"As the only two quarterbacks on the roster, Rosen and Tagovailoa both got a lot of work in team drills Friday ... and let's just it wasn't pretty."

Practice Observations, QB Concerns and Defensive Highlights

Miami Dolphins quarterbacks Josh Rosen and Tua Tagovailoa struggled in practice while Ryan Fitzpatrick was absent for personal reasons

FloCo must really not like Rudock to not even have him back as a camp arm right now...
 
Thanks for this report. It's early. The offense in particular will be disjointed.

Many of us have said since well before the draft that Tua has a decent but not great arm. He would never be confused with the cannon-armed guys like Jacob Eason, Jordan Love, and Justin Herbert. But, the hip injury is sure to rob him of power throwing the ball early in preseason. As his rehab continues and he becomes more comfortable torquing his body through his hips, his arm strength will return. Remember, a large amount of what we call "arm strength" is generated through the lower body, and right now, Tua's lower body is still rehabbing, no matter how happy a face the team and his agent want to put on it.

Josh Rosen is a young QB learning a new offense and probably just starting to get enough snaps to even knock off a little rust. Don't expect instant greatness. It's not about where these guys are now that matters, its about how they are progressing to where they will be when the season starts.

Have patience, this is not going to be a smooth road.
 
One thing that stands out to me every single practice report, Igbinoghene . He is constantly mentioned, always around the ball. I hope that trend continues. From a "WTF" pick, to a stud, I hope he continues to play at a high level when its a real game.

True it's early.
 
INTs in camp are WAAAY overrated as a conversation topic.

Receivers fall or run incorrect routes... QBs are learning new plays...and there is just the sheer number of plays that happen.

Worry more when you see things like "the ball was in the air too long", or "he didn't seem to have enough zip on the throw".
 
Analyzing practice has been a weird trend the past decade or so.

Either way, the defense seems to be picking up quite well and Miami signed a bunch of above average to damn good NFL players. The offense is basically a bunch of infants running around our there. They're is gonna be mistakes especially since this is only Day 4 of them actually playing on the field.
 
"...the first pick came as the result of a mix-up with wide receiver Mack Hollins."
"...The second interception was by fellow rookie first-round pick Noah Igbinoghene, who beat Jakeem Grant to the ball on a deep pass that stayed in the air a long time. "
"There were a couple of other mix-ups in the passing game with Tua at quarterback, such as when Hollins never turned around for a ball thrown his way, or rookie Matt Cole stopping his route when Tua was expecting him to continue. "

This is not even surprising, nevermind concerning.

I actually think the 2nd one is outstanding... You throw that ball to Grant 50 times a practice if you have to, I give no shits if you get picked on 75% of them, keep doing it until you're in synch with that dude.

Yep. Iggy made a play, it happens. When Tua starts he'll have Parker, Williams, and Gesicki to throw it up to.
