Dang. Whatever happened to, "Jimmy, you go to the VW Beetle and break right. Chuck, you take 3 steps past Mrs. Miller's driveway and I'll throw it to you. Stevie – you go long"?
It’s tough but you group certain types of words together certain patterns makes it a bit better and some words are just code for positions and then the code for the routes type of protectio. Takes time to get use to
"Here we go boys" not sure why that gave me goosebumps. I guess reminds me of my old QB jesse wilson telling us the play in the huddle and making sure I run the right route
I feel like it’s not too hard to remember because the play is breaking down a responsibility for each player. All you have to do is break the play down one by one until you understand the assignment for each player. That would make saying the play to them so much better because you know exactly what each player should be doing
As complicated as this sounds, it is actually much simpler than the old method of naming each play and the player needed to memorize what each play call means. With the expanded play call, its all spelled out. A call back in the old West Coast Offense days might be "Red Right, Strong, Rip, 24 Double Square on one", and the QB and receivers all need to just memorize what their route is for that play.
I hated Peyton when he was at Tennessee and I was in high school. But for some reason once he hit the NFL I really started liking him and the more I watched and listened to him over the years he's one of my favorites. I played QB so I always tended to notice them more. Being a white lefty that was pretty mobile and a 49ers fan, Steve Young was my shit growing up though lol
What makes play calling so easy is each skill position outside the QB only has to know their specific section and know codes to listen for. QB has to know the whole sequence so he knows what routes to watch or if to hand it off, or if the balls coming back to him. I played slot receiver (X), sometimes wide out (Z), and when I was in school we had a code too. All I had to know was my place in the code sequence and what the numbers or code words meant. It was very straight forward. The rest was execution.
First he call out the protection and formation. The routes for receivers and TE. If the defense makes a shift "CAN" is the audible for an outside zone power run. A play you would call on 2&short situation
Back in the early 2000s, as fans of the Titans, our section in stands could predict with a good degree of accuracy if it was a pass or run based on how long it took McNair call the play in the huddle. Seems to tip off the defense.

Cool outfit Peyton.
Peyton ….

To break it down:
The Original Play:
Explode to Gun rub right flip zebra scat left Y drag X hook F Trail Can 52 Sprint Draw
Explode to Gun: Shotgun/Pistol formation
Rub Right: RB on the right side (CMC or Deebo- since its the Niners)
Flip Zebra: the Z Receiver Flips sides from L to R of the formation
Scat Left: Scat back lines up on the L … opposite of the Z that was flipped
Y Drag: TE (Kittle) Drag route
X Hook: WR1 Hook Route
F Trail: Flanker (WR2) Trail
Can= Can it or Cancel all that shit….
52 Sprint Draw: 5 Back (probably the Scat Back) Draw up the 2 Hole
"Here we go boys" not sure why that gave me goosebumps. I guess reminds me of my old QB jesse wilson telling us the play in the huddle and making sure I run the right route
Peyton needs to hurry up and give OC a shot before he gets too old (*cough* GIANTS! *cough*). But retirement looks like fun

i’m rolling at the end 😂😭 “you can lead a horse to water..”
Peyton catching himself and needing to audible out of talking about Deebo Samuel lol 😂

This is why college QBs struggle when they get to the NFL and their team sucks and they change Offensive Coordinators every year.
So are all the words telling each player what to do basically? From left wide out to right?
Peyton and his commentary are must see TV. The way he breaks it down, like what more do you want as a viewer
Still got it
We in Omaha?
Why don’t thay all just know it as play 57

Personel group,strong side, protection,motion, then what the wrs, and running backs.
I understood "wide drag" and "x hook" and that's it. Nothing else made sense to me play-wise.
The crazy thing is everyone in the huddle doesn’t need to know that shit lmao they just need to listen to what THEY have to do
West Coast terminology is so wordy and particular for the sake of being wordy and Particular 🤦🏿♂️
He's also Explainin Manning
What makes play calling so easy is each skill position outside the QB only has to know their specific section and know codes to listen for. QB has to know the whole sequence so he knows what routes to watch or if to hand it off, or if the balls coming back to him.

It’s like ordering the girls Starbucks order.
Those are a couple of nice fish. 😉 Wtg Emma
Now I get that CAN is a kill call! Thanks you Mannings
What does "Omaha" mean?
Love to hear Peyton break down film so much.
A kids game can’t be that complicated. Good lord.
The Manning brothers were 5-1 vs Brady in Championship games. These segments are masterclasses!
Too complicated. "Lets just run a go route" ! Chad Powers
Jesus loves you all, turn to him, trust in him.
All the verbiage to run a 3-yard quick out.
That was awesome, love 18, not so much 10
Damn

and they wonder why Men die quicker 😅

We're waiting
Why didn’t he just tell everybody in the whole play 57 they should all know play 57. He shouldn’t have to read it out.
He's a SCATMAN
Damn why is that complicated 😭😭😭
Lol the gimmie something followed by the point to the ear he was locked in
I could listen to Peyton talk playcalling and audibles all day…
