Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel has done his homework on the Tennessee Titans ahead of their Week 14 matchup on Monday night.
And, more specifically, he’s done his homework on Titans rookie signal-caller, Will Levis, who he heaped praise on during the week in what was nothing short of a thoughtful yet funny review of the Kentucky product.
“[Levis] can throw the ball far and they like to do a lot of it. I think they have currently – the Titans offense – little-known fact, I think they lead the league in plus-20 yard throws, 22 percent of their passes, I believe – you can check me on that, because I’m pretty sure it’s right (laughter) – are of that depth, so they challenge you,” McDaniel said. “It’s cool to watch a guy come into a team with other players that are very much capable and what I’ve learned from afar is that it’s not about him. He was just chopping wood, but you can learn a lot by just watching and listening. And you watch how guys play with him on the field and you can tell he’s earned the respect of veteran players. And you either have that or you don’t. As a quarterback, there’s nowhere to hide. So it’s cool to watch him progress and I think he is capable of making, I think pretty much every throw.”
Now, a look at what else the Dolphins are saying about the Titans going into this contest.
