Tua Tagovailoa is not a happy player! After Miami’s latest loss to the Chargers on Sunday, Tua had to go hard on some teammates who skip player meetings.
According to Tua, there are problems with the team which need to be addressed and find solutions to.
“Well, I think it starts with the leadership and helping articulate that for the guys,” Tagovailoa told reporters. “And then what we’re were expecting out of the guys, right? We’re expecting this, are we getting that, are we not getting that? We have guys showing up to player-only meetings late, guys not showing up to player-only meetings. Like, there’s a lot that goes into that. Do we have to make this mandatory, do we not have to make this mandatory? So it’s a lot of things of that nature that we’ve gotta get cleaned up, and it starts with the little things like that.”
Tua then was asked to clarify whether players are late for player-only meetings or whether they’re skipping them. He said they were late.
Coach Mike McDaniel later said Tua was referring to “a couple individuals,” and that Tua decided to go public with his concerns in an effort to rectify the issue.
If this is the new Tua, we’re here for it. Miami wanted a leader—and now they’ve got one who says it as it is!
