Dolphins' Ryan Tannehill: Sharp against Falcons in extended action Thursday

Tannehill completed 20 of 29 passes for 155 yards with no touchdowns and an interception in Thursday's 17-6 preseason victory over the Falcons. He also gained 22 yards on two rushes.

Analysis:

He looked mostly sharp for the second consecutive game, with even his interception coming as a result of a tipped pass at the line of scrimmage that diverted a throw intended for Kenny Stills. Tannehill once again looked comfortable and smooth in his handling of the offense, even rattling off a 22-yard gain on a designed run. He displayed solid rapport with Kenny Stills for the second straight game, while also finding favorite target Jarvis Landry on four occasions as well. The fifth-year pro seems to have taken extremely well to the pace that Adam Gase's offense dictates, and his preseason play could certainly be a harbinger of what might be his most prolific year yet.
