Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa just dropped a shocking revelation: he blames his lack of height for his inability to target Jaylen Waddle.
We won’t ne surprised if Tua claims his throws get blocked because of the air in his next game.
One of the more glaring takeaways from Sunday’s loss was the fact that Dolphins receiver Jaylen Waddle only was targeted four times and caught just one pass for 15 yards. On Wednesday, Tagovailoa revealed that his height kept him from being able to get the ball to his star wideout.
“Some of it has to do with being able to see guys … I’m not the tallest guy in the back there either,” said Tagovailoa who stands 6-foot-1. “So being able to see and then sometimes when that happens, you don’t want to just throw it blindly, and you gotta progress. So I think that has some merit to, reasons as to why that happened for Waddle.”
Tagovailoa completed just 12 of 23 passes, was sacked twice threw three second-half interceptions. The first one came on the first play from scrimmage in the third quarter when Cleveland’s Tyson Campbell returned the ball 34 yards for a touchdown to extend the Browns’ lead to 24-6. The second interception came on a 3rd and 12 from the Miami 3-yard line and was nearly returned for another pick six. The Browns scored a touchdown on the next play. His passer rating on the day was a dismal 24.1.
The veteran signal caller actually only targeted Waddle three times and Ewers targeted Waddle once before the final whistle sounded.
One thing’s for sure: blaming the lack of height for not being able to target is an indication that Tua needs to up his game.
