IIRC Fran specifically said he wasn't accusing them of anything.

Frankly, Duke just did a fantastic job reading both the defense and the offense.

It's unfortunately not impossible with this team. Nixon is very good but he's not without tells. Just as a fan there's a handful of stuff I can spot; for example, on a red zone play when you see three receivers and one lines up oddly far into the weak side there's a good chance the No 1 option is the corner endzone.

In the case of defense we've a strong bias toward playing man, and also a big secondary without a dense box. So when we line up like this on a 3rd and 9 it's pretty obvious a blitz is coming, and Duke is already set up perfectly for the RB screen pass. I copied the link right before Mensah signals motion. This might've been the play call, or he might be reading the blitz and that signals a hot route. Either way it wouldn't have required sign stealing, just astute observation.

There's other stuff too. It's the kind of stuff I'd chat with other fans about over a beer, but I don't really want to share more than just the principle of it publicly for obvious reasons.
