Miami Dolphins center Aaron Brewer broke down how majorly important it is that Bobby Slowik is now the offensive coordinator and how it will impact him in 2026.
The Miami Dolphins may have an entirely new coaching staff, but former pass game coordinator Bobby Slowik has remained with the organization and has been promoted to offensive coordinator. Slowik runs a similar scheme to that of former head coach Mike McDaniel, which can greatly benefit players who have been veterans in the scheme.
For Dolphins center Aaron Brewer, he broke down how "major" it is that he can continue his ascension in a scheme that he knows well.
Brewer joined "NFL Spotlight" with NFL insider Ari Meirov, where he spoke about his journey through the league and landing with the Dolphins. Following being recognized as one of the top linemen in the league, the All-Pro talked about how important it is that Slowik has remained with the team.
Meirov asked Brewer about what it means that the language of the offense will not change much under Slowik, which was met with strong words.
"That's major because as I said, like it's the same reps. So I'm like so familiar with the system and definitely if it's similar to the same system we was running with Mike like it just another year the same thing and something to it's great to build off of it. It's not it's not starting a completely new foundation new scheme of offense. So it's it's definitely beneficial on my side but also at the same time like you said like those are my strengths," Brewer said.
Brewer is pointing to the fact that he does not have to learn an entirely new scheme, which is the case when a new coaching staff is put into place. The All-Pro center made mention of evolving with the Dolphins, and pointed to just being able to get reps in.
"And so when I got to Miami, it was just I was just so happy at myself to be able to just stack two years of the same position and get the reps in to just really hone in on the technique, like hone in on my technique, hone in on things I like, different ways I want to do this, different approaches here, what's I'm comfortable with doing this, I'm uncomfortable with doing that. And so once I got to Miami, it was just being able to get the reps up again," Brewer said.
Brewer had only one season as a starting center with the Tennessee Titans, when the Dolphins came and signed him to a three-year, $21 million deal in 2024. That chance was met with the talent and drive to be the best, which has now led the veteran to an All-Pro nod and a Protector of the Year nomination as well.
The Dolphins have many questions on the roster in 2026, but Brewer remains one of the foundational players and sure things that can lead the team to be highly competitive. He is also a player that the team has expressed a need to ensure they get an extension together for.
Though there is no telling when that may happen, but Brewer's ascension with the Dolphins and the chance to be even better in the same offensive scheme could lead him to being recognized as the top linemen in the NFL.
