MIAMI GARDENS — Miami Dolphins backup quarterback Tyler “Snoop” Huntley appeared more comfortable running the offense in Sunday’s 20-3 victory at the Cleveland Browns than he did running the offense in his other three starts this season. Huntley seemed better executing the offense, coach Mike McDaniel seemed better calling plays that were more friendly to Huntley’s skills. Previously, it appeared the Dolphins’ backup quarterbacks — Skylar Thompson, Tim Boyle and Huntley, in his previous starts — were playing in an offense designed for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and his pinpoint accurate passing skills. Huntley, the Hallandale High School product, can pinpoint the exact moment things began to fall into place. “I would say after my third start when I was just able to watch Tua come in during that Arizona game and I was just able to click by seeing how he can take control of the offense,” Huntley said. The Dolphins (8-8) hope Huntley’s comfort level carries over to this Sunday’s regular-season finale at the New York Jets (4-12), if, as expected, Huntley makes the start for Miami instead of Tagovailoa, who is battling a hip injury with a possible playoff berth on the line. “I know one thing, Snoop will get more reps than Tua this week as we go through the week,” McDaniel said Monday, “and we have to be prepared for both guys to play because I don’t really know exactly what it’s going to look like this next Sunday.” Against Cleveland it became apparent that many of the principles McDaniel utilizes for Tagovailoa can now be used for Huntley.
