As for the stealing of signs, Marino, for one, believes it’s overblown.

“This whole situation is a total non-issue,” he said. “The key thing to remember is that most defensive signals are not given until the defense sees what offensive personnel package is on the field and who is coming into the game. By that time the offensive microphone (in the QB’s helmet) has usually been turned off and the play given in the huddle. The CIA couldn’t break the code that quickly and relay the information to the QB. I really don’t think the Patriots could have gained an advantage even if the Jets were holding up cards with the defense written on it.”cw0cw0

this is a point not many has brought up. The defensive signals are usually in response to the offensive package.

Not too bad, semi piling on.. with regards to the communication devices in the helmets I thought that this was NFL equipment and controlled by them.
