footballfan11 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 This has nothing to do with any playoff games, just wondering about other people's thoughts. Is it ok ethically for the defense to openly steal offensive signals in football? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK3T Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 If they don't hide them or use dummy signaler it's fair game...if you didn't try to steal them then you aren't much of a competitor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyClydePuckett Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Absolutely nothing wrong. It is not exactly rocket science coming up with signs that cannot be picked off. If yours can it's not the other guys fault you stink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purprleragedad Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Was watching the Texas--Tech game.....and the Texas linebacker would come to the line and listen to the Line calls before the snap and he was pointing and directing "traffic" toward the play...would "set the defense" after the line made their calls....use to do that all the time...our baseball coach would watch the signal caller and determine what was being called...sometimes right ...and sometimes wrong....he use to say that he would try very hard to get a runner on 2nd so he could see the catcher call the pitch...and he would call out a number to the batter.....1 fast ball...2 curve...3 change...etc....NOW there are usually 2-3 guys making calls and you don't know which one is LIVE and which one dummy.....UNLESS you get a guy that call the same thing everytime....we use to rotate the callers....left 1st quarter...middle 2nd quarter.....but have to have guys that know what is going on!!!!

If most baseball coaches knew that was going on there would be some inside pitches being thrown! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
