The Phinsider on Malik Willis
From the article
The Chiefs do not have a premier edge rusher...The Dolphins have faced the likes of Maxx Crosby and Bosa and now get a less prominent group...A poorly timed blitz could get Willis out on the edge and into the secondary before they know it.
STACKED’s take
Willis faces a weaker Chiefs pass rush than elite edge rushers he's already seen.
Willis faces a Chiefs pass rush that is significantly less threatening than the elite edge rushers Miami has already encountered; the Chiefs have only 3 sacks on the season with 2 from the edge group, compared to the premier pass rushers like Nick Bosa and Maxx Crosby that Willis has already faced. The 49ers held Willis to only 2 sacks despite having Bosa, whereas the Chiefs' edge group (George Karlaftis III with 30.5 career sacks, Felix Anudike-Uzomah with 4 career sacks, Ashton Gillotte with 1.5 career sacks, and R. Mason Thomas with 1 sack) has not proven to be the same caliber of threat. Additionally, Willis' scrambling ability gives him an edge against the Chiefs' 39.4% blitz rate (5th in league), as a poorly timed blitz could allow Willis to escape to the edge and secondary; the source notes Willis possesses rushing ability that the two QBs the Chiefs have faced this season do not have.
