One of the more viral videos from the NFL’s offseason workouts came from Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins.
In the Video, Tua threw a very underthrown ball to new teammate Tyreek Hill. The video made it’s way through social media and had a lot of people talking bad about Tua’s arm strength.
He heard/saw it.
After a recent team workout, Tua spoke with the media and had some things to say about the criticism he has been getting from the Twitter warriors saying they aren’t out there practicing or working hard like the guys on the Dolphins and said that he hoped the media got video of a beautifully thrown ball he had earlier.
We shall see if he can back up this talk because if he can’t, people will remember this. His head coach thinks things are fine.
“I’m really excited about the reps that Tua’s getting in this offense. I’m excited about where he’s at,” McDaniel said in his press conference. “Tua’s very, very critical of his ball placement and he’s a very accurate quarterback as a result. Yesterday, he had some throws that he demands better of himself. But like I told everybody else, today was the first day I got to really evaluate Tua because that is professional quarterback in the National Football League. You’re going to have things that you don’t execute to perfection. You’re going to have people talking about how you’re not performing. And guess what? No one cares.”
“I think his teammates have really noticed a difference in him,” McDaniel said. “He’s opening up. He’s kind of coming into his own in that regard. And he’s been unbelievably coachable. He’s let his guard down. And we’ve been able to keep his confidence high — which it should be right now for sure — while correcting him and getting his game better, which is the ultimate goal for everyone.”
