Potential Dolphins milestones - good stuff

Here are several players who can hit personal milestones in the final two weeks of the season:

• Second-year quarterback Ryan Tannehill needs just 373 yards to become Miami's first 4,000-yards since Dan Marino in 1994.
• Dolphins receiver Brian Hartline needs 75 yards to reach back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons.
• Miami receiver Mike Wallace needs 133 yards in the final two games to reach his first 1,000-yard season with the Dolphins.
• Dolphins defensive end Cameron Wake needs 1.5 sacks to reach double-digit sacks for the third time in his career.
• Miami linebacker Philip Wheeler needs five tackles for 100 tackles.

What is the dolphins record for rushing yards by a QB?

 

[Pelorus Jack]

Not sure but you know that Dan Marino doesn't hold it.. :)

Jay Fiedler, 2001
321 yards

lol 100 tackles is so overrated, wheeler needs to be on the bench

 

[FSU Truth]

exciting to see...I like the idea of 2 thousand yard WRs...

 

[Fin Thirteen]

Wheeler needs only 100 more tackles to have 100 tackles at less than an 8-yard gain for the carrier.

Wheeler is terrible. He is so much worse than Kevin Burnett, and don't bring up pass coverage either. A more expensive downgrade, only Jeff Ireland

 

[ProStyle]

If they reach 1000 yards each, they underachieved. There were opportunities for more.

I like the idea that we have two ten plus sack DE's! Go Vernon!

Wheeler is terrible. He is so much worse than Kevin Burnett, and don't bring up pass coverage either. A more expensive downgrade, only Jeff Ireland

the good news is his cap hit next year makes him very cut friendly, not sure what anyone else thinks but Jenkins could start just fine in his spot. but we do need to find more depth and possibly an upgrade for Jenkins

Wheeler needs only 100 more tackles to have 100 tackles at less than an 8-yard gain for the carrier.

I laughed. And then I cried.

Update on a few milestones

Tannehill- 3709 yards, only needs 291 yards to reach 4000
Hartline- 978 yards
Wallace- 905 yards

Very realistic goals and we are going to need these three to succeed if we are going to win next week.
