    Nothing mind blowing but there are a few tidbits here and there.

    It's also interesting that they think Tannehill had a below average day passing when a lot of people around here think that it was his most impressive performance. I think they aren't giving him enough credit for the conditions and circumstances he was performing under.

    What's amazing about those stats is that when tannehill doesn't throw a perfect pass to clay it seems to me that he has trouble making the catch. Says two things to me. Tannehill is in sync with clAy and clay makes the catchable catch almost always

    Stats most of the time come context-free.

    Maybe he has trouble adjusting to the difference in Wallace's speed compared to that of Clay, Hartline, etc.

    I thought RT was off early on, but good late. I think that read-option run by him was huge. I think it loosened him up and also made the run lanes wider for DT.

    Yeah. Hitting moving targets vs stationary is harder. Hitting faster moving targets vs. slower moving targets is harder.

    He was off early, especially on throws to the outside. At one point, I was saying to myself, (thinking runaway thoughts of Tannehill having never played in snowy/icy/windy conditions before) if Tannehill doesn't get it together, we may get crushed. Especially when the Steelers were gashing our run D early on. We improved that part of our game, and I think you're right that the read-option run gave him some confidence which spilled over into his throwing. He got it together, and we didn't get crushed.
