Improve on non-first-read throws
Part of getting other pass-catchers involved in the offense has to do with being able to go through progressions, which is something Tannehill has struggled with the past two seasons.
According to Pro Football Focus’ Sam Monson, the gap between Tannehill’s grade for first-read throws as compared to non-first-read throws is among the largest in the NFL since 2018.
On first-read throws, Tannehill has posted a grade of 79.6, but on non-first-read throws, his grade is a much lower 41.9, a difference in grade of 37.7. That amounts to the second-biggest drop-off in the NFL.
With Brown being his No. 1 target and likely to get extra attention this season, Tannehill has to be able to move on to his other options when it isn’t there with his favorite receiver in order to avoid forcing the ball into bad situations.
