Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa admits he 'wasn't comfortable' as rookie; says confidence, hip have improved significantly

Tua Tagovailoa admitted Wednesday that he wasn't always comfortable running the Dolphins offense as a rookie, but his confidence, along with his hip, have improved in a big way heading into the 2021 campaign.

I've been saying this for a bit; there's a difference between 100% healthy and 100% recovered.

""I guess you could say the focus was the glutes to help support the hip," the quarterback explained. "My hip feels 10 times better than it did last year. The confidence level for myself, I feel really confident coming into this second year after that injury two years ago.""

Tua: Was uncomfortable calling plays as rookie

Tua Tagovailoa says he is finally comfortable with his game and the Dolphins' offensive playbook for the first time as an NFL pro.

Here's the ESPN article as well. It was obvious to most of us that he wasn't completely healthy last year, as he mentions he was mostly throwing with his upper body. This year expect more of that zip to be back and for him to feel much more comfortable with the play calls and audibles/hot reads.

I still cringe when people mention the 2 benchings... I mean do they seriously think Flores would've let Herbert finish a game VS the Pats where he lost 45-0?

Thats the most absurd argument against Tua's rookie year... There's plenty to improve on but Tua getting benched was a Flores thing not a Tua thing...

What about the rumor that Gailey's playbook was primarily for Fitz & really not adapted for TT?
