Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill is calling out Tua Tagovailoa about that he needs to show more leadership and communicate like Patrick Mahomes. Hill was on the Pivot with former NFL players Channing Crowder, Ryan Clark and Fred Taylor where Tua needs to step up in is leadership role as Captain of a team like Patrick Mahomes.
The future of Tua Tagovailoa still hangs in the balance whether or not the Dolphins will resign him and extend his contract. Tua is coming off is rookie contract and it is unknown if the Miami Dolphins will propose a contract extension. If the Miami Dolphins do decide as an organization to move forward with Tua it seems like leadership needs to step up in his game.
Since Tyreek Hill has shed light on Tua’s leadership and communication skills not comparing to Patrick Mahomes it seems like that is one key area that needs to improve for the Dolphins to go anywhere and improve next season. Tyreek pointed out that Mahomes had a relationship with his teammates outside of the game of football where that relationship is still building in Miami. Tyreek Hill is hoping that Tua will have that urge to be more like Patrick Mahomes in communication and leadership in his role as Captain.
The Kansas City Chiefs played the Miami Dolphins in the 1st Wild Card round of the playoffs last season in Kansas City and the Dolphins ended up losing that game and the Kansas City Chiefs ended up going to the Super Bowl after winning the next rounds of the playoffs. Fans and the Miami Dolphins organization were hoping for a different outcome. Hill mentioned after the result of that game that its not what they wanted to do offensively that game, they did not come together as an offense. As an offense they could not change the protection of the defense because there wasn’t enough time which led to delay of game.
Is Tyreek Hill correct on Tua’s Tagovailoa’s Leadership and Communication?
The Dolphins organization is still hopeful for a bright future in Miami with Tua. If Tua communicates better and shows leadership with his team, the Dolphins might have a better outcome next season instead of losing the division and traveling to another city in the playoffs.
Communication and leadership is key when wanting to win games in the NFL. A leader of a team should excel in that category. Patrick Mahomes has a relationship on and off the field with his teammates and it shows. The Kansas City Chiefs are 4 time Super Bowl Champions alone because of leadership and communication.
Time will tell if the Miami Dolphins will extend Tagovailoa’s contract and if Tyreek Hill is correct on if that is one of the errors the Miami Dolphins need to improve upon in the offseason leading into the 2024 season.
