OFFICIAL @MIAMIDOLPHINS 2016 PLAYOFFS! THREAD (10-6) :::: NEXT: WILDCARD Vs @STEELERS 1:00PM EST CB

• It’s time to put to rest criticism of Ryan Tannehill’s deep ball, and not because of the long throw to Kenny Stills against Dallas. Consider: Presnapreads.com says Tannehill was accurate on 54.4 percent of 68 passes thrown at least 20 yards in the air last season, which includes well-thrown balls that were dropped. That was tied with Tyrod Taylor for fourth-best in the NFL behind Ben Roethlisberger, Andrew Luck and Cam Newton.

“He can throw a deep ball fine and it will definitely improve,” Dolphins quarterbacks coach Bo Hardegree said.

And on all passes, Tannehill lost 717 yards last season (second behind only Newton) on catchable passes that weren’t caught. And that doesn’t even include potential yards after catch.

Miko/Omar/finnns gonna be pissed when they see this.
 
• One of the quiet storylines from the preseason has been the quick adjustment of Ryan Tannehill to Adam Gase’s offense in Miami.

You can tell when a quarterback’s comfortable in an offense, and when I watched Tannehill on tape in Week 2 at Dallas, I saw a decisive player making the right decisions.

The interesting thing about this is how multifaceted the Gase offense is, and how quickly Tannehill has taken to it. Gase’s offense has some Tom Moore/Peyton Manning inventiveness to it, some Josh McDaniels/Patriots chameleon to it, some West Coast to it.

“One of the things Peyton said to me in Denver was, ‘You can always know how much a guy can see in an offense by not drawing it up—but just by talking about it,’ ” Gase told me Saturday. “So you know a guy knows it, just when you talk about it and you’re on the same page and it’s clear. That’s how I am with Ryan. He embraced everything in the offense from day one. He was, How do I do this better? Right away I knew how much he was invested. Already it’s showing up. His decision-making has been good—he’s been getting the ball out quick. He has a feel when he can change something, and I’m trusting him with that.

We’re all still learning. It’s going to be a while before we get too exotic. But it’s encouraging, what we’ve seen so far.”

From Peter King. Wonder why Omar ain't get these quotes??????
 
Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill is doing his job. Now it’s up to the people who catch his passes – the tight ends and wide receivers – to do theirs.

The Dolphins’ wide receivers and tight ends have too many dropped passes so far, the bulk of those coming in the last two games against Dallas and Atlanta.

“I think we have to clean up the drops,” coach Adam Gase said Sunday.

Here’s the way you have to look at this situation: the wide receivers and tight ends must make Tannehill better, not the other way around.

The Dolphins have waited four years for Tannehill to make the receivers better and it hasn’t worked.

The notable exceptions this preseason have been wide receiver Kenny Stills, who has been outstanding, and tight end Dion Sims, who has met expectations.

The other starting-caliber pass catchers have been shaky.

Unofficially, tight end Jordan Cameron has three drops (two in the end zone), wide receiver Jarvis Landry has three (two in the end zone), wide receiver DeVante Parker has two (one in the end zone).

Landry, the 2015 Pro Bowl selection, also has two penalties in the last two weeks.

But let’s focus on the drops.

Tannehill has been an accurate passer. For the most part he’s putting the ball on the money.

Sure, some of the "drops" are borderline. For example, the one Landry had in the front left corner of end zone against Dallas when Tannehill fired a bullet his way -- that’s a tough call to blame it on Landry.

And many of the other drops have come on what would have been tough catches.

Landry had one such play in the end zone against Dallas, as did Parker. Cameron had a drop in the end zone that would have been a tough catch against Atlanta, and Parker had a drop on a deep pass against Atlanta that would have been a tough catch.

If you’re a good corps of pass catchers, however, you must make a lot of those tough catches.

The wide receivers know they’ve struggled. Gase said they worked extra on distraction drills in Sunday’s practice.

“This is a very prideful group ... and they don’t want to be the guy to drop the ball in big situations,” Gase said.

Many who follow the Dolphins expected the wide receivers to be among the list of the team's most trusted units this season.

But they must earn that status each season on action, not potential.

And so far the tight ends and receivers, with the exception of Stills and Sims, have only proven to be average.

Oh word? Other players have to do their jobs too? Really?

No they won't.
Other than Finns because he is in the thread, it will be ignored and looked over.
 
Side note... to be fair to finns...
He really hasn't had hus pitchfork lit up this season.
He's seen reason in the conversations we've had. Wouldn't call him a fan, but he hasn't called for his head either.
 
Lmao... can't argue with that.
It's in the future.

All I know is the now my friend.











But it's a good probability.

Am told Dolphins received a 7th round pick from Saints in that Chris McCain trade.

Barry Jackson ‏@flasportsbuzz 1h1 hour ago

Really? That's it... McCain was showin up though.

Weird. Wonder what prompted that.
 
Way too much depth on he D-line, Chris has talent, leverage him.

He's gonna be a good player.
 
I feel he's better as a 3-4 olb pass rusher, smart for Saints.

But giving him away for a conditional 7th? I just see no point.
 
He was getting cut. Not much leverage........I'm surprised we got anything at all
