I think in Lions OC Ben Johnson’s case, Detroit runs multiple fronts, and he does an incredible job of not having tendencies, or breaking his perceived tendencies at the perfect times. Giving the defense the same look a few times and then running something else out of it.
His playcalling throughout the entire game is all connected, and the Lions OL is asked to do quite a bit and excels at it all.
Being a good play caller isn’t just knowing the plays, or creative/trick plays, it’s knowing what the defense is thinking or lulling them into thinking a certain way.
