STACKED’s take
Willis's 9 sacks in 2 games stem from scheme, decision-making, and line struggles.
Through two games, Willis has completed 29 of 50 passes for 417 yards, one touchdown and one interception while being sacked nine times. The Phinsider evaluates his struggles as multifaceted: offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik moved away from De'Von Achane in Week 1 forcing Willis to beat defenses through the air; Willis is trying to prove himself as a pocket passer and waiting for receivers to get open rather than escaping pressure; he is running out of bounds looking for receivers instead of throwing the ball away; and the offensive line has struggled significantly. Willis is in his fifth season with only eight career starts and remains inexperienced, but The Phinsider believes he will be fine as he grows into his role, though he must show significantly more over the remaining 15 games to prove he is the franchise quarterback Miami needs.
