From the article

Malik Willis was… ok. I don't think he played poorly overall, but there were some issues that need to be addressed... He is going to hold the ball longer than we have seen under the previous regime... Willis also provides the rushing element that Miami has never truly had.

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Willis was okay but took sacks due to his longer-hold style; game script spiraled.

Willis, the rookie QB, played 56 snaps (about 10% of his career total). The source says he was 'ok' overall and didn't play poorly, but took some bad sacks. The source attributes some sacks to poor blocking and credits Raiders edge rushers (Crosby, Paye, Koonce) but notes Willis will inherently take more sacks than his predecessor due to his playing style of holding the ball longer. The source credits him with providing a rushing element Miami hasn't had and making some good throws, though game script got away from him and he tried some hero ball.
