The Miami quarterback isn't too concerned about who's in front of him.
by throwing for more yards than any other quarterback in the NFL. He did so thanks to head coach Mike McDaniel's excellent offensive scheme, the fastest receiving corps around featuring Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, and Tagovailoa's own swift processing ability.
That last attribute came up on Monday during a press conference with the starting QB. Tagovailoa was asked by reporters how confident he was standing in the pocket, given the interior of the Dolphins' offensive line has been a work in progress all preseason and remains that way as the regular season approaches. He had a pretty funny answer that, while true, may not make Miami fans feel that much better.He's certainly right about getting the ball out quick.
Still, it is no saving grace if the offensive line can't hold up. Tagovailoa is excellent when getting the ball out quick because that's how the offense is designed. Presumably, McDaniel would prefer Tagovailoa to stick to throwing the ball quickly because that's what the moment calls for, rather than being forced into it by poor protection.
While Miami's line has had a poor showing this preseason, there's reason to believe it will improve with some injury luck. While one starter, Isaiah Wynn, is out for the first month of the year, another in Aaron Brewer is a possibility to return sooner; he's been out a few weeks with an undisclosed injury. And overall it will be hard to be worse than last season, when the Dolphins rankedto do. Which is not good for a team aiming to win a playoff game for the first time since 2000.
