Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores repeatedly has answered questions about the team's reported interest in making a trade for Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson by saying that Tua Tagovailoa "is our quarterback."As more stories surface, with some suggesting trade compensation between the Jeff Heath Jersey Dolphins and Texans has been settled, Flores was pre sed Friday to take his "Tua is our quarterback" endorsement a step further.I asked him point blank if he could definitely declare that Tua would be the team's starting quarterback for the rest of the 2021 season.Definitively that hes the quarterback?" Flores began. "Barring, no I mean, theres a lot of things With that, I added, barring injury.Yeah, barring injury, yeah.That declaration is the strongest statement yet that Flores has made regarding Tua, even though it certainly could have been stronger.We dont want to trade X," Flores said back then. "Write that down. Hes a very good player. Hes a great part of the team. We dont want to trade X.Or we can go back to last October when the team actually released an official statement pushing back against a story saying they had fielded offers for Howard and included the sentence, "We are not exploring any trades regarding Xavien Howard.Flores was reminded of that comment Friday and asked why he would handle the Howard situation differently.Scroll Ian Book Jersey to ContinueI wouldnt say its different," Flores said. "I would say Ive answered that question by saying Tua is our quarterback. New Orleans Saints Hoodies Sweatshirts Im not getting into speculation, Im not getting into rumors, Im not getting into rumor, speculation, distractions. Focus on our team. Focus on our quarterback, and thats Tua.Again, I dont get into reports or rumors or speculation. Im focused on our team and the guys in our locker room. And when we get outside of that, thats not where my focus is. My focus is on our players and helping them improve and get better. Thats where my focus is. Thats where its always going to be.With reports of the Miami Dolphins' interest in making a trade for Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson surfacing regularly over the past several days,Whether Flores' comments stop the Watson speculation, as he calls it, is questionable, if not doubtful, because there have just been Marquez Callaway Jersey too many reports out there to completely dismi s Dolphins interest.And, to be fair, Flores is in a tough spot because he has to balance being honest and forthcoming with trying to support his players as best as po sible.The whole situation has been uncomfortable for the Dolphins, but not nearly as much for anybody other than Tua.I dont not feel wanted," Tua replied. "Thats what I could say.Then Tua was asked whether he'd like to hear the Dolphins officially say they're not interested in making a trade for Watson.Honestly, I dont base my emotions off of who says anything about me or who is saying what," Tua said. "All I can do is my job and do it to the best of my capabilities. Everything else, I mean its out of my control. But I have the James Hurst Jersey utmost confidence and trust that I am the quarterback of this team, just off of conversations that Ive had with Flo (Brian Flores) and whatnot. That obviously stays between us. But yeah, I feel very confident that Im the person.Flores was asked Friday why he hadn't yet made a more declarative statement.When I say hes our quarterback," Flores replied, "that is me saying were committed to him.
