The Phinsider on Malik Willis

Willis showed competitive style but execution issues; Slowik cites multiple sack factors and scheme learning curve.

Offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik assessed Willis's Week 1 performance as competitive in style and effort but plagued by execution breakdowns across run game, pass game, protection, and route assignments. Slowik emphasized multiple factors contributed to five sacks—poor play calls, protection breakdowns, and ball security issues—and noted the offense has young and new players learning the system who need to improve quickly. Willis himself rejected the concept of an internal clock, stating he focuses on reading coverage and trusting his receivers and offensive line rather than working off a predetermined timing mechanism.
