This looks bad, just saying. But I don't buy this, why did Goodell not say anything about this.
From the Globe:
Most likely this would have been a QB: 7 Michael Bishop, 11 Drew Bledsoe, 12 Tom Brady and 17 John Friesz.
From the Globe:
Specter met with former Patriots video assistant Matt Walsh for three hours yesterday in his Hart Senate Office Building office. He said that Walsh told him that a former offensive player for the Patriots told Walsh a few days before a Sept. 11, 2000 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that the offensive player was called into a meeting with head coach Bill Belichick, then offensive coordinator Charlie Weis and Belichick confidant Ernie Adams. During the meeting it was explained to the player how the signal tapes would be used.
According to Specter's recount of what Walsh detailed to him, the offensive player, who was on the sidelines for the game, would memorize the signals then watch for the Tampa Bay defensive calls during the game. He would then pass the call along to Weis, who would give instructions to the quarterback on the field.
Specter's statement said that the offensive player told Walsh that it helped the Patriots anticipate 75 percent of the defensive plays being called.
Most likely this would have been a QB: 7 Michael Bishop, 11 Drew Bledsoe, 12 Tom Brady and 17 John Friesz.
