"The new voice in the room grew up around questions like the big one of the Miami Dolphins offseason. Bobby's Slowik's dad, Bob, was a defensive coordinator for four NFL teams. His youngest brother, Steve, is now a San Francisco 49ers scout. The oldest brother, Ryan, learned to walk on Florida's football field and sits the other side of the office as a Miami Dolphins defensive back coach."
""Last year is a great example that it felt like, at the very least, there was a spike into shell (defenses) across the entire NFL that I think everyone's kind of going through the process of deciphering,'' Slowik said. The two-deep safety defense. The bogeyman. Is that the problem? The Dolphins faced the two-deep look on a league-high 53.1% of plays last year, according to Warren Sharp analytics. They couldn't master it when you look at the numbers."
Bobby Slowik joined the Dolphins as senior pass game coordinator to fix an offense that struggled to throw deep despite elite receivers. He comes from a coaching family: father Bob coordinated defenses for four NFL teams, brother Steve scouts for the 49ers, and brother Ryan coaches Dolphins defensive backs. The roster added guards James Daniels and Jonah Savaiinaea and interior running options, though rookie Ollie Gordon is the only healthy back among the new additions. The offense remains centered on quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, receiver Tyreek Hill, and Jaylen Waddle. The team faced a two-deep safety look on 53.1% of plays last year and produced only three touchdowns beyond the 20-yard line.
