I agree, we were predictable. I do not think that Lex Cath or any coach would film a game without permission.
All coaches shout out plays to the Defense, which is a educated guess on the coaches part.

Being on sidelines a lot I am amazed that coaches can read a play by the looking at the formation and having a feel for the personnel in the formation. They are right over 75% of the time it seems. No film, no stealing of signals, just know who the key players are and what the formation is and they will have a good shot of making call.

I sometimes ask - how did you know? And the coaches will say well he was lined up there and that guy was there... and that means sweep...or that means pitch...hint - sweeps and pitches seem to be the easiest reads.

For LexCath - with the 3-4, 3-5 stunting defense there will always be a play called ahead of time but it is often is 'audibled' from the side lines or sometimes the MLB once the offensive formation starts to set up. Since it is not a passive defense there is always an attempt to adjust the defensive play to the formation right up until the snap. There is no time to steal or use other teams signals, it is just an adjustment to the formation right up to the snap.
