Is Tua Tagovailoa's Height Stopping Him From Connecting With Jaylen Waddle

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa recently made an unexpected admission, attributing his difficulties in targeting Jaylen Waddle to his height. Tagovailoa’s play has raised questions, especially following Waddle's meager four targets and a single reception for 15 yards during Sunday's defeat. In a candid moment on Wednesday, the 6-foot-1 quarterback noted, “Some of it has to do with being able to see guys … I’m not the tallest guy in the back there either.” He emphasized the importance of visibility on the field and the need to avoid hasty throws, which may have impacted his connection with Waddle. Tagovailoa ended the game with a bleak 12 of 23 completions, suffering two sacks and throwing three second-half interceptions. One interception was notably returned for a touchdown. With targets notably low, this reflection on height suggests an urgent need for Tagovailoa to enhance his performance and field awareness.
