No it didn't, do you really think that they were gonna run the same plays Jon Gruden knew by heart?

GTFO.
By the end of the week, Gruden had the Bucs' defense knowing the Raiders better than the Raiders knew himself. Gruden stood up in meetings, and player by player, went through the Raiders' offensive roster, giving them pointers

Obviously they didn't know they're playbook exactly but obviously he knew what some of their plays were as I'm sure the plays he ran when they were there weren't canned.

Teams study one-another so much that they practically do know their playbook. It's not about what plays a team runs, it all about how and when to use them. Do teams draw up different looks for particular games...sure...but for the most part, even the hardcore fan can look at the New England Patriots offense & tell you who they are getting the ball to on most plays.

Stop over-thinking this...it's 11 vs. 11 & the name of the game is to stop the other team. The Patriots executed on Monday night and the Jets didn't, plain and simple. What's knowing offensive signals have to do with execution? Nothing.

Can you even read? He gave them pointers, you can watch hours upon hours of film for the same <Censored>. He knew tendencies, not plays.

Get over yourself.

I think your just naming names.

Mike Peterson is Garbo and has been Garbo since before 2008.
