An inside look at the Jets-Dolphins Week 18 matchup on Sunday at MetLife Stadium: Dolphins QB Tyler “Snoop” Huntley vs.the Jets defenseThe Bills embarrassed the Jets defense last week, hanging 40 points on them.
Can they bounce back this week and show some pride in their final outing of the season? The defense has been a huge disappointment, entering the season with expectations of being one of the best defenses in football but collapsing in big spots repeatedly this year.Huntley is expected to start for the second straight week while Tua Tagovailoa deals with a hip injury.Huntley helped the Dolphins beat the Browns last week, throwing for 225 yards and a touchdown.“The offense is such a systematic offense in the way they operate that — although Tua is a fantastic player, he really is — the offense, Huntley can absolutely run this offense at a high level,” Jets interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said.
“So I think regardless of who was quarterback we are going to face a lot of the same stuff schematically, the only real difference is Huntley’s mobility.He is a guy that is a scrambler and he will get first downs with his with his legs and we got to account for that.”The Dolphins are still fighting for a playoff spot.
The Jets are fighting to get to the airport to begin their offseason vacations.Everything points to Miami in this one … but I think the Jets will put together one more frustrating performance for their fans.
