That's like a rhythmic thing.

That's an NFL speed thing.

And

I would say that sometimes his confidence is a little bit fake.

I don't really know how to phrase that short.

So the longer explanation is when the game's on the line, he starts to do some gunslinging stuff where he and like you think about that Broncos game where he threw into double coverage and

And like, I think the safety in the corner, like knocked each other out.
