For many years now the QB has had a headset to get plays from the sideline, but the defense would get their play from the sideline via hand signals.
Being the QB needed to first hear the play and then audible the play to the rest of the offense, but the defense got their assignment thru a silent visible hand sign a home team could have an advantage by having their stands be a loud as possible when on defense but quiet on offense.
This could change, if defenses are getting their plays via a headset and then it is audibled extreme noise would prevent the defense from getting the play too.
Will this result in some teams that have a huge noise advantage (such as the Cotls) forgoing using the new permitted technology and sticking with hand signs or is this the end of having fans trying to make maximum noise on defense?
