The name itself could be seen as a bit Arrogant...
But if so, it's a rare case of Arrogance fully and completely warranted.
Dumb Football: aka the ESPN & NFLN pre-game shows.
What I didn't get from that article, though, is how do they know where to line up on any given play? "Ghost/tosser," for example, tells them what routes—but there were four different patterns they should, with differing groupings of who is on which side of the QB. How does Brady direct that part of the system?
There can still a formation part of the call, but yes, the article sort of glossed over that aspect. Once they're in a formation, the play can be one or two words to convey the concepts for each side, such as "Ghost/Tosser" in the article.
