I don't think Green 19 is a specific play rather the "original" play or first play called in the huddle. I think it's simply code for "hey guys, we're sticking to the first play I called in the huddle".

Then you have the "alert" plays. "Alert Alert" Which is sometimes used in blitzing situations or could be also used to change the play at the line of scrimmage.

Since we're on the subject, you'll also hear "54 is the Mike" which is telling the linemen who to focus their blocking scheme on. Mike is in reference to the Middle Linebacker (Sam, Will, Mike) but the called "Mike" linebacker doesn't have to be the middle linebacker or a linebacker at all rather it's the guy the QB wants to focus the blocking scheme on which could even be a Safety IIRC.

Brady will do a lot of adjusting at the line whether it's just a simple Green, moving receivers around, pointing his fingers to the side of his helmet or calling an audible.

It's a bit tricky trying to decode call signs for more than one game because they all get switched up or modified on a weekly basis to stay one step ahead of the scouts.

I think the best bet is to look at that game, isolated and figure out what the modifier is. You can bet that if it's used again in the next game, it has a slight tweak to it or no longer means the same thing.

If "Green-19" came right after setting protection, any adjustments, it's probably a "live color" call to set cadence, and lets the offense know a "hut" is coming so they can fire off the line right away ("go on one"), or condition the defense to anticipate a snap so that he can draw them offside with a hard count.

IIRC, "alert" essentially means to go to the second play, or if extended verbiage follows, Brady is changing the play on his own.
 
Duh. My apologies. It never occurred to me to do a Google search for that. Thank you!

No big deal.

Shows a valid observation that others noticed as well.

Yeah you're not fooling us Jemmer. We know you're actually Ernie "Pink stripes" Adam's hidden account throwing us a pop quiz. :D

So now that you're here, what does Pink Stripes really mean?

There's also an "Easy" between "Green-19" and the "Jordan, Jordan" call. IIRC, "Easy" is the prep signal for an audible - in this case, "Jordan".
I believe we went over this in another thread that is escaping me. Both of those are audible though.

I'm replying from work so haven't gone back and checked but IIRC Brady calls Green 19 a lot during games so I don't think it's the an actual play rather a key to which play they're using from the called plays in the huddle.

I'll check later.
