There\u2019s an interesting footnote to emerge from Sunday\u2019s 31-6 loss by the Dolphins to the Browns: Receiver Jaylen Warren caught one pass, for 15 yards.<\/p>\n
Earlier this week, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was asked about Cleveland\u2019s ability to keep Tua and Waddle from connecting.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think with that, some of it has to do with being able to see guys with their guys also up front and our guys,\u201d Tagovailoa told reporters. \u201cI\u2019m not the tallest guy in the back there either, so being able to see and then sometimes when that happens, you don\u2019t want to just throw it blindly and you\u2019ve got to progress. I think that had some merit to reasons as to why that happened for Waddle.\u201d<\/p>\n
Short quarterbacks routinely navigate the impediments that come from having tall offensive and defensive linemen blocking their view. It\u2019s about seeing through the lanes an timing and anticipation. Rarely if ever do short quarterbacks publicly blame that for any struggles in getting the ball to receivers. They\u2019re typically wired to downplay the connection between their height and their performance.<\/p>\n
Tua did. Which will result in more scrutiny of whether and to what extent his stature could contribute to any on-field struggles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There\u2019s an interesting footnote to emerge from Sunday\u2019s 31-6 loss by the Dolphins to the Browns: Receiver Jaylen…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":250497,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-250496","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-nfl","9":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250496","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=250496"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250496\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/250497"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=250496"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=250496"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=250496"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
