From the episode

I thought Zay Flowers was unbelievable. He was awesome in this game and it's, it's stuff you're talking about. And obviously, and what was cool. And I think beyond the way that he played, it is so clear that Declan Doyle thinks he's a special player.

Zay Flowers is a focal point of the offense with clear chemistry with Lamar

Zay Flowers was 'unbelievable' and clearly a focal point of the offense, with the coaching staff constructing plays specifically to weaponize his skills. He showed great chemistry with Lamar Jackson, including a touchdown catch out of the backfield and an ability to find voids in zone coverage.
