I presume that all this and much more from many, many teams is in the Commission's files. Almost all this stuff is probably utter nonsense. Only the Commission's office has the full story.
Would you be surprised the above allegation were true? Why or why not? Is you opinion different than it was last week? I expect that the allegation is unsupported nonsense, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were true. I also wouldn't be surprised in the Mangini engaged in such behavior.
What kind of headsets do they use? Are they digital with encryption? Seems like all you need is a guy with a portable radio scanner and you've got all their offensive signals.
Police radio can be picked up with a cheap Radio Shack scanner. Is it that easy to listen in on the QB signals? That would be interesting to me as fan, getting to listen to communications between the coaches and QB, nevermind the advantage that could give a team.They are on a special band (similar to the police radio band) and the equipment is provided by Motorola.
That would certainly make sense, the only tough part would be getting the equipment to do that into a form factor small enough to fit in a helmet.I believe it's encrypted
I coulda sworn I watched a half dozen games last season we weren't even playing in where there were issues with the communications equipment. Maybe Bill subcontracts out a special ops team.
I think the procedure is when there are documentable problems with the communications, the league shuts the system down for both sides to level the playing field until they can get it working right again.
Sounds to me like a handful of new generation HC's are in over their heads and short of admitting that think jumping on the Belichick did it to me bandwaggon may buy them a little more time to get it all figured out.
Thing is, if it only happens when you're on offense, what good does it do? The defense isn't using radios anyway.Exactly when the audio system isn't working correctly for you (coaches or QB) you then tell the officials and he makes both teams stop using radio systems until they get it fixed. If your coach is stupid enough to not bother telling the official than that's his problem.

Can the QB communicate back and forth with the coaching staff or is there only a receiver in his helmet?
