Dolphins Defender Sends Message to Tua Tagovailoa Ahead of Preseason Clash
Tua Tagovailoa returns to Miami to face his former team, and Dolphins pass rusher Chop Robinson has made it clear: it's personal.
In a preseason showdown, Miami Dolphins edge rusher Chop Robinson took a moment to address his former teammate, Tua Tagovailoa, who is set to start for the Atlanta Falcons. Robinson, speaking to reporters, hinted at a personal and intense game ahead. "It's going to be fun, especially since we couldn't hit him," Robinson remarked, "but now it's game time, and I'll be able to hit him."
Acknowledging Tagovailoa's past as a good teammate, Robinson wished him well but emphasized that sportsmanship takes a backseat. "It's always personal," he affirmed when asked if he views the matchup strictly as business.
Robinson admitted to feeling personal in the confrontation. Despite Tagovailoa's success with the Falcons, Robinson is eager to make an impact. "It's going to be personal," he stated. Current Miami Dolphins possess a roster that has seen significant turnover since Tagovailoa's departure, including the loss of Pro Bowl pass rusher Bradley Chubb and All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick.
Robinson, a first-round pick by the Dolphins in 2024, is anticipated to bolster the team's defensive capabilities. Over his two NFL seasons, he has accumulated notable stats such as 47 combined tackles, 12 tackles for loss, 21 quarterback hits, and 10 sacks, which are expected to increase as he steps into a starting role.
