Sean Payton wants Saints' crowd to cheer at specific time to take away Rams' strategic edge

Sean McVay did something last season, his first as head coach of the Los Angeles Rams, that was a loophole and rather brilliant.

NFL coaches can communicate with the quarterback through a speaker in the quarterback’s helmet until 15 seconds are left on the play clock. Then it shuts off. But by hurrying to the line, McVay could check out the defense and then tell quarterback Jared Goff what play will work against it. It was a completely legal strategic edge.

New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton can’t do anything about the Rams trying to call audibles through the quarterback’s helmet early in the play clock. But he had his own idea to make it harder in Sunday’s NFC championship game.

Sean Payton wants noise as soon as the previous play ends.
