Another thing that isn't unique? The situation itself. In fact, Smith himself has gone through it before -- not without some bumps along the way. "When I was in Tennessee," he recounted, "we did this with Norm Chow -- he was in the press box, Craig Johnson called plays -- and there were startup costs to that. There really was. There were the delay of game.... So that's natural. That's gonna happen. It can't be helped."

That's where the head coach being on the headset can be an especially good thing. "Jeff Fisher, what he would do, he'd get on the headset after every play and say, 'Gimme the play. Give us a play.' And it forced Norm to have to think a little bit faster.

"We're gonna try not to get those penalties," Smith said, "but it's ... I don't want to say it's inevitable, but it could happen, and I wouldn't be, like, 'Whoa! What is THAT all about?'"

Lewis' focus will be the passing game, and Smith and Stump Mitchell will be available to help him with running plays. But even THAT situation isn't all that new. "It happens even in the games with Z-man," Smith explained. "He'll say, 'You know, Sherm, gimme three runs.' And I'll give him, say, 'Okay, this, this, and this.' And then we'll talk to Buges, 'Hey, Buges, what do you like?' It's a community effort."
oh man
