The Dolphins Seek Improvement Despite a Difficult Start
Despite a season start with three losses, Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel assures that the team is constantly progressing. Although he acknowledges “growing pains”, the coach remains optimistic about the team’s future. In the recent game against the Buffalo Bills, the Dolphins showed improvement, staying close in the score despite being considered underdogs. McDaniel, although not satisfied with the loss, highlights the team’s progress week after week.One concern is the Dolphins’ defense, which has allowed scores on most of their opponents’ possessions. In addition, the team has had to rebuild its defense, including several new players and the return of others who were absent in the previous season. McDaniel emphasizes the importance of this context for evaluating the team’s performance. The “growing pains” are evident, but the coach sees a fighting spirit in his players, who are working together to improve. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is also key to the team’s success. In the game against the Bills, Tagovailoa had a mixed performance, with touchdown passes and important plays, but also an interception. McDaniel highlights Tagovailoa’s growth in handling pressure and decision-making, but also points out areas for improvement. The team will have a break before facing the New York Jets in the “Monday Night Football” of Week 4. During this break, McDaniel hopes players rest and spend time with their families before returning to training. For the next game at Hard Rock Stadium, the debut of tight end Darren Waller is expected, who missed the first three games due to an injury.The team has improved in recent weeks and is getting to the point where you can reasonably expect to go to a game on Sunday and have the expectation of winning through good football. However, there are still things we are failing at and we are trying to make sure it’s not the same thing over and over again.
