The Will Levis era is off to a rocky start in Nashville. The Tennessee Titans’ second-year quarterback is tied for the league lead in fumbles with three and second in interceptions with five.
So the game plan for the Miami Dolphins The defense on Monday night is quite simple: make Lévis make mistakes.
“Will Levis has all the ability in the world. Right now you can see he’s fighting the turnover demon a little bit,” Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver told reporters Friday. “He’s capable. So we certainly don’t take him for granted, and we certainly don’t take this receiving corps for granted.
“We know them, we have plans to potentially limit their productivity and then we’re going to try to do everything we can to undermine that quarterback.”
Yet despite Levis’ struggles early in his NFL career, if there was one shining moment that gave the Titans optimism, it was his 2023 performance against the Dolphins.
In a Monday Night Football In the December game, Levis brought Tennessee back from a 27-13 deficit by orchestrating two touchdowns in the final three minutes of the fourth quarter. In the second half of this game, Lévis totaled 200 passing yards, one touchdown and no interceptions.
“We have to exorcise these demons to some extent, but every year is different,” Weaver said. “Many of us were not part of [that loss] at all, but the guys who were here, we know we want to make things right this week. They have a new team, a new staff, new coordinators, new players – same thing here, but these two logos, we know what that means. »
Through three weeks, the Dolphins recorded six sacks, 22nd most in the NFL, and forced three turnovers, 14th most.
