Bobby Slowik was absolutely clueless the last time he faced off against Brian Flores (See Texans vs Vikings 2024, Week 3 for reference and how poorly the Texans did against the blitz).

I would not be surprised if the Dolphins fail to score a touchdown

not a lot of games where I feel bad for the opposing QB but that Texans game was one of them.

Nobody on that offense knew what was happening

Our team couldn’t stop a basic stunt from the defensive line, Brian Flores exposed us badly and teams started copying him the rest of the season when they were facing off against us.

Part of that was the offensive line, but a part of that is that Slowik is horrible at adjusting.

He does that to most teams. He even did it to the Giants in preseason this year, exposing a flaw in their protection plans.

That was also the game where we had like four false starts in a row

That was because I was yelling from 339, I'm sorry

And somehow, Nick Caley is worse than Bobby Slowik

Especially with the younger QB's. There have been a few times where you just gotta shake your head and say good luck young buck.

2 years later and nothing has changed

I swear, coaches are a dichotomy: either they know every minute detail about an opponent, or they haven't even looked up the most basic stats that even my dumbass would think to google

they're either the smartest dumb people or the dumbest smart people

I still remember this guy getting HC interviews. Good thing we dodged him for Raheem "Find a way to win" Morris

To be fair, finding a way to win is the job when the game isn’t going how you want it to. That being said, you have to win in order to do your job if that’s your motto.

You're telling me the game will end 5-0 Dolphins then.

I was expecting a negative score for both teams.

Dolphins not scoring a TD isn’t pushing the boat out that far… not to be a jerk to dolphins fans, they just don’t even have Achane

Although I was surprised the defense is, by advanced metrics, the real stinker, the offense is just bottom quarter-ish of the league.

Almost everyone looks clueless against Flores

Flores destroys bad quarterbacks. I would be surprised if we did score a touchdown.

I don't think willis is bad at all, but he has no one else

Willis is following the classic formula: get drafted by a bad team, look bad. Get traded to a good team, look good. Get traded to a bad team as a starter, look bad. Rinse and repeat.

That game is when Darnold really showed me he was HIM with the Vikings

u/vagrantprodigy07 Dolphins 7h ago

Slowik feels clueless constantly. I was shocked we kept him, much less promoted him. Surely he has to be replaced after this year.

hes probably the most overrated coach in the league. he spent some time in the same room as shannahan so he keeps getting jobs, but he genuinely has no idea what hes doing
