Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase plans on bringing a little hokus pokus back to the Magic City, not by pulling a rabbit out of his new orange and aqua cap, but by giving Ryan Tannehill the freedom to do what he does best….roll out of the pocket and make big plays on the run. Yet, before we explore how such a simple trick might transform the Dolphins offense from a sputtering clunker into a high octane machine, we should ask ourselves what inspired Gase to attempt such a feat in the first place.
As it happens, Gase came to appreciate Tannehill’s mobility long before becoming the head coach of the Dolphins, having witnessed his effectiveness as both a passer and runner while still the offensive coordinator of the Denver Broncos.
