It's also keeping the defense from adjusting to whatever formation we're trotting out on that play.

Can the DC communicate with the green dot to a certain point of thep lay clock? The way they can with the QB?

Can the DC communicate with the green dot to a certain point of thep lay clock? The way they can with the QB?

The same rules apply to the defense as the offense, so the 15s cutoff goes both ways.

This article summarizes:

The general rules for the use of the devices, which are now used by one player on defense as well, are:

- They are shut off, by game-day personnel, with 15 seconds left on the play clock. So with a full 40-second play clock, the coach gets 25 seconds to communicate.
- Only one coach can communicate to the quarterback, and that coach has to be on the field, in the bench area. If the offensive coordinator is the team’s play-caller and is in the press box, then he relays a play to a designated assistant coach on the field and that assistant coach relays it to the quarterback.
- Up to three quarterbacks can have a receiver and speaker in their helmets. There are no microphones.
- The same rules apply to the designated defensive player with the device in his helmet, with up to two defensive players allowed to have a device in their helmets. Only one defensive player can wear the device on the field, however; the second device with the second player is used in case of injury.There have always been rumblings about the potential for cheating, however, with some road teams having experienced repeated difficulties with the devices at crucial points in games.

The NFL Rulebook says as much, but I can't link to the section as easily.

Makes a ton of sense. They use motion more than any other team in the NFL, so it makes sense to make sure their DC cant help.

The interesting thing for Monday is they have Weddle and we know how good he is.
