The day we all knew was coming has, mercifully, finally arrived. From the very moment his name was called on that Thursday night last April, we all knew that Tuanigamanuolepola Tagovailoa would be starting sooner than later. From my perspective, the idea of his sitting out the entire year was never really an option; they’d have wasted valuable time getting him acclimated to the NFL and the Dolphins’ offense, thus shrinking the window for the team hopefully contending for a deep playoff run in a couple of years. As for the notion that Dolphins coach Brian Flores was concerned about starting the kid because of the injury, we need to recognize ‘coach speak’ when we hear it, rather than taking everything the guy says literally.
