Thomas Brown on Rrestricting Caleb Williams.mp4

Bears interim coach Thomas Brown discusses the restrictions placed on Caleb Williams with audibles and calling timeouts.

Transcript

00:00Very little, so most of it is based off of being able to have it built into a particular

00:11call or being able to have an alerted play like I just talked about before with the be

00:14a run to run, run to pass, run to play action pass, run to keep or vice versa.

00:19Obviously from a third down standpoint it's a lot more pure progression, less of coverage

00:25base reach, not a lot of man versus zone alerts to kind of be able to alleviate some

00:29stress off of him.

00:30So this is stuff that kind of shows up in the game when it comes to possible zero pressure

00:34where he has some flexibility to kind of get in and out of certain plays.

00:37But for the most part, not a whole lot.

00:40Yeah, kind of to the response of a couple of previous questions when it comes to what

00:44he has control over, what he doesn't have control over, when he breaks the huddle, my

00:49goal has been to try to figure out ways to take pressure off of him and make the game

00:53simpler for him.

00:54So when it comes to timeouts, I'll control those.

00:56I would say pre-snap mechanics when it comes to understanding potential pressure threats,

01:01but also mastery of what happens post-snap, obviously having a reaction of how they played

01:05out coverage-wise, what pressures they bring, but also understanding where all my quick

01:08element throws are if we have an opportunity for that.

01:11I think at times as well, understanding how to maintain proper pocket integrity.

01:16So being able to hitch in place and not run yourself into a potential sack, but it's all

01:21a level problem.

01:23Yeah.

01:24Yeah.

01:25Yeah.

01:26Yeah.
