Question about Columbia signaling:

Historically, when a team had two or three signalers on the sidelines waving their arms furiously, one or two of the signalers was a fake, to make sure that the defense could not pick up on the play call.

At Columbia, are you saying that the second and third signalers are there for specific position groups?

If so, I would imagine that, from series to series in the same game, the signalers change position groups, again to keep the defense from connecting specific signals to specific plays.

If so, that would be another place where the chain could break. Can you imagine being a split end lined up on the far end of the field away from his bench suddenly asking himself, "Wait, am I supposed to watch my guy with the red baseball cap or blue baseball cap?"

Division of labor is the easiest way to get your signs stolen. The o-line needs much less information and as a result you can identify the difference in run/pass signals very quickly.
