I know they stop the ability to transmit into the helmet at some point, but it has to start at some point after the end of the previous play.
The head coach is communicating with his coaches in the booth too, and that is two-way communication. My bet is that the head coach was saying not to use the last timeout because they would need it and that message was received by Williams.
I don't think Williams is anywhere close to being a "great" QB right now, but I can't place blame for this on anyone but the coach.

Flus is a terrible coach and I don’t think anyone is disputing that and that he predictably handled it terribly. Everyone knows he should have been gone long ago so this is expected. Caleb on the other hand will be there next year. He had multiple ways he could have overcome flus’ stupidity by not doing stupid things himself. His presser reads to me like a guy who wants to act like he’s a great coachable player who doesn’t undermine his coaches while at the same time throwing them under the bus.
