Came across this while doing some fantasy football research.

Ryan Tannehill

563 Snaps
105 Red Zone Snaps
18.7% Red Zone Snaps


Ryan Tannehill leads QB's in red zone snap/red zone snap percentage.

Miami ranks No. 1 in red zone scoring opportunities with 4.8 a game -- Indianapolis is second at 4.3 -- but is a miserable 30th in the league in turning those opportunities into touchdowns, averaging a six-point return just 46.51 percent of the time.

Only San Francisco and, ironically, Thursday's opponent Buffalo are below the Dolphins

Red Zone Play Selection - #1. Miami Dolphins - 105 Snaps - Pass - 48.3% - Run - 51.7%

Made my jaw drop reading that.
 
Yes, we are getting to red zone 2 more times a game as compared to last year. Mostly due to turnovers and blocked kicks. Not cashing them in though.
 
No RZ target. As well as James has played I still think Benjamin would have been the better pick. Top priority must be a big RZ target in the offseason preferably the draft.
 
Oh no...another curse.

How many curses are we up to on this team?
Cursed field (should have never left the Orange Bowl)
Cursed team (for booting Don Shula)
Cursed red zone (reasons above)

What am I missing? Goat, chickens, we traded Babe Ruth to the Bills?
 
It is not a curse...it is execution and play calling.

This is what is keeping us from contending!!! Finally someone with a statistic that really matters.

OL is not the problem! CB's are neither!! Fricking scoring (red zone) offense IS our biggest and crucial problem!!!

Until we solve this a LOT of close games will be lost!!!!
 
And last night I finally stopped seeing that Charles Clay game-cementing drop in my sleep.. thanks for nothing!
 
Tannehill also leads the NFL in red zone INTs this year. He's just not that dude. His ceiling AT BEST is slight above a game manager.

I will say that we desperately need a big body WR or big TE though.

Two things came to mind reading that.

1. Dear Lord Sweet Baby Jesus can we please get a legitimate red zone target in the building.

2. We must be near the bottom of the league in explosive plays. (20+ Yard Passes/Runs, etc)

We have a dink and dunk O that dominates, yet are cursed because said dink and dunk O has no red zone target or pound it in power back.

1.- We need a power RB
2.- We need a tall and strong catching TE
3.- We HAVE 2 physical WR's in Mathews and Landry (we just need to use them on red zone)

I believe that is true...however I think play design has been as much an issue as anything else. Tannehill was among the leaders last year in red zone efficiency.
 
Lets see....ineffective short yardage running

No classic Red Zone threat

Weak interior offensive line
