Tua Tagovailoa – August 11, 2023 (Second Quarter) Download PDF version

QB Tua Tagovailoa on CBS Miami Broadcast

(First time in a long time you’ve been back in an NFL stadium and on an NFL sideline with this many fans in here. Are you itching to get back out there today?) – “It feels good. I think the team really enjoys seeing the fans out here, seeing the atmosphere, real game-like situations. It’s really cool. I feel blessed to be back out here. Everyone’s excited.”

(How competitive were those two joint practices against the Falcons this week? It looked like you guys had a couple slow starts but then finished strong.) – “Really competitive. They’re an NFL team. They’ve got really good guys on that side of the ball. They made some plays. We made some plays. So, it’s always good to have good back-and-forth, but there’s a lot of things that were to be corrected.”

(You mentioned the other day that you guys wanted to try some things during the joint practices. Is that just a testament with how comfortable you are in this offense in year two?) – “I think it’s a testament to the coaching style of our coaches, allowing us to do that and trusting their coaching so when we do make a mistake, it’s alright, we know we can do this. We know we can’t do that. We know we can fit this. We know we can’t fit that. It’s all learning experiences.”

(Seeing QB Mike White getting the start tonight back in his hometown, I’m guessing that whole quarterback room is excited for him. What have you seen out of him so far?) – “The way Mike plays out here is the way he plays in golf. Almost lights out. Mike is good. I enjoy having him in the quarterback room as well as Skylar (Thompson). Really excited to see them go out and get their opportunity.”

(You guys been hitting the links a lot?) – “We did once. Mike (White) is good. I like Mike.”
