Don't forget, like Belichick, Reed is one of the few head coaches in the league who fully mobilizes the Special Duty Group and taps into its potential. While it may seem trivial, it is, in fact, an indispensable part of a strong team and a championship team, often capable of deciding the outcome at critical moments.
Immediately, Reed noticed O'Brien's hesitation—
Choosing a field goal or daring the Fourth Down are both correct options. In the first quarter of the game, each choice has its value. Therefore, the focus is not on O'Brien's choice but on his momentary hesitation.
This indicates O'Brien wavered, and from here, the game gradually drifted out of the pre-game preparations, breeding more possibilities.
Although on-the-spot scheduling is not Reed's forte, he accurately read the psychological fluctuations and immediately deployed his forces to exert further pressure.
Bam! Bam bam bam!
The Special Duty Group kicked off.
