If this was a case of Joe changing the play all I am saying is that as the HC, Zac has the prerogative to pre empt overrides in certain, critical situations, and should absolutely exercise it. This was one of them. Should woulda coulda, but I want him to learn from this.
Like I said, in the moment the first deep strike I was like WTF, OK then didnt pan out. The second was beyond the pale. I’m not pretending to know the intricacies of their interactions other than what we’re seeing from highlights showing callahan in the booth. But, dammit, the buck stops somewhere, and on game day it stops at Zac.
We fans will never be 100% happy. Im old enough to remember when we all complained that Zac took the ball out of Burrow's hands in Baltimore at the goal line and before that vs the 49ers at the end of the game a couple years ago. Now we are upset because "Zac has the prerogative to pre empt overrides in certain, critical situations, and should absolutely exercise it."
I don't see Zac pushing more preemptions with Joe, in fact Im guessing the exact opposite and that Joe will have even more freedom.
