There's an obvious way to help Will Levis grow and Brian Callahan can easily make it happen

Playing quarterback in the NFL is the hardest job in sports. So much is demanded from the position and it requires so much attention to detail and subsequent processing within literally just a few seconds it'll make your head spin.

That's why it's imperative for coaches to make life as easy as possible on their guys. There are plenty of coaches who do that, too. Andy Reid, Sean McVay, Kyle Shanahan, Mike McDaniel are a few of the more popular/more successful names and it's hard to argue against their process.

One way to help is as simple as it gets: pre-snap motion. It's no surprise that last year's top offenses were also the ones that used pre-snap motion the most.

If you're unfamiliar with the term, pre-snap motion is when you see a guy run from one side of the field to the other and reset at the line of scrimmage before the snap. What this does is tip the offense in favor of man or zone coverage (during a pass play obviously), or, it moves/adds a blocker on a run call.

The former is where it really comes in handy, though. Having a sense of man or zone coverage leads to a completely different process for quarterbacks and it gives them a head start. Granted, more and more defenses are figuring out ways to adjust to motion without tipping their hand, but defenses will never be able to fully counter offenses, so to speak.

You know where this is going, by now. Using motion for Will Levis would be a great way to further his development in Year 2 by making things easier on him. He's already on his second offense in as many years, so it's already an uphill climb. Why not take the incline down a couple notches, if you can?

The good news is new Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan was part of a Cincinnati Bengals staff that adjusted and utilized a lot of motion to make Jake Browning's life easier once Joe Burrow went down with his wrist injury. Per Sports Info Solutions, 38.9% of Burrow's pass attempts came after pre-snap motion and the team ran motion on 48.2% of its plays, as a whole.

When Browning entered the picture - half of his pass attempts came after pre-snap motion. It makes sense why the number jumped as high as it did. Browning is nowhere near as experienced as Burrow, to the Bengals had to make things easier for him. And it worked.

In contrast, the Titans utilized motion on 41.1% of total plays (26th), per ESPN Stats & Info, and on just 29% of Levis' pass attempts, per SIS. 

"Part of what fosters a great quarterback room is the communication between myself, the coordinator, quarterbacks coach, and the quarterbacks in the room, is knowing what they like and what they do well," Callahan said during his introductory press conference. "We try to do as much of that as possible. So, if a quarterback says, 'I don't like something,' we're not going to use it, we're not going to call it. And that to me is the most critical part.

"If you have great feedback, and great rapport and a great relationship with those guys, they'll do a great job of giving you the information you need to help them and put them in position to be successful."

From Weeks 8-15, Levis completed 64.9% of his passes for 528 yards, four touchdowns and one interception when using pre-snap motion. His QB rating of 98.3 ranked 15th out of 32 qualifying quarterbacks with at least 55 attempts in this context. That was off 74 attempts, which tied for eighth-lowest out of the aforementioned teams.

Out of those eight players, Levis' four touchdowns tied for first and his yardage only fell short of Desmond Ridder's (547 yards) and, yep, Browning's total (778). And that was behind the Titans' putrid offensive line.

Frankly, this is common sense, but for some reason there are teams that don't use it as much as they should. The good news is the Titans aren't one of those teams and Callahan is sensible enough to where he'll do whatever is needed in order to make Levis successful.
