Blame shot like a machine gun about the failure on offense by the Miami Dolphins in their ugly loss to the Denver Broncos. Everything and anything was fired from the media: Tua was a bust, the coaches sucked, the running game needed real talent, the offensive line was a disaster, and there wasn’t one quality slot receiver on the team. But, after laying such a big steaming turd on offense with so much on the line against ‘lesser opponent’, it’s no wonder. Still, it was just one game… and all that matters now is the upcoming game against the Jets. While Tua is just a rookie and bad games are part of the process, the Phins playoff hopes are riding on him bouncing back this week...
… Well, they were until an injury in practice Wednesday has Tua Doubtful this Sunday. The Phins added Reid Sinnett to the active roster from the Practice Squad, so it looks like Fitzmagic is back!
Alain Poupart of SI reported, “Tagovailoa is dealing with a thumb injury he sustained in practice Wednesday. Tagovailoa was listed as limited in practice all week and Flores said after practice Friday, “We’re going to watch the film and see what it looks like and we’ll make a decision.”
What a wild ride it’s been this season!
The big debate this week was on whether Brian Flores was right to bench Tua for Fitzpatrick. And the other big question was if Tua would turn into a bust? Now, the script is flipped with an injury to Tua’s thumb and Fitzmagic back in the saddle. While Fitzpatrick leading the offense is good news for the Phins playoffs hopes, the rest of the story gives me a headache.
Tua looked bad last week, but the majority of it was mental stuff that can be fixed. Tua is smart and a hard worker, so a good bet with the pay per head services like www.AcePerHead.com is that he’ll keep improving. To what degree though, only time will tell. Going against a cagey and blitz-happy Greg Williams would have been a great test for Tua. But, now the ‘injury bug’ is also on the table of his issues now too! Tua had a sore foot heading into last week’s game and now his thumb likely will have him as a scratch against the Jets.
The picture of what Tua is as an NFL quarterback in 2020 is very cloudy. Tua can work his way into better reads and decisions, but when your hurt there’s nothing you can do.
What a wild ride at quarterback this season
It was a media storm when they benched Fitzpatrick for Tua. Then there was a media storm when they benched Tua for Fitzpatrick. What happens if Fitzpatrick comes back and is aces and then when Tua is ready he continues to struggle?
Thumbs are notoriously difficult to heal and a major hindrance in gripping a football… if it’s on the throwing hand. The report didn’t say if it was on his throwing hand, but it appears that it is.
What if it takes a couple of weeks to heal and Miami is winning with Fitzpatrick? I’d love to see Miami win, but that would be an awkward situation.
Yeash! Talk about sticky.
Well, if you like drama, this Dolphins season is giving all you could want! Go Phins!!!
