Some Language Arts teacher needs to sit the Miami Dolphins coaches, executives and players down for a grammar lecture discouraging the use of double negatives.
First it was Tua Tagovailoa saying “I don’t not feel wanted,” when addressing Miami’s months-long pursuit of a trade for Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson, which concealed layers of tension and resentment that allegedly was brewing between the Tagovailoa, the Dolphins’ 2020 first-round pick, and Brian Flores, the head coach the team fired at the end of the season.
Even though general manager Chris Grier said “the door is shut” on Miami’s pursuit of Watson on Wednesday at the NFL scouting combine, when Grier was asked if Tagovailoa can be an elite NFL quarterback, the Dolphins’ top football executive hit the South Florida media with his own double negative, which may have provided a few hints on the state of the team’s quarterback position.
