I believe there will be less pre-snap movement with first-year coordinator Bobby Slowik. Look, Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle aren't walking through that door. It's a different offense. Let's hope Miami can be more physical and more aggressive and tougher.

The Dolphins fired McDaniel, released Tagovailoa and Tyreek Hill and traded Jaylen Waddle. New coach Jeff Hafley, who served as defensive coordinator in Green Bay, retained the services of Slowik, who assisted McDaniel last season but didn’t call plays. Slowik draws the task of maximizing the skills of new quarterback Willis, who shined in relief duty for Green Bay and, despite having never served as a full-time starter, inked a three-year, $67.5 million deal with Miami. Slowik has worked with young quarterbacks and had some success in Year 1 with C.J. Stroud in Houston, but he struggled to adjust to defenses in Year 2 and then received his walking papers. Slowik has similar philosophies to Matt LaFleur, so that should help Willis, but playmakers are limited, so the coach will have to work extra hard to position his quarterback for success.
