From the episode
He is drinking through a fire hose here trying to learn that information and become the guy that can master protections... he's like, I've never seen this shit before in my life... he never saw that in college... it's possible that was the source of the accuracy issues is if he was looking at stuff that he wasn't quite confident in post snap based on what he saw pre snap.
STACKED’s take
NeutralRole
Levis still learning pre-snap protections; accuracy tied to pre-snap confidence.
Levis is still learning how to master pre-snap protections and read defensive looks in the NFL; he was unfamiliar with basic defensive concepts like zero blitz with double mugs and sim pressure that he never encountered in college. The source notes he's 'drinking through a fire hose' trying to learn this information, and his accuracy issues may stem from rushing himself post-snap when he lacks confidence in his pre-snap reads. With more experience and help from veteran center Slotman, the source hopes he'll improve at the pre-snap level so post-snap execution becomes less of an adventure.
