Mike Reiss' blog - Belichick expounds on Patriots' loss - ESPN Boston
interesting...wonder if they over thought this game...Why the Patriots communicated with boards from the sideline. Belichick explained why receivers coach Chad O'Shea and practice squad quarterback Isaiah Stanback were holding up grease boards from the sideline and noted that it was easier for running backs and receivers to look over to the sideline in the no-huddle attack instead of waiting to hear the call from quarterback Tom Brady. The number of the play was written on the grease board and then held up, so the players could read the number and then look at their wristbands. Belichick said he couldn't remember ever doing that before.
