Dolphins Stick With Tua Tagovailoa as McDaniel Urges Back-to-Basics Approach

The coach rejects benching talk, calling for clearer decision-making from his quarterback.

Overview

  • Miami is 2-7 with the league’s 27th-ranked offense, averaging 291.4 yards and 20 points per game.
  • Tagovailoa has thrown 11 interceptions, tied for the most in the NFL, and says he is focused on film study, footwork and conviction.
  • Mike McDaniel told players not to try to be “Captain America” or “Superman” and reaffirmed Tagovailoa as this week’s starter.
  • The Dolphins parted with general manager Chris Grier and made only one notable deadline move by trading edge rusher Jaelan Phillips.
  • An NFL.com report suggested the team could evaluate Zach Wilson or rookie Quinn Ewers if struggles persist, a notion Tagovailoa said he has not heard internally.
