Bobby Slowik Highlights Malik Willis' Development and Young Talent at Dolphins Training Camp
Bobby Slowik, the offensive coordinator for the Miami Dolphins, expressed his admiration for quarterback Malik Willis during a recent media session. He noted Willis' impressive physical skills and dedication to mastering the team's offense, highlighting his commitment to studying film and building rapport with teammates.
Slowik emphasized the importance of Willis developing as a pocket passer, despite his athleticism. The coaching staff aims for him to focus on making throws under pressure rather than scrambling immediately. He acknowledged that while there are moments when they wish Willis would run, learning to succeed from the pocket is crucial for his growth.
In addition to Willis, Slowik praised second-year receiver Malik Washington for his improved route running and work habits, which he believes will enhance Washington's impact in the offense. Rookie receiver Caleb Douglas also received positive feedback for his adaptability and physical attributes, although he is still refining his skills. Slowik mentioned that Miami's use of pre-snap motion is designed to create advantageous matchups, and noted that Willis is comfortable with this approach due to his prior experiences.
