Miami Dolphins Stock Watch

[DKphin]

Tannehill and the Dolphins are riding a three-game win streak.

1. Brent Grimes, cornerback: Miami's Pro Bowl cornerback is having one of the best stretches of his career at the right time. Grimes has three interceptions -- including a pick-six -- in the past two games. On Sunday, Grimes picked off Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers twice while having blanket coverage on San Diego receiver Keenan Allen. Grimes has another very tough assignment ahead next weekend against Detroit Lions receiver Calvin Johnson.

2. Ryan Tannehill, quarterback: Tannehill is finally showing signs of consistency near the midpoint of the season. He posted his third triple-digit passer rating in the past five games against San Diego after throwing for 288 yards and three touchdowns. Tannehill also is using his legs and had a 22-yard run that put him in the record books. He joined Steve Young and Michael Vick as the only quarterbacks in the past 25 years to have a run of 20 yards or more in four straight games. Tannehill (63.3) also is on pace to have the fourth-highest completion percentage in franchise history.

Optimist Grimes vs. Megatron...epic showdown.

Must see tv on Sunday.

I would put Grimes on Tate. Megatron would be a huge size mismatch. Let Finnegan get in Calvins head

I agree with this, and if need be, get Fin some help vs. Megatron.

I think our corners play their side regardless who the WR is. Frankly I'm more concerned about Tate. That's the kind of guy who makes difficult catches, gets yardage after the catch, and pumps up his team.
