Dolphins’ Zach Wilson Adjusts to Anticipation-Focused Offense at Minicamp

Coaches have flagged his late throws to teach him how to anticipate routes in Miami’s offense.

Overview

  • Miami signed Wilson in March as Tua Tagovailoa’s backup quarterback, and his development has taken on added importance due to Tagovailoa’s injury history.
  • During mandatory minicamp, Dolphins coaches identified a tendency in Wilson to release throws late and began emphasizing timing by throwing into space.
  • Wilson acknowledged that anticipation-based passing is new to his game and said he must trust Miami’s speed receivers to hit their landmarks.
  • Media-open practice sessions produced mixed outcomes, with Wilson connecting on downfield passes but also throwing multiple interceptions, including a pick-six.
  • Head coach Mike McDaniel and his staff remain optimistic about Wilson’s raw arm talent and believe he can adapt to the offense before the 2025 season.
