I haven't seen a whole lot of stumbling blocks in terms of the under center work.

It's for some guys, it just feels like a fish out of water, but I have not felt that from him.

Spend Johnson talking about the changes in mechanics for Caleb Williams.

He's now taking a lot of snaps under center.

And that is a big deal for the offense that Ben Johnson wants to run,

and it's a big bit of learning for Caleb.

And part of what's given me this kind of wave of optimism,

you saw it hit me yesterday, Lawrence,

as we listened to some of this tape,

which was Caleb with Stacey

Dales and Brian Baldinger in the NFL network about his work under center so far in camp.

I actually enjoy Bioner because it, one, to mess with the defense, and then two, it gives

me more ability to take a couple shots, which is always fun. So you draw the defense in. We run the ball well, and that starts up front. It also starts with me and my communication and getting the guys going and my cadence and things like that. But, you know, the guys up front, it always starts with them. It's always going to end with them. And so, you know, getting off the ball, showing like it's run.

Everything looks the same. Everything looks like it's a run, run, run, run. Play action. Everything looks like run, run, run, run. Keeper, everything looks like run, run, it is a run. So now you're getting these big plays and tying the defense out and doing all these different things. and it's like, oh, now you got a shot and you take it.

And, you know, when you don't have the shot,

protect the football, take your checkdowns and move on to-

No. tying the defense out and doing all these different things and it's like oh now you got a shot and you take it and you know when you don't have the shot protect the football take your checkdowns and move on to the football i feel like in this league last year can we saw so much too high shell across the league it was hard to take shots yep like they were taking it away from it but the way that you get them out of it is to run it run the ball you run them out of it yep you know so i think, always think, you know, D'Andre, Roshan, like these guys, they don't mind being eight yards deep.

Nope.

And take, them out of it is to run it. Run the ball. You run them out of it. So I think always think, you know, DeAndre, Roshan, like these guys, they don't mind being eight yards deep. Nope. And taking it like that. They, rather than just being a point of entry back in a shotgun situation. No, they've, they've been great. So it's him understanding why and realizing what he can get out of it and like being excited about the whole process and digging it.

I just, I love his understanding and the quickness with which his brain is starting to work on this stuff.

Well, we hope that that's the case.

Him wanting to be, him being a willing participant is a big deal.
