Riddick praised Tagovailoa for main the league in passing yards final season, proving he could be sturdy, and constantly making tough throws behind an offensive line that suffered a slew of accidents.
“When they win, it’s Tyreek [Hill], when they lose, it’s Tua,” Riddick added. “They get bludgeoned for 150 yards on the ground, Tua should’ve been out there playing linebacker. They don’t run the football, why didn’t Tua run the football? It’s like it’s always his fault.”
Tagovailoa did have a profession yr final season and now has the idea of his whole group and his offense. If he continues on that trajectory, he’ll silence loads of the doubters who didn’t consider he was value this new contract.
