""I haven't really seen him that dispirited the last few weeks," Bevell said. "It's important to him to play well, obviously. But it's more the mindset of, 'Where can I make my corrections? What can I do better?' But it hasn't been an aspect where he's lost any confidence or been down.""
""I really try to do my best to stay connected with Tua, in terms of the mental aspect, the physical aspect, really all aspects of playing quarterback," he said. "So I have to have a great feel of how he's being affected, whether it's noise from outside, noise from inside, all those things, and have a good feel on how to handle that. And do I need to buoy him up? Do I need to get after him? All those different things that coaching entails.""
""For us, a lot of times it comes back to our feet," Bevell said. "I'm not speaking to all of those (turnovers), but just, generally, it comes back to our feet.""
Tagovailoa struggled with turnovers early in the 2025 season, starting with three turnovers against the Colts and late interceptions in losses to the Patriots and Bills. Despite the struggles, he remained even-tempered and focused on making corrections and improving his play. Bevell maintains close contact on mental and physical aspects, adjusts coaching approach as needed, and emphasizes footwork as a fundamental tied to turnovers. In the win over the Jets, Tagovailoa completed 17 of 25 for 177 yards, threw two touchdown passes to Darren Waller, had no interceptions, and displayed playful, confident play on a run-fake flip to Malik Washington.
