I was just browsing on washingtonpost.com because they have lots of statistics you don't find on other pages. I thought I'll post some of stats which I find quite interesting. Not all are Dolphins related. Take them of what they're worth.

Passes Dropped: http://stats.washingtonpost.com/fb/leaders.asp?type=Receiving&range=NFL&rank=232
Interestingly enough, three former Dolphins players are tied for first place with 8 drops apiece: Davone Bess, Reggie Bush and Brandon Marshall. Jamal Charles from Kansas City also has 8 drops.

Brian Hartline is the first in the list currently with the Dolphins: he has 6 drops so far.



Fumbles Lost: http://stats.washingtonpost.com/fb/leaders.asp?year=&type=Rushing&range=NFL&rank=086
Peyton Manning leads the league in fumbles lost: 6. Ryan Tannehill is a close 2nd with 5. Wow, that's surprising. We all bash Ryan Tannehill for not taking care of the football (me included) and the great Peyton Manning has even more fumbles. Didn't see that coming.

Russell Wilson and Ben Roethlisberger are tied with Tannehill for 2nd place with 5 fumbles apiece. This might give us a little perspective on Tannehill's perceived fumbling problems.



QB Rating: http://stats.washingtonpost.com/fb/leaders.asp?year=&type=Passing&range=NFL&rank=039
Nick Foles leads the league in QB Rating. He has yet to throw an interception in 8 games this season and averages 2 TD passes per game. However, he is not in the top 20 in passing yards per game. He has the top running game in the league, so that might explain a little bit of his exceptional play.



QB Rating with 2 Wide Receivers: http://stats.washingtonpost.com/fb/leaders.asp?year=&type=Passing&range=NFL&rank=224
Ryan Tannehill has QB Rating of 111.6, good for 5th in the league, when we line up in 2 Wide Receiver sets. His overall QB Rating is at 82.0, so what it does it tell you? If the opponents don't know if we pass or run, the QB is more effective. While that's not rocket science it is clear evidence we're not balanced enough to make life easier for our QB.

Tannehill's QB Rating drops below 80 when in 3-wide or 4-wide sets.




Interceptions: http://stats.washingtonpost.com/fb/leaders.asp?rank=302&range=NFL&type=Defense
Dimitri Patterson is tied for 4th in the league in interceptions. He has 4 in 5 games. If only he could stay healthy...



Rushing first downs: http://stats.washingtonpost.com/fb/tmleaders.asp?year=&type=Rushing&range=NFL&rank=008
Well, we're ranked 30th in that category. Not surprising. We're also ranked 30th in rushing attempts.
 
The QB rating with 2 wide receivers stat is indicative of something that's been driving me nuts. This offense flat out functions better under center with a balanced formation than it does in spread shotgun.

As for the lost fumbles, how many fumbles has he lost since Bryant McKinnie entered the lineup? I keep asking and nobody can answer. It's either 0 or 1; I'm not sure which.
 
You think there might be a connection between this:

How much running do you think the team does out of spread formations, when it doesn't do much running in general?

Do you think it's easier or harder for Ryan Tannehill to pass out of spread formations when the threat of the run is absent in those formations?
 
More stats...


QB Rating: http://stats.washingtonpost.com/fb/tmleaders.asp?year=&type=Passing&range=NFL&rank=039
The New York Jets have the worst QB rating in the league (all QBs combined).



Passing Attempts: http://stats.washingtonpost.com/fb/tmleaders.asp?year=&type=Passing&range=NFL&rank=031
The Seattle Seahawks and the San Francisco 49ers have the least passing attempts of all teams in the league. Is it because they don't trust their QB to throw?



% Completions inside opponents' 20: http://stats.washingtonpost.com/fb/tmleaders.asp?year=&type=Passing&range=NFL&rank=099
We're ranked third in completion percentage in the red zone. That's pretty good I would say. It's even better inside the 10 yard line: ranked 2nd. Ryan Tannehill's QB rating is above 100 in both statistics. That#s pretty interesting. Is it because we don't use the Shotgun and don't spread the receivers as much inside the redzone as we do in the rest of the field? So, the opponent doesn't know if we run or pass which allows Tannehill to be an above average QB.



Would have loved to post some team defense stats but the site doesn't provide so we have to live with the ones I posted. :-) Have a good day all of you!

Pretty much think so, yeah. Wonder what happened to Dion Sims and Michael Egnew. If they could be on the field more, together with Charles Clay we might be better in both the run and passing game.

I can't remember Tannehill having any fumbles since McKinnie took over for you know who.
 
Wallace and Bess are tied for first with 11 drops. Marshall is second with 10. Hartline only has 4.

I think he lost one in the New England game.

So the Washington Post, Sportingcharts.com, ESPN, and PFF have it all wrong? Standard on these parts excuses flow to protect mediocre players like Hartline.
