I want to agree with this point, but how has he had Favre's number? Be it in

As far as adjustments, the only thing I have seen him do is adjust out of
what is working on offense. Also, the challenge flag seems very challenging
to Lovie, as far as when to use it.

Lovie made his bed with his co-ordinators, he now must sink or swim with
them(Ha, hows that for cliche's?).
