Tannehill's passes were batted down with amazing frequency. He was picked off three times. It was one of the few games Tannehill, Miami’s 2012 first-round pick, looked like a frazzled and shell-shocked quarterback last season.
On Saturday, Tannehill will return to Houston more confident and with a lot of new weapons. It’s only a preseason game, but Houston's starting defense should provide a nice test of Tannehill's progress before the regular season.
“Obviously I want a better showing. How can you not when you have a bad game?” Tannehill admitted this week. “But this is a new year. Different teams, completely different situations, and we are just going out to improve.”
Tannehill and Miami's first-team offense in the preseason has been inconsistent. Both times, the Dolphins got off to a slow start.
