Dolphins head coach Brian Flores said on Thursday that quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will not play in the team’s third and final preseason contest. Flores said many of the team’s other starters will also be sitting out this weekend. Tagovailoa started both of the Dolphins’ first two preseason outings. He went 24-of-34 for 282 yards, a touchdown, and an interception in those games. He also had extensive work in joint practices before each of those games. He’ll look to build off those performances and get the Dolphins off to a good start in the AFC East against the Patriots in Week One of the regular season.
Huh, I don't know if I like that or not. It does say that we're confident in what we have in him so I guess he earned the game off. The funny part is that we may plan to rest a lot of the starters, but I almost guarantee that our starting receivers play since they've basically skipped the whole training camp.
The dude exceeded even my most optimistic of expectations. There is zero need to put in him and most of the starters. Realistically, I think only Jackson and Eichenberg are the only two starters needed to play on Sunday. In fact, I wanna take it one step further. I do not even think Jacoby Brissett should be out there. Low key, he has looked really good too. I'd let Reid play the entire game.
J.K. Dobbins just went down in Baltimore's final preseason game. I'm glad we're sitting most of the starters tomorrow.
I truly hope THIS puts to bed any Deshaun Watson trade talks. With the breakdown of these couple of plays along with the endorsement of the greatest quarterback to ever play the game, there should be no doubt that the Dolphins are committed to Tagovailoa
