As the Dolphins are on a two-game winning streak, Tua Tagovailoa would talk about players-only meetings.<\/p>\n

\"Miami<\/p>\n

As the\u00a0Miami Dolphins prepare to face the New England Patriots\u00a0this Sunday, they are coming off of an impressive 34-19 win over the Las Vegas Raiders last weekend. With the\u00a0Dolphins in the quest for the playoffs, star quarterback\u00a0Tua Tagovailoa\u00a0spoke Wednesday about the projection of the team and their current state.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In Wednesday’s press conference, Tagovailoa would cite that player-only meetings have\u00a0\u201chelped push the envelope\u00a0on what we want to do as a team\u201d since the team is currently on a two-game winning streak, according to Joe Schad. He would echo the same sentiments after the victory to Las Vegas as getting back their rhythm was vital.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI think coming back it\u2019s more so\u00a0how can we get back into our rhythm\u00a0as an offense, finding that rhythm, whether it\u2019s in the run game, the action game, the pass game, whatever that looks like and just protecting the ball,\u201d Tagovailoa said via the team’s transcripts. \u201cNot trying to force things if it\u2019s not there. We\u2019ve got good enough players to where if we get them the ball in space, we like our chances. That\u2019s sort of been the mindset coming back. And really pocket presence as well. If guys want to drop eight or if they want to bring pressure, just feeling that out. If I still have time in the pocket, just moving subtly, things like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

There is no doubt that when\u00a0Tagovailoa suffered a concussion in Week 2\u00a0against the Buffalo Bills, Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel tried in all his power to keep the ship afloat. However, the team had a 2-4 record when the quarterback came back and dropped two crucial games to the Arizona Cardinals and the Buffalo Bills, but Tagovailoa admitted that it would be \u201cweek-to-week\u201d in getting their groove back.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s a week-to-week thing,\u201d Tagovailoa said last Sunday. \u201cWe\u2019ve just got to build off of what we can learn from this week. We move forward. We see what the next opponent is and things that we can do to get better to give us the edge to win that next game. And we\u2019ll continue to move forward. I don\u2019t think anyone can play their best game essentially. But you try to minimize the amount of mistakes that you have in games. So I think that\u2019s what we\u2019re trying to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

However, there is no doubt that Miami is building momentum by the week as they have a very winnable game against the Patriots up next, but they have to make sure not to look ahead.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI would say any time you can get a win in the NFL, it\u2019s a momentum builder for your team, for the locker room, for the organization,\u201d Tagovailoa said. \u201cIt always feels better when your body is hurting after a win than a loss. I would say we\u2019re looking forward to New England next week. We\u2019re going to enjoy this game and move forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

At any rate, the Dolphins are currently 4-6, which puts them second in the AFC East behind the Buffalo Bills as they look to keep their season alive as the season moves forward. It’s vital to take care of the winnable games like Sunday against New England.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n
