I'm glad you have a grasp on the obvious
Maengelito Wrote:in baseball, players try to steal signals all the time, but then the pitchers and bench coaches will just change it up and basically nullify the stolen info.
So why cant this be done in football?

Assuming the offense not only correctly reads the hand signals/audibles, they also have to be ready to capitalize on it. Get it wrong, and its a big backfire.... its still not a free pass.
