McVay and Taylor came in and changed the culture for the Rams whereas Monken made the best of the bad Buccaneers situation to create a top offense, all while having similar weapons as the Bengals do now.

Bieniemy didn't even call the plays at KC, even though his predecessor did. And it makes you wonder why Reid did not relinquish play calling to him, but he did for Nagy.

As for why he called him Marvin Jr. I dunno. Hopefully, he means more just we'd be treading water with Bieniemy, and not their physical similarities...

That is actually incorrect, he has called the plays in the second half all year.

Reid did not want to give up control of play calling, however he came to the conclusion that he cannot break certain tendencies that he has done for his entire career.  So, he runs his scripted stuff then off of feel for the remainder of the first half.  After the break, he hands over the reigns to EB, which keeps the defense on their heels as they cannot base the second half off of first half tendencies, or typical Reid play calls based on situation.
