Yeah it did prove it, the Pats have been doing this since at least 2000. So the fact that they didn't tape last year, does nothing to dismiss the fact that they had archives of coaches signals. The knowledge they gained over all of those years was still available to them all of last season. Let me ask you a question, if the camera didn't help them then why would they take the risk at doing it. There is no logical answer to that that you can give me. Especially when you consider that the league sent a memo to all teams before the start of the 07 season that reiterated that stealing signals would not be tolerated. Yet, they still felt the need to do it, because it is beneficial to the organizations success. Call a spade a spade man!
