And we assume that he doesn't want to hit.

We know you don't want him to get hit.

So we're going to try to make this play take as long as possible because if you extend the play and like, I haven't talked to, to the, the bills coaching staff, but when I'm watching that tape, that's what I'm thinking is they're like,

Please, the more times we make you do this, the more likely you're going to make a mistake.

So whether it's make you check down or make you try to squeeze it into a zone deep down the field or hold you or keep the coverage so long that you have to flush out of the pocket and create something on your own, either run or throw in a run, you are going to make a mistake.

And Tua actually made fewer mistakes last night than I think the Bills expected him to, but the defense couldn't hold up.

Yeah, I mean, I think that's what they're hoping for.

They're daring him like, all right, you need a big chunk sooner or later.

That's one of the things explosive plays are really important to winning.

You're going to need a big chunk.

Do you have the arm strength and accuracy and faith, honestly, to let it rip down a field into this tight zone multiple times a game?

If you don't, then you're gonna have to roll out to force us to distort our zone.

And we know, and no one would say this publicly, but in a football game, we know what you don't want as far as injury is concerned.

And I think the opponents know that no one wants Tua to get hit.

They don't want Tua running the ball, even though for whatever reason they do these zone reads where I'm like, there's no way you're actually going to let this man keep it on his own.

Are you like the backside in should not respect that zone read.

But I think that's what they're thinking is like, let's put Tua in a position that he's uncomfortable.

And even if it's not about exposing him to more hits, it's also like he's not great in that outer structure.

So like we're going to force you to do what you don't want.

Yeah, so I think time to throw is one of those tricky ones that people assume means that your O-line is protecting you well, which I guess it could, but it also does mean that you are not playing within structure or you're not comfortable.
