Tagovailoa, the No. 5 overall pick in the 2020 draft, Don Larsen Jersey completed his first two pa ses near the end of Sunday's 24-0 win over the . His first career start will take place at home against the in Week 8."Fitz has been great," . "I don't know if anybody has been more instrumental in trying to instill a culture and embody a lot of the things we're looking for in terms of toughne s, competitivene s, being team first. He's made an impact on Tua but a lot of other players on this team. I have great respect for him, and that made this decision very Derek Jeter Jersey tough. But at the end of the day, we felt like this was the best move for our team now moving forward. But we feel like with Fitz, the way he handles himself and his impact on this team, I feel like it will still be there. But he's been a tremendous a set and leader on this Matt Holliday Jersey team." WAS QB #14 Fitzpatrick is completing a career-high 70.1% of his pa ses through six games. After a 1-3 start, the Dolphins have won consecutive games by a combined score of 67-17.

I Randy Johnson Jersey 'm confident that, if he prepares the way that he's been preparing, I'm confident that we'll go out and have good results. But it's not a one man game. It's football. We'll need all 11 guys to go out there and play together and play as a team. And I'm Babe Ruth Jersey confident that we can do that."Flores did not hide his disappointment in how the news of Miami's quarterback switch was announced, as he said that he would have preferred to addre s the team of his decision before it was leaked to the public. "Unfortunately, that's the way of the world right now," Flores said. "That's unfortunate. I'm not happy about that at all. I'll addre s that to the team and apologize to the team that they had to find out through social media. I don't think that's fair to them."
