If it’s Fields or Wooldridge taking over, then we better hope that option and quick read is there and executed. Those two won’t make so many escapes.

Levi had this 6th sense about him. There were times I swore he had eyes behind his head. He had a great ability to sense the blind side rush coming and escaping.

well as long as fields doesn't do a 180 spin and try to run backwards in the pocket he should have enough speed to make something out of a broken play.
