Mike McDaniel wasn't happy when a reporter asked the Miami Dolphins coach how much of Tua Tagovailoa's success this season can be attributed to the team's offensive system.

The Dolphins are 5-1 and Tagovailoa is part of the early MVP conversation.

"I'm about to push this podium over," McDaniel said when a reporter suggested that many quarterbacks would have similar success in his system. "My answer to that would be who the F cares, because it is a team, we're working together, and I know one thing. I've coached a long time, I haven't seen people do what our guys do. ... To their credit, to their ability and their commitment to their craft. 

"As a teammate, we're all dependent on each other. I'm not in any hurry to prove myself without those guys, because those are part of who we are. To say it's this person or that person is kind of missing the point. It is a team working together, people working together. Myself, Tyreek Hill, Tua, cool, but what if no one's blocking anyone? You know what I mean? We're all connected in that way. That's why, I think, a lot of the guys ... Tua's success in their success, Tyreek's success, Waddle's, Raheem's etc. 

"We're all tied together," McDaniels continued. "It's a journey that we're experiencing together. Somebody will get the statistics from it, but none of those statistics are worth anything if you don't have a full support from your players across the board, all 11, and then it goes down to the organization and all those things combined. But I know this, our players run a lot of plays that I have a lot of history with, and it looks different, and that's because of hard work and unbelievable abilities."
