Article Saints got clues to Cowboys’ offense from Kellen Moore’s Boise State tape ETA- New Article added! (1 Viewer)

Just saw this article about the Cowboys game:


The Saints’ defense had an impressive performance against the Cowboys’ offense last week, and they studied Cowboys offensive coordinator Kellen Moore’s college playing days to do it. Saints players told Steve Wyche of NFL Network that they went back to Boise State tape from Moore’s years as the quarterback there to see what kinds of hand signals he used. The Saints then found that Moore uses some of the same signals when calling the Cowboys’ offense, and those tendencies helped the Saints shut down the Cowboys.

Because it's not actually true. They just want to rattle the cowboys and make them spend unnecessary hours watching old college tape looking for things that don't exist.

Chances are some other team would have leaked that out anyway. Besides there is only so much a coordinator can do offensively with DAK at Qb .

Yeah....not buying all of that. But funny.

What about Bill Callahan using John Gruden’s Raiders playbook against Gruden in the Super Bowl.

Not a shock that the Tampa defense essentially knew every play the Raiders were running before they ran it.

Kind of a shock that Callahan is a head coach again.

Not at all a shock— it’s with the Redskins.

I remember the Bucs players laughing about that. Even they were in disbelief that Callahan used the same playbook. At least change up the plays in the upcoming weeks before the Super Bowl

More details in another article on Film Study-Gate, lol - including Green Bay comments and Redskins/Giants backlash:

A Packers source expressed to CowboysSI.com a similar sentiment following Sunday's 34-24 win at Dallas, saying that Green Bay's scouting department got bleary-eyed watching hot-seated Jason Garrett film of his Princeton playing days mining for similar informational gold.

"We got bleary-eyed, though,'' admits the Packers scout, "because of the grainy nature of the old film. And because of Jason's irrepressible red hair. It was really distracting.''

Meanwhile, the coaching staffs at the Giants, the Redskins and the Dolphins - three teams that were blown out by now-3-2 Dallas - are NFL laughingstocks due to their failure to recognize the value of studying game film of Dallas assistant coaches when they were college players. Following the firing of Redskins head coach Jay Gruden, we're told Washington staffers have for the futurebeen instructed to study Razorbacks hand signals circa 1960 (when Jerry Jones was an Arkansas lineman) and 1988 when Stephen Jones was a linebacker/safety.) Said one Redkins source: "I mean, it's Arkansas. How clever can it really be?''

Dallas plays at the New York Jets this week, and sources tell tell CowboysSI.com that Jets scouting are already perusing antiquated film to try to solve not only Dallas offense, but its defense as well.

"We really have no idea of how to find Marinelli film from his playing days in in 1970 at California Lutheran,'' the source said. "But he served in Vietnam before that. If there were any 'hand signals' or anything like that there, we're all over it.''

What am I missing? Why is this funny?

If we found a “tell” I would absolutely want to keep it under wraps Incase we end up playing them in the playoffs.

Pretty sure the joke is that we are going to see the Cowboys in the playoffs this year. Their 3 wins aren't looking all that impressive anymore.
