan’s complex defensive schemes will be a huge challenge for Miami’s rookie quarterback Ryan Tannehill.
“They’ve got a multiple scheme,” said Dolphins coach Joe Philbin. “So we’re going to see a lot of different coverages – some combination coverages, some man coverages, some press, some off. They’ll change it up. We’ll see zone pressure, man pressure. I think, number one, it’s going to potentially be the most multiple from a coverage standpoint that [Tannehill’s] seen, so that’ll be a challenge for him.
“I’m sure they’ll mix up how much press and off (coverage). They might bump a certain guy and be off on a certain player, so that’s going to have an impact on his progressions and his reads and those type of things. They have a good blitz package. We have to be ready for that and got to be ready to adjust protections if need be. It’ll be a challenge for [Tannehill], no question.”
