I'd just like to point out that all game, they have focused on the mouths of both Sean Payton and Rob Ryan while they were calling plays. They even close up on Drew in the middle of the damn huddle. I haven't seen Chip Kelly during play calling or Nick Foles mouth in huddle.

This is ridiculous. I'm no lip reader, but even I can make out certain key phrases. I'm a conspiracy theorist, yes, but am I the only one who is being outraged by this??

Lets go saints, WHO DAT!

There was even a close up to Sean's play sheet from over his shoulder. I freeze frames it there and I could read things clear as day. Makes me wonder if anyone in their box upstairs has the same freeze frames. Would be a smart move.

I noticed the same thing. Think Seattle's coaches DVR'ed this game?

I saw the call sheet as well- lot's of men's names that begin with 'R' and 'L'

The words you see do not describe the plays, so there is nothin to be gained.

They make up words and names for the plays and it changes weekly so other teams can't figure it out.

R and L are right and left

This should be the least of our concerns lol

Enjoy the win

Be more worried about the 100%chance of rain next week

There is no right or left, gaps are numbered... Could all be odd, even, or both. Could have colors for gaps also.

I enjoyed the win very much. And oak you're right, they do a great job f mixing things up and using different phrasing for calls for each game.

It's still something to be concerned about though going forward I believe.
I thought they used to not be able to show the insides of huddles.

I guess it just makes me paranoid. After re-watching, it was ironically almost every key third down that they were in the huddle over Drew.

Just kind of weird to see so much of it throughout one game.

Edit-- but oh well, even if they had a professional lip reader, and knew every play we called, they still lost!
What a win. Who dat!

NFC South is our home,
better not play us in the dome!

Actually, I worry that some of the things we write here about our weaknesses will be used in opponent's scouting reports. We watch this team every week -- so our observations come from a large sample size -- which is important. I cringe when an opponent's fans come by and ask us to report to them. How do we know that the "fan" isn't the opposition's scout?
