There have been some significant changes on the Dolphins offense since the end of last season. Those include the addition of a Pro Bowl left tackle, the first-round pick tackle, a veteran running back coming off a 1,000-yard season, a new offensive coordinator and, perhaps most significant of all, a different scheme.
In the middle of it all, Ryan Tannehill remains the trigger man.
The 2012 first-round pick is heading into his third season as the Dolphins’ starting quarterback and he’s excited about the changes and the potential they present.
“It’s fun,” Tannehill said after an offseason practice. “Just the way things turned out last year wasn’t what we were looking for. Personally, from a team standpoint, from an offensive standpoint, (it’s nice) to come out, kind of have a fresh start, new identity, new offense with really talented players across the board. You look at our roster, especially on the offensive side of the ball, you see a stacked receiver room, brought in Knowshon (Moreno) in the backfield, the guys up front that we brought in are really talented players and I’m just excited I get to play with them.
“I think just last year in general, we underperformed as a team,” he said. “We had a lot of games that we should have won and I think that kind of started a fire in us. We had a lot of guys returning, added a bunch of good pieces and we see the potential of this team. We see that we have the playmakers that can take us a long way. Now, it’s just a matter of putting the pieces together and winning games.
“The day I really look forward to is the first game. That’s the day we really get to show off what we have.”
Man, I hope this new offense is good, and there is something to "show off", though with the injuries it still may be tough to get going. I sure wouldn't mind the Dolphins hanging about 50 points on the Patriots.
