The following from the above article, spoken about Sam Keller:
"It's amazing," Callahan said. "There's been several times where I'll yell a personnel grouping, then I'll begin the formation and then he'll say, 'I got it. I got it. I got it.' He's got the play."
Someone had made a remark earlier about Callahan telegraphing plays merely by the formations and personnel. Doesn't the above statement pretty much confirm that when he sets a specific personnel group and formation that a predictable play will follow? That has to be of enormous benefit to a defense knowing what play is coming. I think it would constitute an unfair advantage, which is why the NFL fined Bill Belechek $250,000 for trying to steal this type of information from opponent's signals.
