lol @ the play he had to call. Not gonna even try to understand what that all meant.
Is it some kind of code in case the other team listens in?
If Mike isn't talking into his helmet in the huddle, Aaron has one heck of a memory.
If I heard all that all I could tell the guys is either "Get open" or "Handoff."

No it's just terminology for alignments/protection and receiver/RB routes I'm 95% sure.

And yea lol. Rodgers gets the play before he goes into the huddle from MM, then has to repeat it to everyone in the huddle.. You could tell he was trying to remember the play.

That was great. I love sound fx. I love how when Rodgers wanted MM to throw the challenge flag he pretty much didn't hesitate at all, in real time and in the video.

Near the end, he is relying a play in the huddle and I swear it took him 15 secs to say it, and he says, was that long enough for you?

I could never remember plays like that

Loved MM saying "lets finish this", and "we have to keep pressing". Maybe his play calling will change and he'll continue to press later in the game even when the Pack is up, he did against the broncos so one can hope.

Every section is a different code for what each player should do. For example, "east right flop" is for the O-line. "z right y left" tells where the receiver will line up and "396 zag" is to tell the running back where to run through the tackle or guard and how to do it (Delay, stutter, etc.) and the last number in "396" is what route the receiver will run, which in that case is a hook route between 10 and 20 yards and you turn towards the sideline.

I love it, he seems to get good respect and have a good relationship with the officials. Like a certain "he who must not be named". You guys got any left handed footballs?

Hahahaha this is awesome. My favorite part is him trying to barter the touchdown vs. the interception with the ref, so funny.

A-Rod's having the time of his life out there right now, we're damn lucky to be able to have a player like him.

I love it to.
I guess he yells out "Green 58" to signal when the ball gets hiked?
What happened to the good ol' "Hut, hut?"

You can also hear MM tell A-Rod "You got Jordy wide open."
So I guess coaches can look down field to see what is happening and suggest to the QB where to put the ball.
I've seen another one with Dennis Green doing the same thing.

The mic in Rodgers helmet is killed before the snap so Rodgers can't really hear the suggestion unless he can hear him from the sideline.

No, that's just MM talking to himself. If you ever watch MM on the sideline call plays watch his hand turn the microphone on to Rodgers, read the play from his sheet then he immediately turns it back off. The control thingy for the headsets always on his hip.

OK I guess what I would like to know is if there is any rule that prohibits coaches from talking to players during the play.
If not, then are they giving instructions/advice to the player on what to do? Ever?

Ya there is a rule against it. If a coach doesn't kill the communication the play clock will shut it off when it gets below a certain number which I think it's 10.

Really? They have the technology to do that?

OK

Just watched it. Was pretty cool, a lot of recycled interviews and footage from Americas Game though.
