After his team’s 31-12 loss Monday night to the Tennessee Titans in Tyler Huntley’s debut under center, Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel forecast changes to the NFL’s worst scoring offense through four games before his 1-3 club heads to New England.
MIAMI — After his team’s 31-12 loss Monday night to the Tennessee Titans, «everything is on the table» for Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel, who forecast changes to the NFL’s worst scoring offense through four games.
The Dolphins scored a touchdown late in the fourth quarter Monday to snap a 10-quarter drought without one, and they are averaging just 11.3 points per game. Their 1-3 start is their worst under Mike McDaniel, who said the team was «not even close to good enough.»
«I have to look at the tape. There was a tremendous disconnect between preparation and execution», McDaniel said. «So, there was a multitude of contributors to it, I believe, but I have to check the tape out. Bottom line is it doesn’t matter what we’re doing behind the scenes. On the field, that’s not even close to good enough, so you just have to go back to the drawing board and assess very critically.»
Miami finished with just 184 total yards against the Titans, 85 of which came on its lone touchdown drive of the night. It converted on just 2 of 12 third-down attempts, dropping it to 3-of-24 over its past two games.
The Dolphins also committed 10 penalties, giving them 21 over the past two weeks.
Starting in place of the injured Skylar Thompson and Tua Tagovailoa, quarterback Tyler Huntley completed 14 of 22 passes for 96 yards.
