et play with no time left Chandler Cox Miami Dolphins Jerseys , to win the game, has rightly received most of the attention in the aftermath of Miami’s victory over New England last Sunday, what has been overlooked by many is just how well Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill played in this game. The seventh year quarterback threw for a modest 265 yards, but did so on just nineteen attempts, averaging a ridiculous 13.9 yards per throw for a nearly 74 percent completion rate and three touchdowns. Oh, and just for good measure, he turned in a 155 point quarterback rating, besting Tom Brady’s rating for the game by more than forty points. Sure, Brady threw for nearly a hundred yards more than Tannehill, and matched him in touchdown passes with three, but he had to throw it 43 times to do it Miami Dolphins Jerseys 2019 , and with the Dolphins gashing New England for nearly two hundred yards on the ground, Miami didn’t have to throw all that much; when the Patriots stacked the line of scrimmage to stop the run, Tannehill, like any good veteran QB, threw over the top of them, completing passes of 43, 24, 23 and 15 yards to Stills, Gore, Butler and Parker, respectively. His throw to newly acquired WR Brice Butler in the third quarter to vault the Dolphins back into the lead was money Chandler Cox T-Shirts Jersey , as was his 43 yard strike in the second to Kenny Stills, when dropped the throw into a proverbial bucket behind two New England defenders.If I’ve been critical of Tannehill over the years, along with the team’s repeated attempts to go out and get him the best wide receivers money, and draft picks, can buy, I also don’t mind giving him credit for a brilliant performance in front of the home crowd, in what amounted to a playoff game. One thing I’ve noticed about Ryan’s throws over the past couple of seasons is that he seems to be getting better spin on the ball as he releases it; he’s not putting up as many wobblers as he used to, which helps the ball get to his receivers quicker and makes it that much easier to catch when it arrives. Although he’ll never possess superior field presence, he’s also starting to step up in the pocket more often, allowing the up-field charge of the defense’s pass rushers to carry them harmlessly past him as he gets off the throw.So, Cranehead Infant Chandler Cox Jersey , what about that situation with the draft picks that you’ve been going on and on about for the past six weeks, you ask? Well, I’m still concerned about the draft, and this coming off season in general, because like most observers, I believe the Dolphins are going to need quite a bit of help to get past the ‘one and done’ stage of playoff football. But that’s only my perspective as a fan; the guys who play, and who coach for this team, want to win every single game they play, and I guarantee you that they plan on knocking off the Minnesota Vikings this week in Minneapolis. And you know what? I think the Dolphins can beat the Vikings. Heck, if they could beat Chicago with Brock Osweiler at quarterback, they ought to be able to beat Minnesota with Tannehill lining up under center. The fast indoor surface at U.S. Bank Stadium bodes well for the Dolphins’ team speed on both sides of the ball Chandler Cox Jersey nfl draft , and the Vikings just fired their offensive coordinator this week; it’s hard to envision them coming out their first game with the new guy and lighting up the scoreboard.The Dolphins have looked like a team of destiny the past two weeks, and when I saw the play they pulled off to win the game against New England, a line from one of my favorite songs growing up came to mind: ”I watched my television, almost lost my mind and it said, ‘Open your eyes and feel it . . .”Have a great week, everybody. Miami Dolphins coach Adam Gase offered a passionate defense of Ryan Tannehill on Thursday, saying his beleaguered quarterback has showed improvement that continued into the start of this season.Tannehill will miss his fourth consecutive game Sunday against the New York Jets because of an injury to his throwing shoulder. Replacement Brock Osweiler has gone 1-2 as the starter but has played well, providing fresh fodder for Tannehill's many critics.Gase dismissed those detractors in the media and elsewhere who argue it's time for Miami (4-4) to find another quarterback."What qualifications are we talking about with the people saying that? None," Gase said. "So I don't really care what anybody else thinks."Tannehill, 30, became Miami's starter as a rookie in 2012 and still hasn't won a playoff game. He is 40-42 as a starter Chandler Cox Miami Dolphins Jerseys , but 10-3 since midseason of 2016. He missed all of last year because of a knee injury."You have an athletic guy that can move around as much as he can, and then his arm strength has been something that I've never been around before," Gase said."He has some rare qualities that you can't find in a lot of guys physically. The more that he keeps playing, he keeps learning game to game. Where's our ceiling at? I don't think we're close to it. I think we just keep getting better, and keep finding ways to maximize his skillset."Gase said that in his first season as Miami's coach in 2016, Tannehill made progress, and then played even better in the first three games this year."I've watched the film," Gase said. "I sit there. We evaluate the scheme we're asking him to do, and he does a good job on it."Tannehill is expected to play again this season, but it might not be until after the Dolphins' bye the weekend of Nov. 18.
