The 2016 NFL week 4 hot takes feature plenty of surprises around the league including a demand of apology to two coaches who have quietly done great work.

Ryan Tannehill may not be in the future plans

Adam Gase was hired for the specific reason of using his offensive expertise to diagnose and fix quarterback Ryan Tannehill for the Miami Dolphins. Four weeks into the season it’s clearer than ever than Tannehill can be good for garbage yards, but not winning football games. His ugly performance against Cincinnati may be just what it takes to shift the thinking away from building around him to starting fresh at the position. Hard to believe considering Tannehill is just 28-years old.

Gus Bradley is by no means safe even after this win

Anybody who thinks that Gus Bradley is miraculously saved after the Jacksonville Jaguars got their first win of the season isn’t looking at facts. They had the Colts down and beat. Yet they still managed to almost give it away despite knowing Andrew Luck was the one and only guy they had to worry about. Nothing can be said of that win other than the fact that Jacksonville survived and still don’t look like the team they should. Bradley is not safe yet. Not at all.
