00:00Is that's the bears playing him in the way they did showing that he can hit all three

00:06levels of throws while moving in order to kind of get him into what is his comfort zone.

00:14Do you see what I'm saying?

00:15Well, his comfort zone is outside the pocket.

00:18And that's why everyone sees this high level potential for him.

00:21Because when you are good at what is not your best trait, all of a sudden you become really

00:27hard to defend.

00:28So if teams make him stay inside the pocket and you're able to win from inside there,

00:31well now what do you do?

00:33And that's what makes you the ultimate weapon offensively.

00:36I think forever, till the end of his NFL career, his ability to get off script and make plays

00:41on the move and throw that deep ball with incredible touch and accuracy.

00:48As you mentioned, all three levels of the field while on the move is going to be the

00:51superpower.

00:52And now it's just like, okay, so what do you have when they try to take your superpower

00:55away?

00:56Well, you have a gift, which is the ability to stand inside the pocket and make throws.

01:00It's funny because on Monday morning, when I went back through the Bengals game, two

01:03of the throws that I started is like, yeah, that's what it's supposed to look like from

01:06NFL quarterback was a nine yard completion to Cole come out, hit the top of your drop,

01:10rip it, throw it, completion, just take the nine and get onto the next play.

01:13And then 11 yard or later in the game to Simba Webster, similar thing.

01:17And then Shane Waldron brought those up unprompted in his sort of introductory overview of how

01:23he thought Caleb played on Saturday afternoon.

01:26So those are examples of a guy who understands the clock, who understands the need to take

01:31completions that are right there for you and not to try to make them take too long.

01:36Just be quick, process it, see it, throw it, rip it, take the yards and get onto the next

01:39play.

01:41If Caleb is able to do that, even at a medium level as a rookie, the offense starts to see

01:46its potential rise.
