Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa: Looking sharp on deep throws
Tagovailoa has shown improvement with his downfield passing through the first week of training camp, but he still looks indecisive against blitzes, according to David Furones of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
The lack of a downfield passing game was Miami's biggest weakness last season, particularly when Tagovailoa was under center. Out of 35 qualified quarterbacks, he placed 31st in yards per completion (9.8) and 25th in average depth of target (7.8), struggling to find big plays while directing an undermanned Dolphins offense (he also finished 22nd in sack rate - 6.5 percent). Tagovailoa will have more help for his second NFL season, particularly in the downfield passing game with WRs Will Fuller and Jaylen Waddle. Injuries have prevented Fuller, DeVante Parker and Preston Williams (foot) from getting steady reps with Tagovailoa this summer, while rookie first-rounder Waddle -- a former college teammate at Alabama -- largely has been available for practice.
