3. Tua in Year 2
Miami quarterback Tua Tagovailoa doesn't have to wonder who's getting the start or if he will come in during the game this season because, for now, he's the Dolphins' QB1. In his rookie season, he played in 10 games and completed 186 of 290 passes for 1,814 yards. Tagovailoa threw for 11 touchdowns, five interceptions and rushed in for three touchdowns.
In his second season, Tagovailoa is doing what he can to prove he's the right QB for Miami. In his first game of the year, he completed 16 of 27 passes for 202 yards and threw for one touchdown, one interception and rushed in for one touchdown. His favorite targets in Week 1 were DeVante Parker and his former college teammate Jaylen Waddle. Parker caught four passes for 81 yards and Waddle had four catches for 61 yards and a touchdown.
After their win against the Patriots, head coach Brian Flores said he liked the way Tagovailoa got the offense started by leading a touchdown drive on their first offensive possession.
"I thought he made a lot of good plays, a lot of big throws that we needed," Flores said. "That third down to start the second half was a big throw. We needed it. Good throw, good catch by DeVante [Parker]. So like everybody, players, coaches, I know we'll make corrections and try to improve and get better like we talk about every day."
From watching a little tape, Frazier said to was easy to see how the team has improved from last season to this season.
"Tua has really improved his role for sure and they have quite a wide receiving corps with Will Fuller, Jaylen Waddle, Preston Williams," Frazier explained. "They have an excellent wide receiving crew and an offensive line that's still intact from a year ago. Their running back, Myles (Gaskin), he's a good back as well so they've got an improved offense.
"We're going to have to do a really good job of controlling and not giving up big plays and finding ways to take the ball away on defense to put our offense on a short field or score on defense, but they've got some weapons on that side of the ball."
