Tua Tagovailoa
On Sunday, the Dolphins benched Tua Tagovailoa (their promising rookie quaterback). Tagovailoa was not inactive but is questionable for Thursday’s game against Baltimore Ravens. The Dolphins’ final injury report has not been released. Tagovailoa will throw on Thursday to assess the strength of his left arm.
After the game, Tua was limping off the field. He went down on one knee for support and appeared to favor his right hip and right rib. Tagovailoa sustained a bruised rib injury and is currently listed as being day-to-day. The Dolphins will not rush Tua back into action until he recovers completely. The team will still prioritize protecting Tua until he is fully recovered.
Tagovailoa was forced to miss the Dolphins’ three last games due to a recent injury. He was a dominant force during the pre-draft workouts, even though he started slow. He was actually the fifth overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft by the Dolphins. Though he was a backup quarterback in college, he quickly risen to the position and was named the team’s primary starter in 2021.
The Dolphins’ defense ranked last in pass block wins in Week 16, which led to an inability to contain Tua Tagovailoa. Miami still managed to draw plays for Tagovailoa during the final game. These three games are against teams that rank ninth or lower in defensive expected points. Tagovailoa could have the best performance of his career.
Josh Brissett
Jacoby Brissett, an American football quarterback, is currently playing for Cleveland Browns. He played college football with Florida and NC State, and was selected in the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots. Brissett has won many awards throughout his career, including two Pro Bowl selections. He is the son and former NFL quarterback Kevin Brissett’s wife Jennifer.
Brissett, 27 years old, is expected to sign a one year deal with the Dolphins. He played for the Patriots, Colts, and Dolphins and was expected to return. He has a higher career passing score than Tagovailoa and his injury history does not look promising. The Dolphins were able retain a talented player that could be a help to the team in the long-term.
The Dolphins should draft Brissett over Mason Rudolph. Brissett was a backup for the Steelers last season, but the Dolphins aren’t sure whether or not he’ll play in that role. His experience as a backup quarterback will be valuable, but he can also mentor younger quarterbacks. In addition, he is a great value in the practice room.
Jacoby Brissett, who signed with the Dolphins in the offseason, has not had much success in the last two games. His offense was disrupted by the Buffalo Bills’ blitzing and pass rush. Despite his lack of success, the Dolphins won both games. In Week 10, both games were won by the Dolphins. Brissett’s ability extend plays with his legs was a key part of the defense.
Bob Griese
Miami Dolphins quarterback Bob Griese has a unique history. Both father and son have won Super Bowl titles. His father, Bob Griese (Hall of Fame quarterback), won back-to-back Super Bowl titles with the Dolphins. From 1987 to 2005, Bob Griese was also a college football analyst at ABC Sports. Griese played quarterback for the University of Michigan and led the Wolverines to an undefeated season and a share of the national championship. He was the Rose Bowl MVP, passing for 251 yards with three touchdowns.
He was among the first to wear glasses. He cheated on eye exams in grade school to hide his vision problems. This led to his legal blindness as a player. He continued to be a professional athlete despite this. He was a Miami Dolphins player for eight seasons, and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1992. The Dolphins were so proud to honor Griese’s legacy that they created a hall of fame in his honor in 2000.
Griese, after a 1977 season plagued by injuries, was the first quarterback to wear glasses on the field. That season, he threw six touchdown passes in three quarters against the St. Louis Cardinals, leading the AFC in touchdown passes. Despite the injury, he led Dolphins to a record of 10-4, but it wasn’t enough for the playoffs.
In addition to his legendary football career, Bob Griese has a legacy that revolves around humanitarian efforts. He helped create Judi’s House, named after his mother. Through the program, more than 11,000 youth have been helped by the center. Griese has been part of a community’s healing process for more than 25 years. It’s difficult to imagine a team that isn’t made up of these people.
Mike McDaniel
The Miami Dolphins are making news every week, as head coach Mike MacDaniel moves from San Francisco to South Florida. Players are being traded, signed, and extended every week. Even McDaniel, a Hawaiian, made news by attending a charity event called “Luau With Tua” where he learned to play the drums. The Dolphins’ fans were happy to welcome McDaniel’s recent move from San Francisco, California to Miami.
With $63 million in cap space this offseason, the Dolphins will add multiple starters to their offense. One of the biggest challenges McDaniel faces this season will be unlocking Tua Tagovailoa, the team’s future starting quarterback. Tagovailoa is a former Alabama running back who has had a mixed experience in the NFL. Despite being drafted No. He has struggled to find rhythm under center, despite being drafted No.
The Dolphins are in desperate need of a reliable running game. Last season’s RPO-dominated offense was only a band-aid fix. With Tua Tagovailoa entering his third season in the NFL, the Dolphins must revamp their offense to give him the best chance of success. But before they can do that, they must get Tagovailoa up to speed with other NFL quarterbacks. And they’re going to need a good running game, which is where McDaniel’s experience will come in handy.
Rumours also suggest that the Miami Dolphins are interested in Tom Brady. However, they have not yet made an offer. McDaniel addressed speculation and reiterated his belief in Tua Tagovailoa to be the team’s starting quarterback. However, if the Dolphins do make a trade, it will be in the 2020s. The Dolphins are well on their path to the post-Christmas era with Tagovailoa.
Mike Tannehill
Ryan Tannehill is one the most intriguing NFL quarterbacks, but there are still questions. Though he does not have the agility of Cam Newton, he has excellent footwork and is comfortable executing play-action and read-option plays. His athleticism makes him a versatile quarterback in the NFL, making it difficult for opposing defenses game-plan against him.
Tannehill and Ryan Tannehill became instant friends after Tannehill was drafted in Miami. They played six seasons together, and they became close friends on the field. Tannehill has been able focus on his game and learning how to be a quarterback since his move to Tennessee. His most significant weapons have been Derrick Henry and Mike Williams, but Tannehill has had trouble keeping the offense moving. In the past 15 games, the quarterback has thrown for three touchdowns as well as six interceptions and has a record of 10-5.
Tannehill is showing some improvement, even though the Dolphins don’t plan on drafting another quarterback during the 2019 NFL draft. He was drafted in 2020 to be the franchise quarterback for the Dolphins. In his two seasons, Tannehill has thrown for over 7,000 yards, 59 touchdowns and 16 interceptions. In October, he was the backup to Marcus Mariota, but just three months later, he started in the AFC championship game.
After a strong season, Tannehill was rewarded with a ringside seat. Tannehill gained confidence after a disappointing preseason and made it through the first two weeks. The quarterback’s success will largely depend on his ability to work with the defensive line. However, he will need help from his offensive line to achieve this goal.
