DAVIE, Fla. -- Miami Dolphins offensive coordinator Clyde Christensen's face lit up Tuesday when asked about backup quarterback Matt Moore.

"He's an electric guy," Christensen said. "He works every day. He comes out there and he's the pied piper. He takes young guys under his wing. He's a popular guy in the locker room and I think that his energy is contagious."

Since 2011, Moore has patiently waited as the backup for his chance to make a major footprint with the Dolphins. Thursday is a huge spot for him as he makes his first start of the season, in prime time, against the Baltimore Ravens.
