The Tua Tagovailoa era will officially begin in Miami this Sunday when the first-round selection out of Alabama makes his first NFL start for the Dolphins against the Los Angeles Rams. Tagovailoa has been labeled as an extremely accurate passer and should increase the production of some of the pass catchers in the offense.

While Tua has only throw two passes thus far this season, it wouldn't be a surprise if he comes out firing and makes his receivers look good. The question that Miami fans are dying to know is, which ones?

On the daily Locked On Dolphins Podcast, host Kyle Crabbs answered a ton of listener questions this week as Dolphins fans fight for any extra tidbits they can receive about Tagovailoa’s first NFL start. Crabbs discussed who will benefit most from Tua's presence:

Crabbs: That is hard to answer without seeing how each of the pass catchers is vibing with him at practice. If anything, just flying dark, I would anticipate that everyone would benefit from more consistently accurate footballs. That to me stands out as the biggest advantage to Tua versus Fitz relative to the limitations that the offense currently has. Maybe we get a little more tight end action, more consistent tight end action. Because I know Gesicki has had opportunities in the middle of the field where he has not been seen and therefore not targeted and that is a question that everybody has. That is my hopeful answer to who benefits the most.
