Ryan Tannehill is now on a streak of 105 passes without an interception, his last coming early in the week 16 game vs the Vikings last season. I'm not certain what his career high is in that regard, but the team record is 156 by Dan Marino, followed by 140 by Bob Griese, and 133 by Cleo Lemon. Tannehill's best streak is 4 games without throwing a pick, which he did twice during his rookie season in 2012. The team record is 5, by Jay Fiedler, in 2000. Tannehill also lowered his career interception percentage to 2.5%. He is the only Miami QB to have a rate of less than 3.0% while attempting at least 600 passes. He also raised his career completion percentage to 62.0%, highest among Miami QBs with at least 600 attempts. Tannehill has thrown at least 1 TD pass in 17 of the last 18 games, with the lone exception being the MNF game vs the Jets last season. Jarvis Landry is now in the top 50 in Miami Dolphins history, with 92 receptions. He passed Larry Csonka, Mark Ingram Sr., and Jack Clancy this past Sunday. Among players to start their career with Miami as a rookie, Landry is the fastest ever to 90 receptions, doing it in 17 games.
Who cares he threw 2 passes that should have been interception so they might as well have been interceptions. Do CBs get credit for potential INTs they drop?
Walt Aikens and Jamar Taylor both dropped INTs that were in their hands, so let's get them in the Almost-Pro Bowl.
I'd exchange an INT or two for a more concerted effort to push the ball downfield. Success doing so should make Lazor more confident about the offense and thus more willing to run the ball since he wouldn't have to be so worried about our ability to convert 3rd and long.
Some of that is due to dumb luck. Again, multiple tipped passes and two gimme interceptions dropped by the Skins. Sometimes the game footage shows something different from a black & white stat.
Btw, I heard an important stat being discussed on ESPN radio this morning. Teams starting 2-0 have around a 60% chance of making the playoffs. Teams starting 1-1 have around a 47% chance of making the playoffs. Teams starting 0-2 have around a 17% chance of making the playoffs. Those number reflect the relevancy of the beginning of the year, which is why some of us aren't so "laissez-faire" about it. Granted there are gonna be anomalies that obviously can be explained by other criteria such as strength of schedule, etc.
Maybe, but since 'dumb luck' plays aren't statistically tracked there's no way of comparing RT17's 'dumb luck' percentage against anyone else's, so we'll just have to let the record books record it as it is.
Wasn't arguing otherwise. It reminds me though of how people would view Hartline's B2B 1,000 yard seasons in a vacuum. Tanny plays it safe out there and throws a bullet. I expect low interception #'s from it. That's his game.
That's the CB formerly known as Sean Smith, Miami Dolphins. The Sean Smith on the Chiefs is actually pretty damn good.
Tannehill is on pace for 3600 yards this season. I'd like to see him increase that and get that back to 4000 something yards again. That's just my opinion though. Now that the team got their first game of the year jitters out of the way, I want to see this team really take off here.
