Bengals Prepare for Dolphins with Insight on Malik Willis
The Cincinnati Bengals are gearing up for their Week 5 matchup against the Miami Dolphins, with their defensive players paying close attention to a specific aspect of quarterback Malik Willis' throwing technique. Reports indicate that Willis has a noticeable habit in his delivery that could aid Cincinnati in timing their coverage effectively.
Bengals safety Jordan Battle highlighted Willis' tendency to tap the ball before making a throw, which could serve as a signal for defenders to react. However, revealing this detail carries risks, as it may prompt Willis and the Dolphins to adjust their approach ahead of the game.
Despite their defensive struggles early in the season, the Bengals view this insight as a potential advantage. They have faced tougher quarterbacks so far, and Willis, with the lowest passing yards among quarterbacks who have played four games, presents a different challenge. Nonetheless, his mobility remains a concern for the Bengals, who must remain vigilant against his ability to extend plays and execute quarterback draws.
