During yesterday's FOX broadcast, Johnson had the following exchange w/ Barry Switzer and Terry Bradshaw: [text per Bostonsportsmedia.com]
Meanwhile, over on CBS, Dan Marino was expounding on his opinion of the practice in question:
My questions are:
1) Where does Marino think Jimmy Johnson got his inside tips on the opponent's defensive calls from, and...
2) Does this call into question the validity of Dan Marnio's soon-to-be-defunct-anyway touchdown records?
Johnson: "Bill Belichick was wrong because he videotaped signals after a memo was sent out to all of the teams saying not to do it. But what irritates me is hearing some reactions from players and coaches. These players don't know what their coaches are doing. And some of the coaches have selective amnesia because I know for a fact there were various teams doing this. That's why the memo was sent to everybody. That doesn't make him [Belichick] right, but a lot of teams are doing this."
Switzer: "It's total arrogance. The Commissioner sent a memo out to every squad."
Bradshaw: "Did you do it at Oklahoma?"
Switzer: "Yeah. It happened."
Bradshaw: "Did you do it at Arkansas?"
Johnson: "Yeah."
Bradshaw: "Did you do it in Miami?"
Johnson: "Yeah."
Meanwhile, over on CBS, Dan Marino was expounding on his opinion of the practice in question:
Dan Marino: To a quarterback, if you know the signals ahead of time, that's a huge advantage. If you know where the blitz is going to come from, what coverage that they're going to be in...It's arrogant. It's wrong. It's cheating. When you look at it that way, you could make Boomer Esiason look like Joe Montana. I'm trying to keep it light.
