0:00.0	Howdy, I'm Ben Solack. This is the play sheet. So weekly episode we do comes out on Wednesdays on the Ringer NFL feed and it is a video pod. We're breaking down some Will Levis film today. So open your Spotify app, click into the episode, watch the video, see the plays, enjoy the show.
0:18.7	The opening script, Will Le us to go, baby.
0:21.8	It's been a great year for rookie quarterbacks. We've had week one starters and C.J.
0:25.6	Stroud, Bryce Young. We've done videos on both of those guys. We would have done a video on
0:29.0	Anthony Richardson too, because he was sick, but then he got injured if we couldn't do it.
0:32.5	We've seen Dorian Thompson play. We've seen A and O'Connell play. And now we have finally the fourth of
0:37.7	the four quarterbacks. There were big names entering the pre-draft process, Will Levis. And what did
0:42.9	they view? Levis threw for four touchdowns in his first career start. He has to leave the second

1:22.1	and the titans hadn't done that since 2021 so something here worked and to find out what worked
1:26.9	we're going to play action.
1:29.8	The number one thing that Will Levis showed in this win against the Falcons was his arm talent.
1:33.8	And he has just oodles. He has heaps, heaps of arm talent. And this was something that we talked
1:39.2	about in our pre-draft scouting video on Will Levis. We did for the play sheet. Roll a clip.
1:43.6	Levis is an easy and explosive thrower of the football.
1:47.2	And if you've been watching all of our episodes on the quarterbacks from earlier this week,
