...now in the huddle, Brodie says "32 Dive, on one, on one, ready...Break!" Just like my son's 10 year old team used to do...

to both parts. I love the commercial too. And "32 Dive on one"... I've got to believe that type of play calling could work at the pro level just as well as what the commercial type of play call.

If that was the case, then why dont all of the real NFL coaches use this simplified terminology?

Even when Al Saunders was here, you sort of knew what plays were going to be called when, and his playbook/terminology was supposed to be some of the most complex out there. For example, inside of the 5 yard line when Priest was our RB, it was almost a given it was going to be a sweep either left or right for the TD. Instead of giving it a complicated name, call it what I called it from my couch at home. Sweep left.
