Dolphins WR Mike Wallace says he and QB Ryan Tannehill have to get their deep ball chemistry going this offseason.
"We have to,” Wallace said. “Definitely have got to get the deep ball going. That’s the difference between winning and losing a couple games. I should have had 15 or 20 more touchdowns. And that’s being modest. If you press me, you have no shot to cover me. Once I get you to stop your feet, it’s over.”
But if the deep ball isn’t thrown accurately, or caught, it’s moot.
Consider: Of balls in the air at least 20 yards, Tannehill threw 36 such passes to Wallace, and only six were completed --- the worst percentage of 22 deep-threat receivers ranked by PFF. Of those 36, only eight were deemed catchable and Wallace dropped two.
Wallace says he was just being "modest" saying that he should have had "15 or 20 more touchdowns" but he only scored five TDs in 2013 and four of those came in the final six weeks, so there were signs of improvement. The deep ball was a rarity, however, and it sounds like Wallace is eager to develop chemistry with Tannehill.
