""The first, last and only thing - if I have anything to say about it, and I did in several meetings (Wednesday) - is the Cleveland Browns and our focus within that regard," McDaniel said Wednesday. The Dolphins coach said Tagovailoa continued to address players on the team through Wednesday morning. "Absolutely, he communicated within his teammates both in group and individually, and there's much bigger fish to fry in our team's opinion, in my opinion," McDaniel said."
"After Sunday's 29-27 defeat to the Chargers, Tagovailoa made a point to reveal in his postgame press conference that players were reporting late to player-led meetings he had tried to organize. McDaniel, after originally backing his quarterback's frustration speaking later Sunday, reversed course Monday in saying Tagovailoa should've never relayed that message to the public. "Regardless of intent and what was on Tua's mind after a loss, as the franchise quarterback, that's not the forum to displace that," McDaniel said Monday."
Tua Tagovailoa revealed that players were reporting late to player-led meetings following the Dolphins' 29-27 loss to the Chargers. Coach Mike McDaniel said he addressed the matter in meetings and insisted the team must focus on preparing for the Cleveland Browns. McDaniel said Tagovailoa continued to communicate with teammates both in groups and individually. McDaniel initially backed the quarterback's frustration but later said airing it publicly was inappropriate for the franchise quarterback. Tagovailoa is scheduled to speak with reporters after practice, and the Dolphins enter the Browns game with a 1-5 record.
