After a 1-5 start, Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is expressing his frustration with some of his teammates.

During the post-game press conference after Miami's 29-27 loss Sunday to the Los Angeles Chargers, Tagovailoa was asked if the team could keep a positive attitude. Tagovailoa pointed to how some players have been committed to the team by making it to meetings on time or not showing up at all.

"I think it starts with the leadership in helping articulate that for the guys and then what we're expecting out of the guys," he said. "We're expecting this -- are we getting that? Are we not getting that? We have guys showing up to players-only meetings late, guys not showing up to players-only meetings. There's a lot that goes into that. Do we have to make this mandatory? Do we not have to make this mandatory?”

"It's a lot of things of that nature that we've got to get cleaned up, and it starts with little things like that,” Tagovailoa continued.

When it comes to players' meetings, Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said player-led meetings are "outside of what I demand.”

"We've been very accountable to me," McDaniel said. "It sounds like there was something on his mind in regard to the specific meetings with a couple of individuals that he was trying to get corrected ... with direct communication. I think that's the only way to lead, as far as where we've been at as a program. I think we've opened the air on all of that, and it's very clear how we hold people accountable and with all those things.

"Clearly, he's sending a message, but from my standpoint, everything that I've asked of the guys, they have delivered on. I'm sure whomever he is talking to, they'll deliver as well."

He then held himself accountable for throwing three interceptions as he looked ahead to Miami's next game against the Cleveland Browns in Week 7.

“The only place we can go is next week," he said. "We talk about figuring this out. We talk about getting it together collectively,” Tagovailoa said. “What are the problems, what are the issues, and are they getting fixed? Are they not getting fixed? Why are they not getting fixed? Or if they're fixed, how are we not allowing it to happen again? Things of that nature.”

"We've got to look at the film again, we've got to see where we can go. I contributed to a lot of that as well with the three turnovers,” Tagovailoa went on. You can't do that and expect to win games."

The Dolphins take on the Browns on Sunday, October 19.
