Default Miami Cheated

I just heard on NFL Live about how the Dolphins bought sound clips off someone and they used these, along with game film to figure out Brady's signals for pass protection.

John Clayton just confirmed it (an excellent source of info.)

Sorry if this has already been posted , but i didn't see anything about it

This is bull****.
That is cheating.

No wonder they demolished our line and beat up on Brady.

This is one game that i'm glad i missed.

I don't know how that is cheating? We can hear Brady yelling out the calls at the LOS on TV. They could TIVO it and get the same result. I do suggest they rename their protections this week.

Sure never happened when Charlie was the OC. Patriots did the same thing to Manning for a long time.

I can't really say this is cheating either. Perhaps what needs to be done is no microphones near enough to pick up the sounds of the QB's voice. If it is being reported, then Miami looks like it got a cheap win.

I dont see how you can blame the Dolphins for that,thats the Pats fault for making the o-line adjustments so obvious! I'm suprised they were the first to exploit it ,if its that bad.(Hard to argue against that after Sunday).

Actually..the Patriots started it:
http://www.palmbeachpost.com/dolphin...svc=7&cxcat=46
Quote:
The plan the Dolphins used to once again thwart Brady - all four of his games with fewer than 100 yards passing have come against Miami - actually began last season after New England's 23-16 victory over the Dolphins on Nov. 13.

To this day, the Dolphins are convinced the Patriots stole their defensive signals in advance of that game. That insider knowledge, the Dolphins believe, allowed New England to know Miami was blitzing - and to adjust accordingly - on the game-winning 17-yard touchdown pass from Brady to Benjamin Watson with 2:16 to play.
This week, the Dolphins got even. Instead of just watching the soundless coaches' films to scout the Patriots, Miami purchased films that had audio of the signals Brady gives at the line - specifically the Patriots' signals to the offensive line that control Brady's protection. Armed with that information, the Dolphins listened to Brady's calls Sunday and adjusted where they brought pressure.

"I think that helped a lot," Thomas said.

The Dolphins also spent extra time in practice and meetings installing new blitz packages designed by defensive coordinator Dom Capers and working to disguise what they were going to do against Brady.

"If you show your hand early, he'll burn you," said safety Yeremiah Bell, who had a sack, forced fumble and recovered fumble. "What we wanted to do was kind of play with him a little bit. We know he waits until the play clock gets late before he does anything. So what we did was when he was playing around with us, we were just playing around with him.

Word is that they used a video with sound to "steal" Zach Thomas's blitz calls...

Well I guess we now know why BB doesn't let his players get "mic'ed up" very often, if ever. Thanks.
