Tannehill's ratio

I'd Take today's practice at 48 to 16 as well

Tannehill's numbers being good re: TDs is going to depend on Wallace being healthy and playing the Desean Jackson role. He's the only WR on the roster that can do this.

Every other WR is a glorified possession WR. Landry a good pick but he's as slow as Hartline in pads -- quicker, yes. More sure handed, greater catch radius and more physical -- but not a number 1 WR.

I see the same essential problem at WR as we had last year. And I gotta think that Lazor sees it too, which is why so many WRs were added to the roster in the off-season. Problem is, they all look limited skillwise. Exception of Landry, possibly.

Actually, Landry is considerably slower than Hartline in pads. Forget Landry's combine 40 time, he wasn't healthy. But watch his LSU tape ... the guy is a 4.6 guy in pads. Watch Hartline's Dolphins tape last year, he's a 4.5 guy. You can find a lot of 4.5 CB's that can't catch up if they fall for his double move.

Landry is quicker, as you mentioned, but Landry is our slowest WR on the roster.

I've watched Hartline closely since he's arrived in Miami. Got money on the line that he can't run a legit 4.55 in pads. So far he won't take the challenge.

I promise you Hartline gets a step slower in pads and Landry doesn't. I'll be very surprised if Landry doesn't play faster than Hartline simply b.c. he's quicker and more physical. And yes, I know all about Landry's 40 times.

Hartline is basically the Bess of the Number 2 WR position: Gets catches and yards because he does a few things well, but is vastly limited as a WR and essentially puts zero pressure on a D. CBs beat him to the spot many times. And Hartline isn't physical enough to win many battles. And his catch radius is very poor given that he's over 6 foot tall. Hartline's best quality is his dependable route running. Not speed. And his hands get worse the more pressure a DB gives him.

Much respect bro. But, you are mistaken on this one. Landry is significantly slower in pads than Hartline.

Last year, I had RT going for 4,000 yards, 25 TD's. and 12 picks. This year, I espect 4300 yards, 33 TD's and 11 picks.

I've been wrong before. It's hard to compare unless they're on the same field.

We'll see. Notice I said "play faster," not "is faster." One thing is sure: If I'm wrong I'll say I'm wrong. If Landry plays slower than Hartline I'll man up and admit it at least by the middle of the season, when we have a few games to compare.

i have no doubts 30 plus tds this year...

expect big things if we play with the tempo we are showing in otas...
 
I think a 2 to 1 ratio is a good baseline. 30 and 15

No doubt bro. As will I. My expectation is that Hartline will be working the sidelines and Landry will be running pick plays a cross the middle and in the slot. But I'm sure we'll get to see them both go deep on occasion and have something to compare. :)
