""You guys caught me before I heard them [yesterday]," McDaniel said. "I think regardless of intent and what was on Tua's mind after a loss, as the franchise quarterback that's not the forum to displace that -- I think he knows that. Now, I do honestly believe there was no ill intention, but you're talking about, I think, a misguided representation of player-orchestrated film sessions.""
""The bottom line is no one's going to be happy and always are looking for reasons for failure to succeed. So you're trying to look for reasons that you can attribute to losses and heavy is the crown of being a franchise quarterback.""
Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa criticized team leadership after the Dolphins' loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, saying some players were late for players-only meetings. Coach Mike McDaniel labeled those comments misguided and said a postgame news conference was not the appropriate forum to raise such issues. McDaniel said he had not heard the full remarks immediately and, after hearing them, believed there was no ill intent. McDaniel described the comments as a misguided representation of player-orchestrated film sessions and noted the heavy burden of being the franchise quarterback. McDaniel also said Tagovailoa has directly communicated with teammates and will live and learn from the situation.
