From the episode

Justin Herbert gets a play caller that we all know is damn good at this... I think for so much of Justin Herbert's career, it's been like this and that. And this feels like the first time where it's like, no, Mike McDaniel, if he could do it with Tua Tonga-Vailoa, I'm pretty sure that he can do it with a quarterback like Justin Herbert.
