Team and coach impressed with Tyler “Snoop” Huntley’s performance
The Miami Dolphins Coach Mike McDaniel and the team were impressed with Tyler “Snoop” Huntley’s leadership during his time with the Baltimore Ravens. Since joining the Dolphins on September 17, Huntley has been working hard to learn their complex playbook.
With Tua Tagovailoa on injured reserve and backup Skylar Thompson recovering from a rib injury, Huntley was chosen to start. McDaniel plans to adjust existing plays to fit Huntley’s skills.
Huntley has a 64.6% career completion rate and 509 rushing yards. The Titans’ defense has been preparing to face him. Backup quarterback Tim Boyle will be available, and Thompson could be an emergency option.
