Say, you have 2 guys running speed outs on opposite sides of the field. Burrow's primary read is covered, so he goes to his second read on the other hash who is already out of his break and the CB is already starting to close the window. With WR's that lack burst and speed, there is a much bigger honus on the QB to get the ball out quickly when the receiver gets that initial separation before the window slams shut.
Higgins is faster than Shuster.
Our WRs would have better separation numbers if Burrow didn't float the deep ball. That gives the DBs time to close on the ball. That is what "slams the window shut".
