I should like to point out that memorizing the calls in Wally's complex playbook isn't the biggest obstacle to assimilating into the offense as a wide receiver. It may not even be the second biggest. It isn't like you run the lines on the paper. There's a lot more to it.
Each route has options based on coverage, leverage, defensive personnel, offensive personnel groupings, motions, and shifts. Add in the fact that each route may have significant variations in release quickness, separation, depth, and scramble duties as well as in-line and downfield blocking assignments. Multiply each position and route by the hundreds of plays in Wally's playbook and you have a damn PhD in Advanced Wide Receiver by the time you're done.
Dissing Sammy because it took time to learn every damn position in the scheme (which he did) is absurd on its face. Typical Lame Monday Morning Fat Ass Coaching, to be honest.
