    Our offense has a lot of these I feel. At least currently. Some due to formation, lack of fusion between run and pass, certain motions... but this takes it to that elite level.

    Looking for the simplist, smallest tells, helping a really strong Denver defense be great.

    Personally I hope we have something going similar to this habit. It mentions it was part of the patriots defense so possibly JRob has had a say in it.

    Every team has tells

    It can be used in your favor when teams think they've caught on tho.

    so to me it's nature of the game to show your hand somewhat at times

    It does. Play chess against someone who opens a certain way is sometimes easier than someone who doesn't know how to play and wings it. Harder to read.

    Point still remains, it's something we are hopefully investing in, on both sides of the ball

    Considering every coach I've talked to, whether from high school/college or international teams, do this I would find it very surprising if there was a single NFL team not doing it.

    Well considering it sounded like it was more of a player attribute... I'm not so sure. Ware said he was met with coaches who didn't believe in it.. at the pro level....

    Our secondary does it, they find when a QB drops back to pass he's likely to beat us deep.

    The amount of experience coaches have as players and coaches, plus the amount of plays they have seen over the years watching and being part of them, reading the game becomes second nature. Even current experienced players and probably Rookies as well can read the game really well as many of them started playing from an early age. So to some extent probably only a couple of plays a game might elude teams and if you could successfully mask all plays games would have a lot higher scoring games.
