ডলফিনের তুয়া তাগোভাইলোয়া সাম্প্রতিক ক্ষতির লক্ষ্যমাত্রার অভাবের জেলেন ওয়াডেলের একটি কারণ হিসাবে উল্টো দিকে নির্দেশ করে
You can now listen to Fox News articles! The 1-6 Miami Dolphins need to answer many questions, but one of them is why Jalen Waddle, the Dolphins’ top receiver besides Tyreek Hill, didn’t see much action in Sunday’s loss to the Cleveland Browns. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has an answer, and it’s one Dolphins fans probably don’t want to hear. “I think some of that has to do with seeing guys, their guys in front and with our guys, too,” Tagovailoa told reporters Tuesday. “I’m not the tallest guy out there, either. So, being able to see, and sometimes when that’s the case, you don’t want to force it to blind, and you’ve got to move on. So, I think there’s some merit to why that happened with Waddle.”

It’s no secret that Tagovailoa, listed at 6-foot-1, isn’t the tallest quarterback in the NFL. But admitting he’s unable to see his receivers during plays is another thing. It may be true, but clearly seeing your offensive weapons is important for any midfielder. However, Tagovailoa only targeted the 5-foot-10 Waddle four times in the 31-6 road loss. He only caught one pass for 15 yards.

Waddle hadn’t had that few targets or catches in a single game since Week 14 against the Houston Texans last season. In that game, Waddle didn’t have a single score and was only targeted twice despite dealing with a knee injury.
But Tagovailoa struggled all day for the Dolphins, as the Browns defense forced three interceptions and only completed 12 passes for 100 yards.

Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel has worked with Tagovailoa like his teammates, but it has proven difficult to get them both on the same oil this season. week. McDaniel noted Tuesday that he had a half-hour meeting with Tagovailoa the previous day. He described it as “amazing”.
“I think there’s no question about my trust with Tua and my faith in him,” McDaniel told reporters. “We’re both very eager to get better at our jobs, and we’re very committed and we trust each other to respond to what it takes to make the team better.”
