One week after turning every charting dial down, Miami put a man in motion on 53 of 75 charted plays and ran screens on 5 of 28 dropbacks, both the highest rates of Week 2, while the quarterback and the run game stayed under last season's marks: 65 percent catchable, two sacks charted on the passer again, and 3.5 yards per designed run despite lighter boxes.

The charting from Las Vegas says 15 of Malik Willis's 27 throws were catchable, 56 percent, 29th of 32 offenses in Week 1 against 72 percent for this offense across all of last season, with play-action on 5 of 37 dropbacks — half last year's rate — while Miami's defense showed the Raiders a light box on 3 of 33 designed runs, the heaviest treatment any run game got this week.

Miami claimed seven players off waivers on Monday and signed an eighth, then cut eight men off the 53 it had set twenty-four hours earlier to fit them — a quarterback, two tackles, three defensive backs, a tight end and an edge rusher in; Clelin Ferrell and a seventh-round pick among those out. The eight-defensive-back roster our last episode flagged became nine within a day. The perfect draft-class slate lasted one day too.

Miami rebuilt the entire quarterback room behind Malik Willis across cutdown weekend: Quinn Ewers traded to Jacksonville, Cam Miller and Mark Gronowski waived, and Kyle McCord acquired from Green Bay. The beat's shock was elsewhere — linebacker Tyrel Dodson released two days after a six-tackle finale — and the initial 53 carries just eight corners and safeties combined, per one beat accounting.

Malik Willis went 12 of 20 and absorbed seven sacks in a joint practice against the Giants that came with six fights and a benching, then sat out Saturday's 26-3 loss entirely. With Quinn Ewers down with a groin injury, Cam Miller started a game Miami finished with three points — and the front office has worked out quarterbacks without yet signing one.

One live series, 14 plays, a touchdown, and the pocket-only restriction lifted on schedule — Willis's audition produced exactly the film it needed. Behind him, the backups completed 4 of 19 with three interceptions, and the front office may go shopping for a veteran.

The audition is producing real film: arm talent the beat keeps noticing, defenders talking about the conflict he creates — and a coaching staff deliberately caging the legs to force the pocket answer. The 45-million-dollar information purchase is gathering information on schedule.
