When Peyton Manning was at his peak with the Indianapolis Colts, there was no better offense in the league. From the quick throws to the audibles, Manning commanded the offense like no other.
While the Miami Dolphins don't have Manning on the team, they could feature his style this season under new offensive coordinator Clyde Christensen. That may sound hard to believe given the fact that Ryan Tannehill isn't well, Manning. And he wasn't given full control of the offense with regards to calls at the line of scrimmage, but Christensen is confident he can bring a Colts-style game plan to Miami.
Via Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald:
Tannehill has a very long way to go before he's discussed in the same breath as future Hall of Famer, Peyton Manning -- especially after regressing this past season. However, Christensen is excited about working with the young quarterback, and was impressed with his game thus far.
The presence of Jarvis Landry in the slot should help Christensen establish his up-tempo, quick-pass offense, too. Landry caught 110 passes this season and was one of the most reliable pass catchers in the league. And with DeVante Parker on the outside, Landry should see more one-on-one matchups in the middle.
