I'm not sure they will let him go off by himself on a break unless he looses another 10-15 minutes or so. Also, he might be to too banged up to try it until after the second rest period. If he does decide to go off on a break it will have to be a serious attack or very tactfully done. Another option RS could send four guys out early on a break and leave the rest to help Levi. Either they get away or they shatter the rest of the field.
