After John Parker Romo’s field goal attempt pushed wide right at the end of the second quarter, San Antonio Brahmas coach Hines Ward let out a groan as he paced the sideline and looked up at the scoreboard.Access and transparency have been central focuses in the new XFL, and as the Brahmas made their debut with an 18-15 loss to the St. Louis Battlehawks on Sunday in the Alamodome, the ABC broadcast offered a peek behind the curtain.
Just moments after the Brahmas elected to kick a field goal on fourth-and-2 from the 11-yard line to take a 6-3 lead early in the third quarter, Ward was asked if he considered keeping the offense on the field. Quarterback Jack Coan was audible most of the time he was on the field, from play calls in the huddle to checks at the line of scrimmage.San Antonio Brahmas open first season with shocking loss in front of XFL’s largest crowd
The Brahmas plan to implement “dummy calls” to send false signals to opponents who are trying to decipher San Antonio’s code words, Ward said. The availability of audio threatens to make that hurdle even more challenging, allowing opponents to learn the cadence of San Antonio’s snap count. Coan said one option for the Brahmas is huddling more to keep signals from being intercepted at the line of scrimmage.
