Cam Newton shows Playbook on Instagram

[KDPPatsfan85]

Here it is and they just showed it on NFL Network too...

Please Mac Jones, don't let me down.

I can't find words to express how little this matters, and how much of an act of desperation it is to make something of it.

There are only 100 copies of this book given to players who are on other teams right now.

Bigger question mark is his use of English language and characters that resemble a 15-year-old girl on MySpace.

The entire NE offensive playbook was on the web years ago. The 2001 Rams too.

The Patriots have thousands of plays and add new opposing team specific ones during the week of a game. Furthermore, after signing 2 FA TEs is it breaking news that NE is going to run 2 TE sets?

 

[Triumph]

Defenses need to defend the NE running backs, Hunter Henry and Johnu Smith.

Not that pile of 5hit at WR.

 

[Sicilian]

Holy crap! Four of their plays are going to have players RUNNING ROUTES! Now every team KNOWS this!

 

[ausbacker]

As if Cam is going to hit the open receiver anyway.

As meaningless such things appear to be, I have to think that BB would not want such a precedent set for his team.

I wouldn't be surprised if Cam is disciplined substantially.

Exactly my thought when I made this thread!

I think this is a much bigger issue than the “actual helping opponents figure NE out”. As others have pointed out, hundreds of ex-Patriots are out there living their lives. Several are even coaches for other teams.

BB just hates (1) social media (2) not keeping things in-house (3) attention of this type. He’s not exactly an easy going HC.

Why?

NFL DCs already have everything on film. If defenses line up to stop the NE TEs, Cam simply changes the play and the TEs turn into blockers or decoys. How are defense going to know when the NE TEs are receivers or blockers?

It's a font, just like times new roman or comic sans.

Spoken to, sure. But substantial discipline? I'd be very surprised. Chances are whatever the reaction to this is by BB, we won't ever even hear about it.

Would you prefer he use something other than English? Maybe Japanese or Arabic or something.

If anything, it would probably just be less first team reps in one practice.

Is it the actual Pats playbook?
Is it something that every team in the League doesn't have already?
Are those plays that every team in the League doesn't already have charted for the Pats?
Is studying the playbook some kind of secret advantage? Sending out the wrong message?
Will the coach even find out about this? (If you worked for him, would you want to be the one to suggest that he give this time and attention, which means he gives less time and attention to something else?)

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

OMG, the team that just signed two of the best TEs in all of football are planning on running plays out of a 2 TE formation?

The Humanity!!!!

Obviously trying to bait and switch other teams who see this. Has to be a new form of cheating from the cheaty cheating cheatriots and belicheat. Call Ted Wells.
