It's a good comparison. There are athletes who hate practicing but are gamers. This is true in acting and singing too. Sometimes a performer is a performer. Sad thing is many don't get the opportunity because most people in charge want to see performance level at practice/rehearsal. I was a pro actor and always hated rehearsals. I learned my lines (playbook) way before the first read (practice). I got my blocking (walkthroughs) down the first rehearsal (practice). I realized I was rehearsing so that my fellow cast members (players) would be able to practice with me. It was still boring to me, but I did it so that the cast/team would shine on opening night first game).
The big difference is that in acting or singing with the NFL is you don't have a 300 pound killer trying to break you in half. And there's degrees to that defensive pressure. Some weeks the other team won't have the necessary horses to keep up and you'll roll. Other weeks you face top pros and you try to scratch out points any way you can. That's why I brought up the fact that Wolf was facing the Texans' defensive starters. Their 11 best. Perkins was playing against guys who won't make their team. It's really hard to compare. McVay said there is layers to such an evaluation. I guess they can mathematically adjust to get a fair comp. We just see the game as it's played.
