[Chase Daniel] – The One Thing Caleb Williams NEEDS To Fix – Bears Training Camp Breakdown

  1. You know, Chase does good analysis. But I absolutely refuse to click on these click bait titled videos.

  2. Tldr Caleb needs to throw the ball away when under pressure and not panic and throw a potential pick or hold onto it.

    Like duh? Also he has so many other things he could improve on from last season. Hopefully he does.

  3. Dang, I watched the whole video and he never actually said the “One thing Caleb Williams NEEDS to fix.” He just broke down some of the training camp videos we’ve seen. It’s thin, thin content but what else do we have until September?

    On the Loveland throw, Williams has already had that kind of anticipation if, and only if, what he sees is what he expected on his pre-snap read. Which is fine, as he matures and gets experience, they just need to get him being comfortable with what he sees on a higher percentage of plays.

    On the blitz where he should have thrown it away, I just come away from that play yet again mad that we didn’t make a better effort to replace Swift as our RB1 in the offseason. No one gets to do their job that play because he completely fails to do his and ole’s the blitz pickup. Just like the play in the fan fest video where the offensive line does a nice job creating a running hole to the right side, but Swift inexplicably reads it to the left and runs straight into the DT for a safety. We don’t need him as a pass-catching specialist back when we already have too many mouths to feed on offense and Burden or Moore are just as explosive, and his kinda-ok YPC isn’t worth the constant mistakes and missed reads. This offense desperately needs a guy who can pick up the blitz and run through the right hole for 4 yards on first down.

    OK, so, to answer the question “what’s the ONE THING Caleb Williams NEEDS to fix,” imo it’s internal pocket clock. It needs to be 1-2-3 and if the ball’s not out of his hands, he needs to escape. He’s way too confident in his ability to extend the play in the pocket by hopping around and doing miracle dodges, which looks cool af when he gets away with it but isn’t worth taking 4 sacks a game over.
