| 0:00.0 | So how do you then accomplish that? And that comes to Sam getting the ball out of his |
| 0:07.4 | hands faster. And I made this point yesterday on the radio and I'm going to make it again |
| 0:11.6 | here because I would like for you to expand on it because you can probably speak to |
| 0:15.7 | it better than I can. But we say Sam, Sam needs to get the ball out of his hands faster. |
| 0:19.8 | And people say like that's it. Like if he can just mentally make that switch, then |
| 0:25.9 | oh, okay, the ball's out now. If Sam saw where the ball should go faster, it would be out of |
| 0:31.2 | his hand. It's not as simple as just being like, oh, I got to speed up my mental clock. He's got |
| 0:35.8 | to actually see the game faster. He's got to whether it is understanding where the open guy is |
| 0:42.7 | or going through his progressions faster. Don't stay on your first read as long. Don't stay on |
| 0:47.6 | your second read as long. Be able to read what coverage you're in and realize what stuff is dead |

| 1:09.4 | going to mean processing pre snap that a lot of stuff is dead based off the look you're going to |
| 1:15.2 | get and getting the ball to the underneath guys quicker. And that ultimately can accomplish that |
| 1:21.0 | same goal of pulling up those second level defenders. And they start to sit on it. And that's |
| 1:26.3 | when you can hit something over the top because they get a little bit lazy with their discipline |
| 1:29.9 | because they're just anticipating you checking the ball down. So that there's value in these quick |
| 1:34.8 | early throws like you were talking about with Matt Ryan. Sometimes he predetermined the flat |
| 1:39.1 | because he just knew based off the look, he's like, well, the deeper stuff that I want's not |
| 1:42.8 | there. So let's get the ball to to Logan faster in the flat and give him a little bit more space |
| 1:47.5 | to rumble like there's there's things like that that I think is the the learning progression for |
