Offensive signals are shown

Posted by Mike Reiss, Globe Staff May 13, 2008 11:20 AM

NEW YORK -- Video of signals shot by the Patriots, of opposing coaches' signals, continues to be shown on the flat-screen TVs here at the Intercontinental Hotel.

Offensive signals from a game against the Dolphins on Oct. 7, 2001 are now being shown.

The video was shot from an end-zone angle and shows a coach giving signals (e.g. taking both hands and touching his shoulders). The video then cuts to an end-zone view of the play. After the play, the camera cuts back to the sideline to see the same coach giving signals. The video then cuts to an end-zone view of the play.

That cycle continued throughout the approximate five minutes of video shown of offensive signals.

To this point, media members have seen defensive signals from a game against the Dolphins in 2000, defensive signals from a game against the Dolphins on Oct. 7, 2001, and the offensive signals from Oct. 7, 2001 against the Dolphins.

  1. What?!?! The Patriots video taped opposing teams' signals? Shocking.

    And in other shocking news: Barry Bonds did steroids, Pete Rose gambled on baseball, and the Chicago White Sox threw the 1919 World Series.

    Seriously, is there anything new coming out of this? This was news last September.

  1. Has any investigative reporting been done by any media source on how other teams have done similar "spying"?

  1. Which is why NFL teams have more than one "Signal Caller"! Everyone in the NFL tries to get an edge. As far as that so-called Senator, he better perform his real duties when it really counts.
