I think Willis, for whatever reason, is trying to be a pocket passer and prove he can hold on to the Dolphins' starting position.

Willis forcing pocket passer role; needs to run instinctually and throw away.

Willis is attempting to play as a pocket passer to prove he can hold the Dolphins' starting position, standing tall and waiting for receivers to come open longer than he should. He needs to play instinctually—running when feeling pressure and getting out of the pocket—and must learn to throw the ball away instead of taking sacks; he ran himself out of bounds multiple times last week rather than throwing incomplete passes. The source expects more RPO play calling this week, but emphasizes the offense should run through De'Von Achane, with Willis keeping the ball instead of handing it off taking touches away from the runner.
