iPad Makes NFL Team Efficient –Cagle

The NFL is still heavily militant about not allowing digital devices on the field during games, but they may now be used in the locker rooms until kickoff. Previously, electronic gizmos were removed from locker rooms 90 minutes prior to starting time.

The Broncos turned to PlayerLync, a Colorado-based firm, for its digital playbook. The app allows users to write notes and highlight plays using the tablet’s touchscreen, according to the newspaper. The playbooks are saved on remote servers for future use, if needed. In the past, paper playbooks were trashed the following week. And, the ability to push out new plays means no more late-night gatherings because the coach wants to add a hook-and-lateral play.
