Thanks! During a 5 second play with all the commotion conversation would be useless. However, if you* could hack the frequency and yell out a simple receiver number 1,2 or 3.....it would be plausible to inform the QB* to let it rip to the open receiver. I wouldn't be surprised if a team* has tried this. It would turn their QB into the GOAT!*

The radio shuts off with 15 seconds left on the play clock.

Allegedly.

 

Some say that is not the case in Foxborough.

 

I'd virtually guarantee the equipment and related systems are not checked at games or enforced in any way...and I'd further guarantee that a 2nd year EE major at MIT could have the thing tweaked in 10 minutes so that communication at any time is possible without anyone tracing it.

And now you know how he came to be the GOAT.

"And that’s why certain allegations — including that the Pats were using a radio frequency outside the NFL’s purview to ­illegally communicate information to quarterback Tom Brady during the game — were seemingly ignored."

 

But it wasn’t just a matter of filming opposing team’s coaches — it was also how that information was allegedly passed to Brady.

As the scandal broke, the NFL was investigating a possible violation into the number of radio frequencies the Patriots were using during the Jets game, sources told ESPN’s Chris Mortensen, who reported at the time that the Pats did not “have a satisfactory explanation when asked about possible irregularities in its communication setup during the game.”

 

Offensive plays would be called based on stolen signals and the information relayed straight to Brady’s helmet, O’Leary theorizes.

In this scenario, the extra frequency is critical, as it allows the team to do something in real time with the stolen signals, out of earshot of the NFL monitor, and change its plays accordingly.

 

If there’s an open channel during the play itself, you can also alert the quarterback to open receivers he may not see. O’Leary repeats a rumor that Pats backup quarterback Doug Flutie once said he accidentally picked up Brady’s helmet during the 2005 season. “He was amazed that the coaches kept right on speaking to Brady past the 15-second cutoff, right up until the snap,” ­according to O’Leary. “The voice in Tom Brady’s helmet was explaining the exact defense he was about to face.”

You can probably do the same thing legally if you run up tempo and snap before 15 seconds.
