    I'm still wondering WHY?! Can't these guys communicate via headset? Why would they text? That's not a good form of communication for a coach and people upstairs. A coach checking his phone on the sideline seems like it would be difficult to cover up.

    Idk this for sure but I do believe you're only allowed so many headsets. If you're limited to say 5 headsets and you need more coaches to operate, it's easily plausible you'd try to get that extra coach back in the loop somehow.

    still seems easier to say "hey jimmy with the headset, tell them to do this" than to text a coach thats on the sideline. How were they viewing these text in secret? Seems like relaying a message through the headset would be a lot quicker and legal. I think it would be a disadvantage if anything.

    You're assuming the guy texting is in the booth. He's probably in some skybox, sitting on his lazy ass.

    It's the Browns. No one cares.

    I agree and there are rumblings that they want to move up for Mariota, and they have two, 1st round picks to use as ammo to get up there (I think it's picks #12 and #19). If TB takes Winston, I'm all over that if I'm Ruston. They would probably need to throw in their 2nd as well because that's not quite enough ammo to move all the way up to #2.

    Why would that even be a rule? I would think the NFL would want teams to be able to communicate as effectively as they want to and headsets are the best way. That seems stupid to me.

    I can understand the rule about texting if the owner is using it or someone in the front office that's not a coach, but if coaches are just using it to communicate I don't get why it's a big deal.

    If they throw in the 2nd, it's fair deal and I think we make out better there....Then they can go get their QB next year if need be. That would instantly improve the team (barring they don't bust on all 3 early picks).
