Ah thanks. Some teams use numbers for the routes to simplify it. I should have figured it would be a bit more complex for Payton (and why receivers in our system need to really know their shite).

But really it's still not too bad.

On passes Brees needs to know the whole play, the oline (and backs and TEs if they are staying in to block) needs the protection call, and the receivers needs to know the route concept, while everyone needs to know the formation.

On runs Brees needs to know where the handoff takes place (the he likely knows the whole play), the blockers need to know where and how to block, the back needs to know where the play is designed to go, and again everyone needs to know the formation.

But as long as you know what somethings means (and know what that thing itself is) it just becomes recall.

What was impressive is Brees remembering when and how many times a play was called.

What I also took away from the article is that you can call a play with a simple name where everyone in theory is expected to know what to do and hope nobody forgets/mixes up responsibilities.

But if you have a sharp-minded QB fluent in playbook lingo, you can dictate/reinforce specific responsibilities on each play so there's less of chance for mental errors in protections & routes.

Which says a lot about what the Auburn coaches thought of Cam Newton. He gave a play-call example to Jon Gruden on QB Camp that a typical Auburn call would be just a number: "39"
