Cam said a lot of this, and I will try to help: Call: 13 Z Devery Henderson Chris Ivory Green Right Nasty Z Peel Fake Slash 37 Buster Bluff Naked Right X post Y Bite Breakdown: - 13 = 1 HB 3 Tight Ends - Z is a Flanker. The X is a "Split End," as opposed to the tight end. This is a WR, and they are NOT on the line of scrimmage but staggered back [flanking the TE] because the TE is on the line - thus the term Fanker. - Devery Henderson is a WR and will play the Z WR position. - Chris Ivory is a HB for the Saints, who played with them in 2010-2012 as a backup, so he was coming into the game. - Green: In the Bill Walsh system, they used colors for how the backs lined up. Split backs, near, far, I formation, weak and strong I all had color names. Green, in this case, was what you typically think of as Strong I... at least in the Bill Walsh system. Most likely, they are asking the third TE to line up like a Full Back would in strong I. - Right: This can change for various reasons for various teams, but often implies the strength. In Madden, you can just hit "flip", but you would *say that* in the huddle by saying Right/left instead of saying "Flip it" or whatever. So, Green Right is Strong I Right. The #2 TE is on the left side and the one WR is off the ball at Z played by Devery Henderson. - Nasty: This refers to the split end wide receiver [Z - Devery Henderson] reducing his split from the tackle. He isn't out wide, but closer to the TE and the formation. - Peel: This I am less sure about Peel could be motion for Devery Henderson, or it could be connected to Peel Fake Slash - Fake Slash: This is a run fake, like Cam said. - 37 Buster Bluff Naked Right: Okay, now we have to talk about number calls and pass protection. The first digit [3] is part of the pass protection in the play action. The second digit [7] is the direction of the fake. Being an odd number, the fake is probably to the left. This is also confirmed when coach says Buster Bluff Naked Right because a fake to the left will allow Drew Brees to "naked" [without protection] to the right, away from the fake direction of the run. The is why, on camera, Cam also fakes left and rolls to his right. - X post Y Bite: These are routes. X is the player [X, Y, Z, H, F, etc]. I don't know/remember what a "bite" route is, but the Post is obvious that everyone knows. Cam is 100% correct that this is a fake left, roll right and throw the post with the "bite" route probably as the check down or #2 choice for him. Drew would probably call: Green Right Nasty [Formation] Z Peel [I think motion] Fake Slash 37 Buster Bluff [Play action left] Naked Right [roll right w/o pass protection or help] X post Y Bite [route combo] Drew would then mention the second play his coach calls as the kill play + the snap count. Drew wouldn't need to say the "13 Z Devery Henderson Chris Ivory" part. That was, as Cam said, for the coaches to get the correct players in the huddle. It also helps Drew to know who his teammates are because he should want to know match-ups during game planning and film study all week.
@@penguins6229 I want to make an immature "Your mom" joke, but apart from that, what are you looking for? They often key the Mike linebacker for protection calls. They might make alert checks ir kills, but also dummy calls to fake the defense. There is often a live color call or kill command to let them know any changes or to motion or anything, then the cadence. Sometimes little or none of this on a silent count as well. As for why, it again has to do with communication. Pass protection keys; alerts versus leverage; dummy calls to keep the defense guessing; cadence to keep the defense from jumping the snap; and so forth.
Cam Newtown showing real senior software developer energy, telling coaches to keep it simple and get to the point. Run the play and move tf on. Love it
Coaches like to call long plays because it makes them seem smart. Meanwhile they’re averaging 12 points a game. He’s right about the best coaches simplifying things
Halfway through this video, I was starting to think the same thing from the way Cam is explaining this video. I could definitely see some coaches with huge egos making plays unnecessarily long trying to look more impressive than needed.
You don't know how true this is. Lot a money in this sport and they don't want to spend it on a dummy. How do you prove your smart? Have a playbook 12" thick with plays that are 6 paragraphs long.
@@giombi15you can have complexity without having excess word garbage to say what the play is. Players recognize their role on a play. If you gave a player the call sheet (which Tom Brady has said most his gameday call sheets were around 95 plays), you can simplify the name of each play by a long shot. Everybody knows formations and sets, and then you can go from there in the set with different plays, and each player remembers their role in that play, rather than overloading the QB with garbage words when he already knows it too
I can imagine how much Bo Nix is suffering with Sean Payton right now... And all those long calls just to get a run up the middle for 1 yard and finish the game with 6 points.
I'm not in the QB room with Bo and Sean, but yesterday it SURE seemed like Payton kept it much more simple, and look at the results. IN Tampa, against a damn-stout defense. Damn-near blew their doors off! And it seemed like I saw a lot less "head-turning" pre and post-snap. Idk, just looked more controlled and fluid.
Right? I would wear a wristband with the plays like Brady use too. That way coach and say the play number and the qb then read it off. Screw remembering all that bs per play its dumb imo.
@@adgee5401 More like removed the guy who moight hold him accountable or ask the tough questions. Now he can avoid anything he doesn't want to talk about and can make up the rest without being called on anything. Some of you guys are so naive.
I remember when Cam was on John Gruden’s Quarterback show. Gruden gave him this long play call and Cam couldn’t recall it. Gruden drew it up and Cam was like we had that play, we just called it 36.
That long of a play name is why so many QBs have a wrist band with plays on it. Coach says a keyword that means a specific play. QB then says the play in huddle
I was a wideout in HS. I just needed to listen to Left or Right and then the play number. Didnt need to know motion, snap count or anything else. We had one running play where I needed to crack on the OL but I could never remember the number. Hell I never got close enough to the OL to hit him anyway.
Long playcalls exist so coaches can mix and match routes and protections. If the playcall was simple you couldn’t add complexity to take advantage of personnel or schemes
This was my thought as well but I also understand what Cam is saying. Yes some simple offenses have won in the past. The problem with it though is these teams typically only work when u have some type of revolutionary offense that teams have not seen before (and a solid team). These are the teams that find fast and quick success but lose it just as fast because opposing defenses in the following years have figured them out and their simplicity can’t counter it. You also noticed he never mentioned playing for bill Belichick because I’ve heard his play calls and they are not simple. But bill and Tom Brady won 6 titles together partly because of the complexity of the offense from Bill and the commitment to excellence from Tom to try and perfect such a complicated offense. It was a match made in heaven. I’m a huge Cam fan and we think alike in many ways when it comes to football but I don’t fully agree with him on this one.
True, but my high school coach had a super simple system. Got to college and it was complex for me. I'd write my h.s. plays next to the more complicated nomenclature just to make sense and it pretty much covered every situation.🤷🏿♂️
Bill and Toms offense wasn’t difficult. It was one of the simplest offenses around. They ran the same 10-15 plays just with different formations and players. They were successful at running the same thing over and over
Cam is a guru and entertaining with these videos and breakdowns. Nothing else like it. He’s always willing to spread what he’s learned and teach us the basics cause most of us only know of a little from what we see. Great to get an insight from a pro who’s willing to gift viewers with this knowledge
When I played in college our OC gave the personnel groupings a color and the position coaches shuffled in the actual players they wanted within that personnel grouping. Many ways to skin a cat.
When I was coaching, we kept it super simple… for example, “Dallas” was the play and the formation… Truck names were to the right, cars were to the left… then we’d flip it in the second half…
Great job Cam. I'm a Raiders fan & I wish some of our fans could understand this. Just what it means when a player changes teams or a team changes a HC or OC. Just the new terminology takes time to learn. IMO a new HC can kill his new team if he is too stubborn about his system.
Cam can you go watch your film and have an inside the mind type of video you the only mvp that does these type of videos. I’m a Seahawks fan and became a fan after your Career, mostly because you beat us in the NFC chip, love the podcast.
@@midwestaarron maybe he thought it was the conference championship because the Cardinals game the following week was so lopsided that no one remembers it
That play call is for personnel and 11 players have to know what their assignment is, some people think O - Lineman just block who’s in front of them but different play calls require the O - Line to block specific defenders
I fuck with cam man! Glad he has reinvented his career as a content creator… we now get real life uncut unfiltered raw opinion from someone who played the game at a high level. The days of mainstream media is over. The people want raw uncut unfiltered and NOT a teleprompter reader!! Good shit cam
Being a Seahawks fan and watching our defense I have some thoughts on the simplicity of plays. During the LOB era we had a simple defense because we had the players to match the scheme Pete was using and the league hadn’t caught up yet. Once that changed, simplicity didn’t work anymore. Now, we have Mike and we go from the simplest defense to one of the most complex and you see a difference immediately. With the right squad and at the right time simplicity works. To further add to that. Seattle had some great defenders in the LOB but it was the safeties that made the thing work. Without Thomas after Kam the system fails.
Plays should have only 5 words. One for the formation. One for the o-line. One for the backs. One for the receivers and TE. And one for the snap count.
That’s impossible I’ll show you. Gun, blue, 24 fake dive, 1874, on State Farm on State Farm ready break. That’s 10 words and that’s literally as simple as it gets with no blocking assignments for the line. Do it need to be super long no but everyone needs there assignments and 5 words won’t cut it buddy
I coach football, it can be simpler than that, sometimes but not all of the time. There can be coded words to ensure things are simpler but it's not always feasible
Remember Tua’s TD miracle in the Natty…they asked Saban what play did you run and he was like “I know we ran Seattle” lol but its crazy how fast and long the play caller tells the QB the play. No wonder in the NFL the scoring is so low lol
As Doug Flutie said, football aint that complicated. Hand off the ball or drop back and hit the open guy. Coaches complicate shit to make people think they are some type of genius.
Nice hat Cam! I always wear a hat, but always a plain old baseball cap. I can’t get away with anything other than a baseball cap without getting complaints. You’re living the dream man!
The play calls between Sean Payton and Drew Brees were exceptionally long and complex, because the call contains two separate plays. Brees could choose 1 or 2, and then choose to audible certain players. Players around the league who played in that offense have said that other offenses not like that.
Not all playbooks are like this. This is actually rare nowadays. Theyve dumbed down playcalling alot at the college and pro level. Payton is part of the old guard. Reason he chooses smart qbs. He still runs a more traditional west coast system
@@BiffTannen-d5b Whatever you think of Sean, winning a single one is more than most will ever accomplish There has been roughly 528 NFL head coaches. 35 have won Super Bowls. Less than 7% of all people who coach NFL teams have won a Super Bowl, assuming that number on NFL head coaches isn't actually larger.
Im a high school football coach. My play calling is so much simpler. But, our game is so much simpler. An example of one of my plays is: Red (recievers,TE position) I (RB, QB Formation) Jet (motion) 31 Iso (Run Play QB reverse out hand to RB thru 1 hole)
Played mainly defense in college, bouncing between DB and LB. One year we lost a bunch of RBs to injuries, so I got moved to running back to help out. Never played offense above a highs school level, and our HS coach was a moron. Our plays were literally as simple as “sweep right” and “rollout pass 1” Trying to learn the play calling and personnel groupings on my first day as a D1 RB was FUCKING CRAZY.
That's the complication of football. Each position is a specialty in itself. You can literally play football all your life, switch from defense to offense, and suddenly you're hearing a completely different language. I'm not familiar with hockey or soccer, but I find myself wandering how many other sports are as complicated and intricate as football.
I get sensory overload watching this. 😂. The colors, the designs, the patterns…talking Xs and Os. That’s 100% brain activation there…right and left hemispheres collide.
In high school as a freshmen my coach would say a play and I would mess up bad UNTIL he told me “son just listen to the numbers and that’s your route you run.” After that football was so easy lol but before I knew that I had anxiety every time I heard a play call lol s/o coach braswell from hoggard high school Wilmington NC. The best school in NC! And it’s always F HANOVER! lol
This video is why I respect pro's so much and they actually earn every penny of their salary. Maybe they are spoiled and entitled but they have to remember a lot of plays and perform every day at the highest level. Gotta respect it
I think the coaches able to simplify play calls will be the next big step for the NFL because it opens more physically talented guys to the league, tons of guys have the physical talent but don’t have the brain to remember 378 different novels just to understand play calls
Go back to the days of the QB drawing routes on his hand in the huddle, identifying the line scrimmage with his hand before the snap, yelling “shotgun,” when not behind the center, then “hut, hut, hike!” Very important: City trees are to be identified as first down markers and the mailboxes are the end-zones.
Cam just explaining that he can’t learn the West Coast Offense. Bill Walsh was a genius. Most of these QBs today can’t learn it. Sure is funny how Montana, Young, Favre, Marino, Jim Kelly, etc. didn’t have issues with it.
The fact that he can’t even give the rationale for why play calls would be this long even if he didn’t agree says a lot. Those long plays often represent very specific alignments for different players, route combos, backfield action, protections, progression alerts etc Could it be a one word play call? Yea but there are limitations there too. So NFL coaches decided to give themselves the most options for success in a game by having long specific play calls because these guys play this game as a full time job. It’s different for HS and college when it isn’t their full time job. Learn the freaking language of the system and be a pro
The only piece I don't get is the personnel component. If the right guy isn't already on the field do you really have enough time to recognize it, send the wrong guy to the sidelines, and get the right guy in and communicate everything to him so there are no issues?
I'm just guessing, but I assume that's why you get "12 men on the field" calls. You call personnel packages first so they have the most time to get into position.
You absolutely have enough time you have about 35-40 seconds in between plays. So yes, usually they’ll call out the personnel first so in this case 13 personnel was probably called onto the field as the previous play was ending and the quarterback tells everybody the play once they in the huddle
Dont worry about that too much. I play semi professionell in Germany and even we get that done while the QB actually has to get the play from the Sideline. 30 seconds are way longer then you think, when you do this a lot

Now, we have Mike and we go from the simplest defense to one of the most complex and you see a difference immediately. With the right squad and at the right time simplicity works.
To further add to that. Seattle had some great defenders in the LOB but it was the safeties that made the thing work. Without Thomas after Kam the system fails.
Plays should have only 5 words. One for the formation. One for the o-line. One for the backs. One for the receivers and TE. And one for the snap count.
You must live in a fairy tale world
It US to be like that but nmfs is smart we have film now 😅
That’s impossible I’ll show you. Gun, blue, 24 fake dive, 1874, on State Farm on State Farm ready break. That’s 10 words and that’s literally as simple as it gets with no blocking assignments for the line. Do it need to be super long no but everyone needs there assignments and 5 words won’t cut it buddy
I coach football, it can be simpler than that, sometimes but not all of the time. There can be coded words to ensure things are simpler but it's not always feasible
They do, by a color and an even or odd number. Odd number can be a blitz for LBs, a certain color can be a zone for DBs
Scatter to west right tight F left 372 Y stick Z spot
Remember Tua’s TD miracle in the Natty…they asked Saban what play did you run and he was like “I know we ran Seattle” lol but its crazy how fast and long the play caller tells the QB the play. No wonder in the NFL the scoring is so low lol
Wanted cam so bad for my commanders FOR YEARS!! 🐐
I like him as an ex player more then the player.
He had some monster years. 😊
The end had me crying “THIS AINT STICKMAN ITS PICASSO OUT THERE”
As Doug Flutie said, football aint that complicated. Hand off the ball or drop back and hit the open guy. Coaches complicate shit to make people think they are some type of genius.
Nice hat Cam! I always wear a hat, but always a plain old baseball cap. I can’t get away with anything other than a baseball cap without getting complaints. You’re living the dream man!
Cam’s a personality for sure. I always liked him
The play calls between Sean Payton and Drew Brees were exceptionally long and complex, because the call contains two separate plays. Brees could choose 1 or 2, and then choose to audible certain players. Players around the league who played in that offense have said that other offenses not like that.
0:29 Him mispronouncing the word annunciate is actually hilarious to me 😂
Not all playbooks are like this. This is actually rare nowadays. Theyve dumbed down playcalling alot at the college and pro level. Payton is part of the old guard. Reason he chooses smart qbs. He still runs a more traditional west coast system
. . .And he is not winning another SB anytime Soon
@@BiffTannen-d5b Whatever you think of Sean, winning a single one is more than most will ever accomplish There has been roughly 528 NFL head coaches. 35 have won Super Bowls. Less than 7% of all people who coach NFL teams have won a Super Bowl, assuming that number on NFL head coaches isn't actually larger.

I had heard it said recently that football is chess crossed with rugby. Cam echoed that sentiment.
Had to pause when he said "Paper, scissor, Rock" 😂🤣 this dude is hilarious..
Well done Cam! I always respected his game and how he ALWAYS gave TD balls to kids. Well done Cam
I never thought i'd hear Jack Sparrow giving a detailed, insightful talk on football plays
I thought that was Slash. I'm embarrassed.
Im a high school football coach. My play calling is so much simpler. But, our game is so much simpler. An example of one of my plays is: Red (recievers,TE position) I (RB, QB Formation) Jet (motion) 31 Iso (Run Play QB reverse out hand to RB thru 1 hole)
If you break it down it’s not complicated at all. Just listen for your own assignment and the snap count
Yeah unless youre the QB then you need to know all of it like the back of your hand lol
@@yepdontcarebudyeah and you get 20x the money lol
Keep it simple. Cam Newton would make a terrific NFL coach ❤❤❤❤
I'm glad hes talking about this.... it seems like no one has ever really explained this
The dynamic between you two is irreplaceable.
When Fox is ready to give up on Brady, they should do a 3 man booth and reunite Cam and Greg Olsen
"Ya ain't playing paper scissors rock!" 🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Played mainly defense in college, bouncing between DB and LB. One year we lost a bunch of RBs to injuries, so I got moved to running back to help out.
Never played offense above a highs school level, and our HS coach was a moron. Our plays were literally as simple as “sweep right” and “rollout pass 1”
Trying to learn the play calling and personnel groupings on my first day as a D1 RB was FUCKING CRAZY.
"Pass left on 3" 😂
Same but only for scout team purposes 🤣
That's the complication of football. Each position is a specialty in itself. You can literally play football all your life, switch from defense to offense, and suddenly you're hearing a completely different language.
I'm not familiar with hockey or soccer, but I find myself wandering how many other sports are as complicated and intricate as football.
This is great stuff from cam
I get sensory overload watching this. 😂. The colors, the designs, the patterns…talking Xs and Os. That’s 100% brain activation there…right and left hemispheres collide.
In high school as a freshmen my coach would say a play and I would mess up bad UNTIL he told me “son just listen to the numbers and that’s your route you run.” After that football was so easy lol but before I knew that I had anxiety every time I heard a play call lol s/o coach braswell from hoggard high school Wilmington NC. The best school in NC! And it’s always F HANOVER! lol
Well, this sums up why Cam isn't playing football anymore. Overall, he never met expectations to be as awesome as he should have been.
This video is why I respect pro's so much and they actually earn every penny of their salary. Maybe they are spoiled and entitled but they have to remember a lot of plays and perform every day at the highest level. Gotta respect it
I might be wrong but if I remember right the long play calls and huge playbooks kinda came from Sam Wyche at the Bengals. Correct me if I'm wrong tho.
Maybe .
I’m respect cam saying what he said, everyone steals signs everybody is always looking for an edge. Ohio state fans should pay attention
Cam, Ryan Clark, and Bubba dub should be calling games together
That was informative. Thanks!!
Like to see more of this. It’s cool.
0:33. That’s a new word!
Lmfao wanna bet low brow fans of his probably think it’s a real word and think you’re a racist for even bringing it up! Lol ;)
Lmao I can’t even watch the video I’m like wtf he said lol
I think the coaches able to simplify play calls will be the next big step for the NFL because it opens more physically talented guys to the league, tons of guys have the physical talent but don’t have the brain to remember 378 different novels just to understand play calls
Cam has become way more likable ever since he started doing this.
In baseball, the third base coaches use hand signals to tell the hitters & runners what to do. Sometimes, teams do use numbers as well
Cam is right my high school coach played NFL had me calling these type calls as a sophomore
Coaches name or it didn't happen
Sure you did.

Ima just go with the good ole classic “annexation of Puerto Rico” play. Never fails
“Paper, scissors, rock” is a crazy order
You should come to Australia, that's how we call it 😅
Go back to the days of the QB drawing routes on his hand in the huddle, identifying the line scrimmage with his hand before the snap, yelling “shotgun,” when not behind the center, then “hut, hut, hike!” Very important: City trees are to be identified as first down markers and the mailboxes are the end-zones.
Spider 2Y Banana, greatest call ever
Great video. thanks, Cam!
Cam just explaining that he can’t learn the West Coast Offense. Bill Walsh was a genius. Most of these QBs today can’t learn it. Sure is funny how Montana, Young, Favre, Marino, Jim Kelly, etc. didn’t have issues with it.
1:34 talking about simplifying the play call.. bro simplify your outfit 😅
Boo!!!
😂😂😂
Announciated is basically the baby of Announcement and Annunciate.😂
What’s the play called when you don’t jump on a fumble in the Super Bowl?
Makes you realize on some teams a touchdown is a bona fide miracle.
Learned something
It’s always been crazy to me that football is so technical from a planning level, yet those guys sustain so many head injuries.
The longer the play call, the more room for error. Plain and simple.
I can’t unhear the Rashad McCants “Get the fuck on” 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
“Enounciated” 😂😂
5:50 Most people (including me) still thought it was to stop lip reading.
It is also.
It’s that Living Color skit come to life!
Good clip!
The fact that he can’t even give the rationale for why play calls would be this long even if he didn’t agree says a lot. Those long plays often represent very specific alignments for different players, route combos, backfield action, protections, progression alerts etc
Could it be a one word play call? Yea but there are limitations there too.
So NFL coaches decided to give themselves the most options for success in a game by having long specific play calls because these guys play this game as a full time job. It’s different for HS and college when it isn’t their full time job. Learn the freaking language of the system and be a pro
Cam's in-depth football IQ is so underrated
Cam spoke the truth in this video!!
The only piece I don't get is the personnel component. If the right guy isn't already on the field do you really have enough time to recognize it, send the wrong guy to the sidelines, and get the right guy in and communicate everything to him so there are no issues?
Depends on the QB. A Manning type could see the people on the field isn’t the right personall and audible according. Cam would have to call timeout.
I'm just guessing, but I assume that's why you get "12 men on the field" calls. You call personnel packages first so they have the most time to get into position.
You absolutely have enough time you have about 35-40 seconds in between plays. So yes, usually they’ll call out the personnel first so in this case 13 personnel was probably called onto the field as the previous play was ending and the quarterback tells everybody the play once they in the huddle
Dont worry about that too much. I play semi professionell in Germany and even we get that done while the QB actually has to get the play from the Sideline. 30 seconds are way longer then you think, when you do this a lot
You underestimate how highly organized it all is, and there are fail safes ("checks") that are in place.
Really good stuff! Ima first timer..
Not knowing "Devery Henderson" is kinda annoying lol
