Although Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin continues to avoid naming a starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Raiders, incumbent starter Ryan Tannehill has no doubt in his mind he will be under center at the start of Sunday's game, per The Palm Beach Post.

"I’m taking the first snap of the game," he said.

Tannehill did admit, however, the quarterback controversy has been a distraction. 

"Obviously it doesn’t feel good," Tannehill said. "It creates a lot of stir, a lot of distraction in the locker room -- mostly from outside."
