Coach Thomas Brown sheds light on why Caleb Williams has limited freedom to change plays at the line of scrimmage, affecting the Bears' offensive performance.
If Caleb Williams is yelling 'Omaha,' then he's probably planning a trip to Nebraska because he's not allowed to change plays at the line of scrimmage in the classical sense Peyton Manning did when he was hollering this before plays. If you've been looking for an explanation over how the Bears can waste so much time or Caleb Williams gets to the line of scrimmage and is perplexed, coach Thomas Brown may have provided it.
'Very little,' Brown said about Williams' flexibility at the line of scrimmage. 'So most of it is based off of being able to have it built into a particular call or being able to have an alerted play like, I just talked about before whether it be a run to run, run to pass, run to play-action pass, run to keeper or vice versa. 'Obviously, from a third-down standpoint there's a lot more pure progression less of coverage-based reads. Not a lot of man vs. zone alerts, to kind of be able to alleviate some stress off of him. It's the stuff that kind of shows up in the game when it comes to possible zero pressure when he has some flexibility to kind of get in and out of certain plays but for the most part, not a whole lot.' This explains a lot about why the Bears have trouble right before snapping it and very late in games. It also can have something to do with why they have so many sacks, because there is only so much Williams can do to escape certain defensive looks. Caleb Williams : 16/28 for 122 yards, INT & a 53 QB Rating; 5 carries for 37 yards (Sacked 7 times. Hit 10 times. Sacked a league-high 67 times this season)Williams also doesn't have the ability to call timeouts, as he expressed after the debacle in Detroit. It's all linked, Brown says. 'Kind of to the response of a couple of previous questions when it comes to what he has control over, what he doesn’t have control over when he breaks the huddle, mygoal is to be able to try to figure out ways to take pressure off of him and make the game simple for him,' Brown sai
