Quarterbacks Coach Bo Hardegree

(I guess we have to start with QB Ryan Tannehill and his knee. Are there any limitations? Have you noticed any limitations?) – “I haven’t noticed anything. He’s looking great in practice. He was moving around today in 2-minute drill, which was our first day. We put in 2-minutes today. He was making some plays, unscheduled plays like we expect him to do, an athletic quarterback. He’s looking good.”

(How is QB Ryan Tannehill better? He’s talked about and Head Coach Adam Gase has talked about sitting and learning. How is that tangible out there?) – “It just helps you make quicker decisions. The big thing at the quarterback position is being able to play fast and think less, and just go out and react, and knowing the offense which, our quarterbacks … Being in his third year, he is handling all of the Mike points. He’s up there getting everybody lined up. We’re rolling, trying to play fast and he’s doing a really good job of that.”

(When you look to evaluate a backup quarterback, because that’s the competition this year, what do those guys have to do to win that job?) – “They have to be able to execute and also they have to be able to get all 10 other guys on the same page. That’s what you look for is communication. It’s a big part because we’re no huddle. How do they operate? How do they get in and out of plays? The big thing we talk about is we have to learn how to be able to not lose before we can win, and be able to save those plays and get us to a check down. Those are big things that I look for and we do as a staff.”

(From what you saw out of QB David Fales in that game last year, was it encouraging? Was it a step in the right direction?) – “It was definitely encouraging. He did some things that you don’t get to see in practice in the pocket with pocket presence. I wasn’t surprised at some things that he did, making some plays with his legs. He does a really good job of getting the ball out fast because he is a very smart person. He operates and it’s good for (Head Coach) Adam Gase to be able to call plays like that knowing, again, that he’s not going to put us in a losing situation. He’s going to get the ball out of his hands and we’re going to stay on schedule – first down, second down, first down, second down, that’s what we try to do.”

(As far as QB Brock Osweiler, what have you seen that you like from him?) – “I knew Brock at Denver when I was there. Obviously he’s been at a couple of different places since then. He’s a very good communicator. That’s what you talk about, a communicator. We’re doing some things mechanically with him to kind of make everything consistent, which he’s doing a really good job. I think he’s throwing the ball really well and he’s really fun to be around. It’s a good that we have right now, that we’re working with this offseason.”

(QB Brock Oswieler’s grasp of the offense, obviously his first year in the system.) – “He’s really strong with it. He understands what we’re looking for. He gets the ball out of his hands and he’s a good communicator as far as for a coach too. He’ll come right back to you and say I should’ve done this or what do you think about this. He wants to learn on every play and you love that as a coach.”
