DAVIE, Fla. (AP) — Ryan Tannehill stood before the Miami Dolphins' daily media throng Wednesday with a three-inch scratch on his neck, a large bandage over his knee and an audible bruise to his ego.
"I'm upset with myself at the way I've played," he said. "The first two weeks were both bad. That's not a good start. It's huge to be able to bounce back and perform well."
Tannehill will try to do so Sunday when the Dolphins (1-1) play host to Kansas City (0-2). He came into his third NFL season expecting to make big strides toward becoming a franchise quarterback, but instead he continues to be inaccurate, indecisive and inconsistent.
Tannehill ranks 29th in the league with a passer rating of 76.1, and the Dolphins rank last at 4.4 yards per pass play, sacks included.
"I haven't been at my best," Tannehill said. "It has got to change, and it has got to change fast. I look forward to going out Sunday and changing it."
"I just haven't been putting the ball in the right spot," Tannehill said. "It boils down to being consistent with footwork."
Tannehill said he's frustrated but not discouraged, and he remains confident.
"When you don't make the play, you're not happy with yourself. You look at it on tape and it doesn't make you feel good inside," he said. "But we've got a long season ahead of us. You flip it around and play well, and you start stringing good games together."
