Yeah. OK. All right. I mean, I think adaptable like I always just some offensive ones right away. I always I'm like, hey, Sean McVay, he's going to go in at halftime and he's going to crack the code and go, this is what they're doing. We got it figured out. We're going to start going to this place here. And all of a sudden you go, man, they didn't do anything in the first or second quarter.

And all of a sudden you're like, what? This is a different team. Kevin O'Connell certainly has a little bit of that as well, where he can go, oh, wait, they're playing us this way. Let me adjust and go from there. That would be one. Ben Johnson and the Lions, they have that as well. I think a lot of the offensive play callers that way, as far as the special ones are concerned, can do that.

Defensively, Tomlin can do that at times. I thought they were a little late to adjust the other day, like you said. Like, okay, hey, Lamar's going to run the ball here today. You're not going to be right, and you can't defend this defense and go, oh, we're going to be in the right gap on every play.

Like, tell me how you're going to be able to do some of that stuff when it's like, hey, whoa, one receiver goes this way, he fakes it to Derrick Henry, and then two pullers go the other way with Lamar Jackson. Like, you're going to be short of people in gaps there. You've got to force the issue with some of these awesome offenses sometimes.

You've got to do some things that are unforeseen, that they go, whoa โ I don't know how we block this or whatever. It might be a little risky in the defense, but you got to take some tactical gambles. And I thought they were a little late to do that. They didn't start doing that stuff until the third quarter the other day, and that was a little disappointing.

But I think those are the ones that jump out to me as far as the ones that make changes pretty quickly in a football game. And then Steve Spagnuolo and Andy Reid. How could I not say them? They are as good as it gets in that department, right? And that would be the ones that jump out to me, Brian.

Well, I'm with you there. I'm glad you're bringing this up. I actually brought this up before today because Josh Allen gets talked about like he's the worst playoff quarterback I've ever seen. And I want to go, his statistics are like the greatest of all time. Like, what are you talking about? Just because his team can't beat one of the greatest teams we've ever seen in history, the Chiefs, right?
