Hopefully a decent amount, last year running the ball really helped ryan get into a groove and also keep defenses on their toes.
His athleticism is why drafted him @ 8th overall, we have to use it to our advantage. He is a good slider most of the time too.

I'm worried about Tannehills health . I wouldn't put him in a position to run too much . A couple times in the season ok .... But id tone it down ... If he gets hurt our season is over ..... So do your best to avoid such a situation . If you want to run the ball , put it in your RBs belly and tell your oline to do their job .

A lot. The 2015 Miami offense is completely built around Ryan Tannehill's strengths.
Ryan Tannehill..
- Strength: He's a good runner (former WR).
- Strength: He's good at throwing low trajectory laser beams at receivers who are facing him.
- Weakness: He's weak at high arcing a deep ball so that a 4.3 speedster can accelerate through the ball for a homerun TD.
With a read-option offense, and by replacing Mike Wallace & Charles Clay with strong catch radius receivers like Kenny Stills, DeVante Parker, and Jordan Cameron (along with returning slot receiver Jarvis Landry), we now have a young offense that is completely built around Ryan Tannehill's strengths, while avoiding his weaknesses.

With the read-option, Tannehill is only going to run when he has clear daylight on his side of the field. He can often make it to the sideline untouched. He's a former WR, and a pretty disciplined runner & slider, rather than a hotdog gambler. He doesn't really take big hits on his read-option runs.
In fact, in the last 3 years, Tannehill has been the #1 most sacked QB in the NFL, and most of the big hits he's taken have come in the pocket.
These are the types of hits we should be worried about..
Put it this way: Tannehill is good at running, but a bit weak in pocket presence. In those two categories, he's basically the opposite of Marino. It makes sense to have Ryan Tannehill run the read-option, which leverages his strengths. The read-option might even help keep defenses off-balance & honest with their pass rushes.

Yes, get him out of that pocket that isn't.

About the same as last season. Enough to have a slight impact, but not enough to put Tannehill's health at a major risk.
