Monkeys see, monkeys do?


The NFL is interesting exactly because it is a monkey see, monkey do
league. When one team has a great idea, it's quickly adapted by each
team that sees it as a fit. In order to differentiate themselves,
teams are forced to be innovative because the competition quickly
catches up. So-n-so's doing a silent snap count with their leg? Great
idea! And it is, really. When a team is on the road, a visual clue to
the center is more reliable than an audible one.
