Miami Dolphins coach Brian Flores made a strong comment Tuesday on the team’s quarterback battle entering Week 2 of training camp.
“It is pretty clear to me that Ryan Fitzpatrick is leading the way,” Flores said.
Fitzpatrick is competing with Josh Rosen for the Dolphins’ starting job.
Flores cited Fitzpatrick’s leadership skills and ability to run the offense efficiently, but he emphasized that “this is still a competition.”
He also discussed his decision to fire offensive line coach Pat Flaherty, saying there were a lot of factors in the move, not a specific incident. He listed communication and fit as reasons for making the change to Dave DeGuglielmo.
“The easy decision would have to be do nothing and hope it got better,” he said.
