Tua’s press conferences are somehow worst than his on-field performances.
During last Sunday’s 31-6 loss to the Cleveland Browns, Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa said the reason he struggled to get wide receiver Jaylen Waddle targets was because he’s too short to see over offensive and defensive lineman.
“Some of it has to do with being able to see guys,” Tagovailoa told reporters Wednesday. “With their guys also up front and our guys, and I’m not the tallest guy in the back there either. So being able to see and sometimes when that happens you don’t want to just throw it blindly.”
Tagovailoa only targeted Waddle three times during the blowout loss, with the pair connecting for just one 15-yard reception.
Last Sunday was just the latest disastrous performance for Tua, as he completed just 12 of 23 passes, was sacked twice and threw three second-half interceptions.
Despite Tagovailoa’s struggles in recent weeks, coach Mike McDaniel confirmed earlier this week that Tagovailoa would be the team’s starter against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 8. Tagovailoa has thrown three interceptions in back-to-back games and became the first NFL quarterback to do so since Philip Rivers did it in 2019.
