Tua Tagovailoa’s leadership key in Miami Dolphins’ offensive success

Associated Press  

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Mike McDaniel has noticed the change in Tua Tagovailoa: His jovial nature on the Miami Dolphins’ sideline during games. All of it plays a role in the fourth-year quarterback’s output on game days, McDaniel said Wednesday, adding that much of Tagovailoa’s growth on the field has started with internal work each week. You have a group of people that, ‘Wow, how I work and then what my talents are, those combined have residual effects on a lot of people’s journeys.’ So I think he’s very much leaning into and enjoying that more.” Tagovailoa is leading an offense that ranks first in the league in nearly every important category, including points, total yards, yards rushing and yards passing per game. It’s always tough for any competitor to have to sit and watch their team go out there and play.” In Week 3 last year, Tagovailoa briefly left a 21-19 win over Buffalo when he appeared to be disoriented by what the team originally said was a back injury after taking a hard hit from Bills linebacker Matt Milano late in the first half. Waddle missed last Sunday’s game against Denver after a helmet-to-helmet hit in Week 2.. C Connor Williams and LB Jaelan Phillips did not practice Wednesday.. RB Salvon Ahmed is progressing, McDaniel said..
