Miami Dolphins starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill experienced something Friday that he’s rarely had throughout his career: Good pass protection.
The most-sacked quarterback in the NFL since 2012 was rarely touched in Miami’s second preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys. It was different seeing Tannehill able to stand comfortably in the pocket and able to make his second and third reads without much pressure.
It’s no surprised Tannehill’s stats also improved. He threw for 162 yards, two touchdowns and had a 119.2 passer rating in a 41-14 loss. Tannehill also completed a deep ball of 55 yards to receiver Kenny Stills on a play designed to roll out the quarterback.
