Translation ( just in case you still dont understand ) ... Manning might make the same gestures and signals and yell the same words at the line like Apple Apple and what not, but they attach different plays and different formations and different routes to the audibles every week. So tho Huard can probably act like Manning in practice, it really does nothing for the Patriots, cause they wont know what plays or routes Manning is audibling to. The sound and gestures are the same. The meanings are different every week. Practicing it is a waste. Thats not to say that maybe Belecheck and the Pats D didnt catch on to the audibles and plays as that specific game progressed, but theres no way they could have gameplanned to answer Manning audibles, cause theres no way they would know what they meant. Half of them are dummy calls anyways.

yeah, I misunderstood what you said the first time, thought you meant he never used the same words/numbers again.
That being said, I wouldn't call it a waste, and well... the results show it wasn't, I don't think the idea was to figure out what he was calling, it was to get how he acts, and prepare not to jump early and get confused watching him.
That being said, I can only recall one case of a team clearly knowing the audible of a QB, the Pats vs. Miami it was a game in the late 90's. I say that because I'm pretty sure it was Marino and he called an audible at the line, Todd Collins turns to the defense and motions with his arm in a slant motion... needless to say, Collins walked right through the pass and into the endzone and it was clear he knew what was comming.
So yeah, i'd be shocked if any top QB uses the same calls each week with the same names, especially with todays technology.
