For sure, the fact it’s their job and have a whole week of studying their opponents with the highest level of coaching makes halftime more of a time for a mental reset or quick snack rather than adding to an already 500 page playbook

@@LittleMakwa i feel like halftime is more for the coaches and coordinators to quickly discuss whats working and whats not. i doubt the players get told much, they just rest

also the plays in HS are simple by comparison so it's easier to modify them on the fly. the coordination and precision required for nfl plays is at another level so you can't really change anything without risking jacking up some other important aspect or open up a weakness.

@@jobunaga4178 And like Harbaugh said they probably already had any of those potential adjustments ready the week before anyway.

Uh.. what? 😂 NFL halftimes are just as long as high school halftimes. You're deluded, my friend.

Random story: I gave Rex an Uber ride to the airport 2 years ago. Really nice guy!

McVay once said the only time of his career he made halftime adjustments was the Super Bowl loss against the Patriots. And all of those adjustments backfired. Things didn’t go well in the first half, so he panicked. But when his panic moved didn’t work, he learned to just keep sticking it out for 60 minutes. And he won a Super Bowl in the time sense

Right. Stuck to the same stupid gameplan of trying to make Lamar a passer

@@terryjt1 idk how those adjustments backfired when the first half was pretty much the same as the second half except for the TD drive

@@verygooddeal4436 I think you’re looking at the results, not the process. Game planning and playcalling is about the process. Rams offense did almost everything differently in the second half. That doesn’t mean the results were better. But if you watch what they tried to do, it was completely different. Even if the results stayed the same.

@@terryjt1 "backfired" is looking at the results, not the process

Gotta fill the space between the commercials.

One of those weird half truths people go along with I guess. There are adjustments made at halftime, but nothing really past the extent of adjustments made in between series during the game. Sometimes some rest and a mental reset can be all the adjustment some teams need

Outside the locker room, halftime can seem like it takes forever, so it has to be filled with something. But factor in how long it takes to get to the locker room and get back out, and suddenly, halftime doesn't seem that long at all.

And why do some teams always start strong and can't finish games, while others make it happen all the way through? My guess would be that no one CALLS them halftime adjustments - as in, a completely new gameplan that you draw up between quarters 2 and 3 - but the good teams with the good coaches absolutely change what they call as the game goes on, which results in adjustments that are noticed after halftime.

Honestly most the adjustments just happen during the game. So like when the defense is on the field, the offensive coaches are making adjustments and vice versa

Maybe he thought he was eating a W.

Only at the SB

Actually edelman said recently on a podcast they really didn't do adjustments themselves

they were deflating balls and going over the taped practices of their opponents

Do your damn job, stop jawing and make the right play. *Insert jab at vulnerability or flaw*

That's just God cheering on His favorite team.

@@smc1377 Why do you refer to Roger Goodell as "God"? He certainly isn't.🤣

I just heard Peyton Manning on this exact video say it's a myth though lol

These are actual NFL coaches telling you it doesn't happen and still here you are saying they're wrong? Sheesh. Fans really think they know everything 😂😂😂

Lol actually edelman recently admitted the pats rarely did anything major during halftime

If you need proof halftime adjustments aren’t a thing, just watch this video 💀

@@PopOutPaulie A couple of coaches, sure. Did all 32 of them say that? Maybe the ones that do make halftime adjustments (or at least call them halftime adjustments) weren't included in the video, because that wouldn't have helped the point the video was trying to make.

There are coaches literally saying there’s no such halftime adjustments. Even Peyton Manning said he never made a half time adjustment in his whole career.

​@@gatienlaurol5793 and then there's a literal part where Sean Payton says the superbowl is different keep up bud. And a QBs mentality isn't really an adjustment it's just who they are.

@@gatienlaurol5793he says I don’t “think” I ever made a halftime adjustment in my whole career. The Super Bowl is 2 out of 293 games in his career. A regular season halftime is 13 minutes. The Super Bowl halftime is 30 minutes. It’s not absurd to think only the Super Bowl halftime is long enough to actually discuss strategic changes.

Meh, you're both kind of correct.

How on earth do you convince 53 players on both sides to follow a “script” of a game?

@@gatienlaurol5793 You're asking these people to use some common sense, you know they can't do that.

@@melvinshine9841 I never understood the logic of suggesting the NFL is rigged. If anyone watches film, they would know how hard it is for plays on both sides of the ball to work effectively. And then to suggest that the NFL has somehow conspired with all 53 players on both sides along with the coaching staff to rig a football game…..to what end? Make it make sense.

@@gatienlaurol5793 You can't make it make sense. The NFL is "going to decide" the last Patriots Super Bowl is going to be one of the most unwatchable Super Bowls of the last decade when every other one they played in was entertaining because why? They're going to tell the Cowboys to win a bunch of regular season games, but gag in the playoffs because they don't want one of the most watched teams in Americans sports in the Super Bowl? They're going to "pick" a small market team like Kansas City to be the next dynasty over any other much bigger east or west coast city?

@@gatienlaurol5793 Ask lobbyists how they convince 500+ members of Congress to vote their way. Short answer: They don't. Every lobbyist will tell you that they only need to sway 10 Congressmen, at most, and the rest of the votes will go their way. Same with the NFL or the NBA. You don't need every player. You just need one or two, and of course, you don't even need all of the referees. It's a myth that everyone has to be involved. That's simply untrue. It only takes a couple of people to sway the entire game. I don't know how anyone could think that sports betting is a thing, but Vegas is just going to allow game outcomes to happen by chance. No. Vegas doesn't do that. It's all rigged. Do you really think Taylor Swift just happened to start dating Travis Kelce in the same year that she gets free TV time throughout the season and during the Super Bowl? Of course not. There was a contract that was signed between the NFL and Taylor Swift. Just look at how much money the NFL made last season, how much the ratings got a boost because all those Swifties were suddenly watching Chiefs games and buying Kelce jerseys. There's so much money involved now that common sense dictates that it is rigged.
