I would tell you, number one, stop creating problems for yourself.

He's absolutely done that.

Now, it took till about October for that to present itself.

What do I mean by that?

Like a lot of times leaving the clean pocket just because you're an athletic, a lot of times trying to force the ball downfield on first and 20 in a small window because you don't like to check down or the shorter throw in front of you.

on third down you know instead of trusting the progression or trusting the matchup trying to think or believing i'm the best athlete on the field or one of them let me go run and make a play so he's creating less problems for himself number one number two he's playing more consistently in structure

Is it flawless?

No.

There are not a lot of guys in the league that are.

But he's more in structure.

He's playing more in rhythm and timing.

You see more options where he's underneath the center, play fake, whether it's a play action or a drop back, and it's like, hey, ball's out, first pitch.

Ball's out, first pitch.

And so I think his growth and development in the play action game

The third thing is holding onto the football much less in the confines of the play.

Is he holding on the ball at times long?

Yes, but that's because

There's a pressure.

He evades them.

He's climbing the pocket and getting outside.
