Tannehill Dislikes How Philbin Handled Quarterback Question
Published at
Leon Halip/Getty Images(DAVIE, Fla.) — Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill isn’t a fan of the way his head coach didn’t declare him the starter for Sunday’s game against the Raiders.
Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin was asked multiple times this week if Tannehill would be the starting quarterback on Sunday, but the third-year head coach declined to respond.
“Obviously, it doesn’t feel good,” Tannehill said when talking about Philbin’s lack of response. “It creates a bunch of stir (and) a bunch of distraction in the locker room — mostly from the outside coming in and guys having to deal with the distraction of it. So it’s not a good feeling.”
Tannehill has said he has since talked with Philbin and it appears the 26-year-old will start Sunday in London.
This is Tannehill’s third season with the Dolphins. During that time, he has made 35 starts going 16-19, while completing 59.1% of his passes.
