Through the first two preseason games, Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill has continued to get his legs under him after missing the entire 2017 season due to an ACL tear.

However, it hasn't been entirely positive as the team has struggled to string together scoring drives with Tannehill under center. This is something that the 2_-year-old recently voiced that the team needs to show improvement in the last two preseason games ahead of Week 1, according to Adam H. Beasley of The Miami Herald.

“We need to get in the end zone,” Tannehill said. “That’s the whole object of being out there is to get points and more importantly get the ball in the end zone. It’s going to be huge for us to be able to finish drives.”

The Dolphins had much difficulty with that aspect much of last season ranking among the lowest scoring offenses in the league with just 17.6 points per contest. The team is counting on him to provide that consistent stability at the quarterback position while helping them become one of the better offensive units in the league that can put points on the board.

More importantly, Miami is hoping that he lead the team to more wins in a similar manner to when he last took the field in the regular season back in 2016. Prior to that campaign being cut short due to an ACL injury, Tannehill had helped lead the team to seven wins in their last games where he had thrown for 13 touchdowns during that stretch. He had begun to finally make headway as a viable starting quarterback that could be depended upon behind his arm.

These last two games of the preseason could be a chance for him to fine tune things ahead of the regular season to finally find some fluidity offensively that the team will need to get serious contend for the playoffs.
