Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel expressed concerns about the team’s overall performance after their 33-08 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in the season opener. While Tua Tagovailoa’s struggles were highlighted, McDaniel made it clear that the entire team fell short of expectations. The coach stated that every player’s performance was lacking, indicating a broader issue within the squad.
McDaniel’s comments came after a game where the Dolphins struggled to find rhythm on both sides of the ball. Despite Tagovailoa’s efforts, the quarterback’s decision-making and accuracy were questioned, contributing to the team’s poor offensive output. Defensive coordinator Raheem Morris also faced criticism, as the Dolphins allowed the Colts to move the ball efficiently throughout the game.
With the season opener now in the rearview, the Dolphins will look to regroup and address the issues that plagued their performance. McDaniel emphasized the need for the entire team to improve in order to compete at the high level required in the NFL. The coach’s comments indicate that the Dolphins are aware of the challenges they face and are committed to making the necessary adjustments for future games.
