Miami Dolphins' offensive strategy expected to change under new coordinator
Summary

The Miami Dolphins are set to alter their offensive strategy starting in 2026 as they transition from Mike McDaniel to new offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik. Key changes are anticipated in three areas: under-center rate, time to throw, and 12 personnel usage. The Dolphins previously relied heavily on shotgun formations, but reports suggest a move towards a more balanced approach. Malik Willis, the new quarterback, has a longer average time to throw compared to former quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, impacting execution in the passing game. A shift in personnel groupings is also expected, following trends observed in Slowik's previous roles.
