If my aunt had a wiener, she’d be my uncle.

Not making a point, I just like that phrase.

My wife has an uncle that became her aunt. Its a strange world we live in. Millions of years of biology turning on its head. Mother nature is a fickle b!+ch! We digress.....Go Apps!! Yay for 2-0!

I'm not a football coach an I know my opinion is whatever, but there's one pn-field thing I actually hoped is addressed.

The App staffers behind the play callers had screens to keep the opponents in the booth from stealing signals from the signal callers. A lot of teams do this. Last year we had flags with poles on each end. This year there's actual screens that go all the way to the ground. Several times, I noticed the screeners were failing miserably to cover the signal callers since they were bulky and hard to maneuver. I could have stolen the signals many times if I wanted to. Also, since the screens went all the way to the ground, the screeners had to look around the screen to see if they could take them down, meaning sometimes I could see some of the signals. It seemed like a design flaw that could be easily rectified by going back to using flags on poles so the screeners can look under them to see if they can take them down.

Yeah, the "if-then" statements are dumb. Football is a game of adjustments. When One phase of the game does one thing, another phase will become equally affected. Momentum, adjustments, human nature.

Things will change on defense. We’re not giving up these points and yards because we don’t have talented guys. There’s a big difference between struggling due to not having the right guys and struggling due to bad schemes. It’s easier to change schemes than personnel. The sky’s not falling yet.

Are the screens to prevent the stealing of signals, or, they give the playcallers on the field a reference point of where to look for the call?

The signalers on the sidelines are in red, yellow, green, etc shirts so the players know where to look. The screens are to prevent signal stealing from the coaches in the booth upstairs.

So are you talking about the coaches in the booth on the App Side? If so, how can steal a signal from a person with their back to them? They would be facing the same way, towards the field.
