Meath weren't exactly renowned as a cavalier team under Andy McEntee yet since he took over Antrim, they can't stop scoring goals.
The Saffrons rifled 10 of them in the Allianz Football League and have banged in 10 more so far in the Championship, nine in the Tailteann Cup as well as the only goal of the game in their Ulster SFC encounter with Armagh.
Meanwhile, back in Meath, McEntee's successor Colm O'Rourke has pulled together a new look team - 12 different players have made their Championship debuts this summer - and got them playing an attractive catch and kick game.
Their opening goal in last weekend's 2-23 demolition of Wexford summed up how O'Rourke wants his Royals to play; a long ball caught at midfield and quickly transferred to the left corner-forward position where Aaron Lynch was waiting to pounce.
Put those two teams together on a wide open pitch like Croke Park and the ingredients are there for, if not a classic, then surely an open and enjoyable Tailteann Cup semi-final this Sunday.
"Absolutely, I think it will be," said Antrim captain Peter Healy.
"With the personnel we've got, we've got a lot of strong runners but we're trying to play direct football too.
"When you have a big man like Ruairi McCann inside, he's the definition of a handful and we're just getting the ball into him and it's whether he smashes it in the net himself or lays it off to someone else.
"That direct football has allowed us to score those 10 goals and that's how we're kind of sticking in games, sticking in goals and then bang - the game changes. Something we're definitely trying to do is utilise him.
"When you have a big man inside, you've got to use him. Ruairi might only touch the ball eight, nine or 10 times in a game but he might score three goals. He's so dangerous that way.
"Credit to Andy, he sort of recognised that and that's what we're trying to do.
"The other side of it is I saw the league table of all the counties in Ireland and we had the worst defence. Maybe we're too attacking. But I think we've reined that in a bit and we've been a bit tighter in the Tailteann Cup."

In some ways, McEntee can't lose. Even if Antrim don't win, his son Shane, part of the Meath panel though currently injured, and his nephew James, Man of the Match in last weekend's win over Wexford, will be through to a national final.
"It's funny, he's made plenty of jokes about it during the week, during our analysis and stuff, about his nephew playing," said defender Healy, who is delighted that the football obsessed Nobber native agreed to take on the Antrim job.
"He's some man to get lads riled up before a game in the changing room. He'll go off on one and everyone is raring to go. It's brilliant to see and brilliant to be a part of."
Meanwhile, Healy is hopeful that defender Dermot McAleese and midfielder Conor Stewart will be fit for the Meath game. Both went off with injuries in last Sunday's win over Carlow with McAleese suffering a nasty head injury early in the game.
"When Dermot went off, jeez, it was awful," said Healy.
"He went off five minutes in, he was blind in one eye for three or four hours. You can imagine how scary that was. He was in hospital, started to get his sight back and he looks like he's good to go. With Conor, it was his knee. He's having a scan this week. We don't know whether he's available, he doesn't look too bad, but he's going for the scan."
