Inspired by @stevenruiz.bsky.social talking about Caleb Williams's time to throw, I looked at what we can call Creation Time, which is the difference between time to pressure and time to throw when pressured, then plotted it against pressure to sack rate, per FTN.

the colts offense is going to consistently move the ball in the open field but they need those explosives in the run game to avoid the red zone. the pass game has been mediocre when the spacing's been tight
