Tua Tagovailoa is sounding the alarm because some Dolphins are arriving late to meetings

Tua Tagovailoa’s concerns about the Dolphins are there for everyone to know.

The Dolphins’ quarterback has publicly expressed concerns about his teammates and where some of their heads are, describing a group that only saw players show up late to player meetings.

Tagovailoa made the comments after Miami lost its fifth game during the first six weeks of the season.

“Well, I think it starts with leadership and helping to explain that to the guys,” Tagovailoa said He said After Miami’s 29-27 loss to the Chargers.

“Then what would we expect from players, right? We expect this, we understand that, right? We have guys who show up late to players’ meetings only, and guys who just don’t show up to players’ meetings. Like, there’s a lot that goes into that. Do we have to make this mandatory, don’t we have to make this mandatory? So, there’s a lot of things like that that we have to clean up, and it starts with the little things like that.”

Tagovailoa explained that some players were late to players-only meetings, and coach Mike McDaniel described that as “something that was on his mind regarding specific meetings with a couple of individuals that he was trying to correct through direct communication.”

Sunday’s loss came down to a last-minute field goal by Chargers kicker Cameron Decker to help Los Angeles take down Miami, as things continued to go downhill for the Dolphins.
