Tua Tagovailoa praises Miami Dolphins rookie Quinn Ewers: 'balling.'
"I think Quinn's been balling," Tua said after Miami's seventh training camp practice. "I think he's been buying into what he's been told in the quarterback room."
Ewers, a seventh rounder from Texas, has made a big jump in recent outings.
"Feeling healthy helps," Ewers said of growing confidence. "And I feel like I'm playing faster each and every day. I feel like with what's installed right now, I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on that."
Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel says Ewers has improved in the area of timing. The Miami offense is so predicated on timing and rhythm and trust.
Tua Tagovailoa: Miami Dolphins rookie Quinn Ewers 'balling'
Ewers says he's feeling more comfortable from the college-to-NFL transition.
"I would just say the details and just the magnitude of the plays and how much every small detail matters," Ewers said. "Because obviously detail matters within Texas' playbook with Coach Sarkisian. But in the NFL I feel like it's just another level and just the multitude of different variations of plays that they have that match other plays. And it's, but at the end of the day, I love a challenge."

Ewers is the clear number three quarterback, behind veteran Zach Wilson. But it's certainly possible Ewers plays his way off a practice squad projection and onto the roster in the preseason.
"That's where all the fun is, is finally getting out and getting to play other people rather than your own teammates," Ewers said. "And you get to see some different defenses and defensive schemes and defense players. Yeah, I feel good about it."

Sinner lukewarm on expanded Cincinnati format
Jannik Sinner on Wednesday gave tepid approval to the 12-day jumbo version of the ATP-WTA Cincinnati Masters while confessing that he would actually prefer to keep the event to the usual one week length. The world number one will be defending his title at the final big event prior to the August 24 start of the US Open. Extending the ongoing Canada event - and Cincinnati - to 12 days with 96-player draws also means that WTA and ATP events in Canada will stage unorthodox finals on Thursday while play is beginning in Cincinnati. Sinner said that given the choice he would opt for the classic system of one-week events for an increasingly crowded calendar. "We (top players) cannot control everything," the Italian said. "The fans now have two weekends to hopefully watch some good tennis. "That is exactly what we need in this sport." But the Wimbledon champion who skipped Canada to rest after his triumph two weeks earlier in the final at the All England Club over Carlos Alcaraz added: "I would prefer a one-week event, it's something that I like. "But it's OK, I'm here and I'm very happy." Other top 10 players, including Novak Djokovic and Alex de Minaur, have also complained in recent days about the wholesale calendar rewrite which has the enthusiastic endorsement of the ATP and WTA. Sinner said that he enjoyed his time away from the courts, spending time at home with family and friends. "Then it was back to practice to try and get as ready as possible for the US swing." He said Wimbledon, where he beat Alcaraz after losing to the Spaniard at Roland Garros, "felt very, very special." str/bb
