It turns out that he's very comfortable with his dual role of leading the 2020 Dolphins on and off the field while also helping to prepare the man who will eventually take his job.
"I don't know how much time it will be before Tua will be in the lineup. I know that I am the placeholder. We've already had that conversation," Fitzpatrick said.
