Can anyone guess the longest pass play Tannehill has this year? I'll save you the research; 35 yards. This offense would be looking a lot better with more big plays. I'm sure teams are doubling on Wallace most of the time to take away the deep ball. I really think Landry needs the ball in his hands more. He can break tackles and doesn't just fall after he catches the ball like Hartline does most of the time. Either way, Miami needs to be more creative to get these guys open deep and Tannehill needs to be accurate with his deep passes.

Looking better? Did you watch the last 6 quarters of play? How much better do you want - Peyton Manning?
The deep ball is fun, gets the fans excited, makes SportsCenter but it isn't high percentage and it can be a drive killer. What has stretched the field for us us is the inside option. The inside run option makes lbs stay in the box, des freeze their rush, and gives the wrs room to get open. If you watch the play selection of the first half it was so unique nobody on that defense knew what was going on. That's how you stretch the d.
Do you know what the worst enemy of great is? The answer is good. And I don't need your smart ass remarks. Of course I've watched the 6 quarters of play but 6 quarters isn't 16 games. My point is they can be a lot better on offense. Im sure they're working on ways to get better and one way is to have more big plays. Your response was very Philbinish.
Whoa, hit a nerve. :type: Any fan can say any team can be a lot better at something. That's a given. If you look at this system and how they are running it I also agree that there is room to grow. However, they are running it right. Nobody can beat you if you are running 5 yards a carry and completing over 70% of your passes for 8+ yards a clip. It's just math. That drives a ball, keeps getting your first downs, and keeps your defense rested.
There are more than one way to stretch a defense. I prefer the high percentage way.
