Chop Robinson calls potential Tua Tagovailoa sack 'personal' ahead of preseason game

Chop Robinson, edge rusher for the Miami Dolphins, expressed his desire to sack Tua Tagovailoa in their upcoming preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons. Robinson, who once shared a locker with Tagovailoa, emphasized that it would be personal rather than just business. Tagovailoa, released by the Dolphins and now vying for the starting job in Atlanta, faces pressure following a lackluster preseason opener where he completed three out of five passes for 22 yards. Reports indicate that the Falcons organization had hoped to let rookie Michael Penix Jr. ease into the starting role due to recovery from an ACL tear, but Tagovailoa's performance may complicate this strategy. The game presents a critical opportunity for Tagovailoa to prove himself amidst ongoing scrutiny about his past play and current durability concerns.
