Part 7/13:

Perhaps most critical is the state of Tua Tagovailoa. Big O bluntly states that Tua is "done here," playing with no confidence and visibly protecting himself under relentless pressure and chaos. His deteriorating trust in McDaniel's system and offensive line has led to a decline in performance, with interceptions, injuries, and a disconnect from his coaching staff.

Big O suggests that Tua's mental and physical health are now priority, arguing that he should focus on self-preservation, especially given Ross's fiscal priorities rather than player well-being. He hypothesizes that the Dolphins may choose to "punt" on Tua by sitting him out for the remainder of the season—preserving him for a future team—especially if injury concerns and cap implications make his continued presence unviable.
