Former Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is preparing for his third season in the NFL with the team that drafted No. 5 overall in 2020: the Miami Dolphins.
It’s been a rough few seasons for Tagovailoa. His performance on the field is far from terrible, but you wouldn’t gather that from seeing what fans and analysts say about him.
Recently, Touchdown Wire shared a list of the worst quarterback in the league against every type of coverage. Tagovailoa made the list against the ‘Red 2 coverage’.
“Tagovailoa’s issues with Red-2 are interesting since he found his way onto our list of the best quarterbacks against every type of coverage when he faced red zone defenses. Perhaps there was something about the deeper safeties that threw him off, and the quick-game and RPO concepts just didn’t work as well. The tape shows there that Tagovailoa had a tendency to be erratic with his reads, and clunky with his mechanics. Against Red-2 in 2021, Tagovailoa completed seven of 12 passes for three yards, three air yards, one touchdown, no interceptions, an ANY/A of 5.6, and a passer rating of 69.1.”
Roll Tide Wire will continue to follow Tagovailoa and other former Alabama players in the NFL as the 2022 offseason continues.
