Dolphins have been competitive despite 0-5 start but aim for better execution after bye

Malik Willis expressed disappointment following the Dolphins' recent 0-5 start in the NFL season. Despite the tough early schedule, the team managed to come back from a 18-point deficit in the fourth quarter against the Cincinnati Bengals, but ultimately fell short. The Dolphins' offense struggled throughout the game, with Willis throwing two interceptions and losing a fumble.

The team's youthful roster, with 14 rookies playing in the first five games, has been a challenge to bring together and execute effectively. General manager Jon-Eric Sullivan has emphasized the importance of developing these young players, and rookie linebacker Jacob Rodriguez and cornerback Chris Johnson have already made significant contributions.

The Dolphins' upcoming schedule includes tough divisional games against the Jets, New England, and Buffalo, providing an opportunity for the team to improve its execution during its bye week.
