The exchange happened on Thursday, when the Dolphins faced the Buffalo Bills. In the fourth quarter, with Miami facing first-and-10, Tagovailoa threw an interception to Bills linebacker Terrel Bernard. X user Emmanuel Acho posted a video reaction to the play.
“They [are] in a basic zone coverage,” he said in the video. “And the linebackers [are] reading you the whole way. You telegraphed the whole thing… this day one.”
Tua… WHAT THE HELL???

Warner quoted the post with his own analysis of how the play unfolded.
“I respect all the guys out here doing work, but tell me what happened here, instead of just yelling at QB?” the former Cardinals star posted. “It was the right read off the coverage! Details matter!”

Emmanuel Acho responded to Warner’s comments, respecting the former Cardinals’ perspective on the play.
“I’m about to talk to the people who will read this, not you,” he posted. “You obviously know everything I’m about to say. Also, salute to you, gold jacket.”
