If they were somehow intercepting our communications, how would they relay that to the defense in time for it to do them any good?
What worked for us was picking up the tempo and spreading them out. For whatever reason, we got away from that. Honestly, it was a dog**** gameplan by Coley IMO and even worse failure to stick with it, but in his defense, it would have been tough to predict our interior would be so badly overmatched, which I'm sure made a lot of very sensible calls by Coley look much worse.
The experts can correct me if I'm wrong in saying that in any play call, usually there are some discussions just before the play is called. Then there is enough commonality in terminology to indicate if it's a run or a pass. Even if you could figure out four out of five times "run" or "pass," you'd be able to either lay your ears back coming after the run, or trying to cover the players in a pass play.
If you determine it's a run, then you will defend much different than a pass. Right? And you can choke up in the middle, bring db's in, and concentrate on keeping the outside contained.
It just looked a bit strange. Which got me to thinking, how is this seeming intuition possible? I'm confident they don't have the playbook, but I'm also confident that if one were to intercept in real time the play calls, an experienced play caller can pick out enough key words to indicate run or pass. And that would be sufficient most of the time to wreak havoc on an opposing team, as you just cut in half the possibilities you'll have to defend.
