Williams' command of Johnson's offense vastly improved in Year 2; team operating at higher level than Year 1.
Williams is demonstrating significantly improved command of Ben Johnson's offense in Year 2, with the quarterback room operating far more smoothly than in training camp Year 1, which was described as 'very choppy and borderline bad early on.' Williams and fellow quarterbacks are breaking the huddle more smoothly, spitting out play calls earlier, and spending far less time on scheme fundamentals; playbook wrinkles are now the focus rather than Scheme 101. Offensive coordinator Press Taylor noted that towards the end of Year 1, Williams showed early grasp of cadence with a couple free plays, and now the team is mixing in more free plays in practice. Taylor stated: 'It's like, Man, we could never operate at that level [a year ago].' This reflects Williams' growth and comfort level in the system.
