Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa ‘very comfortable’ with Miami’s offense
Heading into his second NFL season, Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa holds increased pressure to make a significant leap forward.
The Alabama product displayed plenty of promise in his rookie campaign, helping lead the team to a near playoff berth. Tagovailoa is expected to take over the reins as the clear-cut centerpiece to the Dolphins offense.

But he admits he’s “very comfortable” with this offense. And “being able to get with the guys throughout the offseason has helped me tremendously.”
The Dolphins will likely give Tagovailoa more freedom to run the offense as he had notable limitations with the playbook. Despite that, he managed to put together several solid performances.

Miami needs him to take the next step to push the team forward toward playoff contention and solidify his spot as the future under center.
The front office has continued to put young talent around Tagovailoa that can grow with him through his maturation process. Nonetheless, he’s focused on improving every day in practice.
“I’m not looking at the things I do right, but most of the things I don’t do right. It will keep coming back to that,” he said.
Tagovailoa has the team’s full support behind him. It’s on his shoulders to make the most of the opportunity ahead to make the Dolphins a factor in the AFC playoff picture.
