Tua Tagovailoa is making his much-anticipated debut with the Miami Dolphins on Sunday versus the Los Angeles Rams and there isn't much tape on him yet. In a segment on NFL Network, Daniel Jeremiah shared what he expects to see from Tagovailoa in his first career start.

Within the video, NFL Network's Steve Wyche shares that the Rams used tape of Tagovailoa at Alabama to prepare for the left-handed passer. On the other hand, Jeremiah expects the Alabama version of Tagovailoa to emerge in his Dolphins' debut on Sunday.
“If you're wondering what he's going to be as a player, I'd go back to what I saw at the University of Alabama, and the operative word is ‘quick.' You're gonna see somebody with very quick feet on his setup. You're gonna see somebody that's gonna quickly work through progressions. Somebody with the quick release. Everything about him is quick.
Of course, the discussion of this game has been centered around Tagovailoa and the defense of the Rams. Both Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey are among the best defensive players in the NFL.
Donald himself is a player that can single-handedly wreck an offensive gameplan on the defensive line. Provided that, Miami will want to avoid having Tagovailoa taking hits from Donald all game.
Therefore, we should expect to see the Dolphins have Tagovailoa get rid of the ball quickly to nullify the pass rush of the Rams. However, keeping Donald and Los Angeles' defense in check is easier said than done.
With that being said, all eyes will be on Tagovailoa and how he performs in his first start in the NFL.
