US EditionDolphins Coach Mike McDaniel Says QB Tua Tagovailoa's Play 'Less than to Be Desired'
The Dolphins' 33-8 Week 1 loss to the Colts has intensified calls for changes in leadership amid locker room dysfunction and underperformance by key players.
- The Miami Dolphins fell 33-8 to the Indianapolis Colts last Sunday in Miami Gardens, with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa responsible for two interceptions and a lost fumble.
- The defeat followed multiple turnovers, including an airmailed pass to Tyreek Hill intercepted on the opening drive and a fumble caused by a strip-sack recovered by former teammate Xavien Howard.
- Coach Mike McDaniel criticized Tagovailoa's performance as less than desired, emphasizing the need to reduce turnovers, while Howard said Tagovailoa tends to panic after his first read is covered.
- Tagovailoa threw for 114 yards on 14 completions out of 23 attempts, was sacked three times, and finished with a passer rating of 51.7; meanwhile, McDaniel noted that a turnover deficit of three typically leads to a loss.
- Tagovailoa recognized that most of the problems are fixable and is concentrating on making adjustments as Miami gets ready to face the New England Patriots at their stadium this Sunday.
