QB Tua Tagovailoa's return to the lineup likely will affect coach Mike McDaniel's approach and play-calling
The return of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa to the Miami Dolphins lineup almost assuredly will make for a more efficient offense.
the Dolphins certainly deserve some criticism for having left themselves in that spot, but that's a different story.The latest, and maybe most glaring example, of McDaniel going a more conservative route came in the fourth quarter of the 16-10 loss against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. But let's be honest here: Do we really think that McDaniel would have taken the same approach with Tagovailoa and wouldn't have tried to get the first down and ultimately look for a touchdown to take the lead, not tie the score?
But that's gone south since then, with the Dolphins converting only 3 of their past 7 third-and-1s, in addition to failing on both of their fourth-and-1 attempts.
