quarterback Ryan Tannehill "failed to connect" with wide receiver Mike Wallace during the first day of training camp according to Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald. This is a huge deal because the Dolphins signed Wallace to a $60 million contract with $30 million guaranteed this offseason. The first play of this Dolphins training camp had a chance to set the tone and send a message to the capacity crowd that trekked to watch 2013’s first practice. Mike Wallace, the newly minted deep-threat receiver, was running behind a defender along the right sideline and quarterback Ryan Tannehill, the franchise’s greatest hope for a return to prominence, spotted him and flung the ball downfield. Unfortunately the pass was overthrown and incomplete. Not only did Tannehill and Wallace fail to connect on that first throw, but the second and third throws also were incomplete Tannehill continues to rely on Brian Hartline in the passing game and was "more comfortable" throwing to newcomers Brandon Gibson and tight end Dustin Keller. Clearly there is still plenty of time for Tannehill and Wallace to get on the same page but the clock is ticking.
