An offensive coordinator's job is to make things easier for his players. That could be getting Chris Olave and the receiving corps the ball in space for run after the catch. For Derek Carr, that means making the game simple.

"One thing about this system it's very clear to me," Carr said. He understands when to make certain decisions as he goes through his progressions.

He reflected on a conversation he had Kubiak in practice that day. Carr had a question about timing within the offense. Kubiak told him, "I will tell you. Don't even worry about it. You just play."

Carr called the conversation freeing. It's a great example of how Kubiak leads the offense. This hasn't been the feeling within the offense over the past two seasons. It could be because it's new, but players seem to trust Kubiak's instruction more than in years' past.

Conversations like that develop trust between coordinator and player while building comfort in the player. Those two attributes go hand in hand. By Carr's tone, it's safe to assume he believes Kubiak is putting him in the correct positions and will follow as such.

There shouldn't be much second guessing himself or the decisions of the play caller. All of these factors will result in Carr and the offense operating faster. Now it's about execution. Playing fast is irrelevant if you're making wrong decisions quickly. The first test comes Sunday in Week 1's game with the Carolina Panthers.
