Jetlag Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 I've been thinking about this for the past few days and was wondering what the board thought. What is to prohibit free agent/traded/cut players bringing their playbooks from their old team to their new team? I'm sure there might be something written into a contract but think about it what is really stopping them? Makes ya wonder how the Pats sign about 100 free agents every year and continue to crank out winners. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomShane Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 1) The playbook is the first thing that's handed in when a player gets cut. They have a better chance of leaving the campus with their helmet than they are their playbook. 2) The training camp playbook is relatively worthless anyway. Base sets, base plays. If you were going to gain an advantage by stealing info, it would be done by looting a weekly gameplan on a Wednesday, not the playbook in August.

Jetsfan80 Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Kneel down, on 2, break. Are you sure that "I need a play!!" wasn't a play call during the Ravens game? Herm sure was shouting it loudly, he must have had something up his sleeve. Too bad Quincy Carter messed it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
