To be honest, I don't think it's going to speed up the playcalling all that much.

Where it will help will be in terms of receiving the playcall in hostile environments. Now instead of an elongated play call being drowned by noise, just a number will be called instead. Smith can then refer to the wristband and call the play associated with the number.

it will speed up playcalling only if Raye doesn't have to search around for the play himself. If he knows right away what play he wants to run it should make it much faster.

WOW

This coaching staff must be pretty stupid.

Hold up player. You must be new here.

The communication breakdown isn't between Jimmy Raye and Alex Smith, but Jimmy Raye and his Quality Control / Quarterbacks Coach. Alex Smith played 11 games (started 10) last season. During that stretch, Jason Michael relayed the plays to Smith.

This season, Mike Johnson relays the plays to Smith. The communication lacking between Johnson and Raye led to plays coming out late. All of this information was confirmed in Singletary's Press Conference today (if you had watched it).

As of today (in practice), Smith will be given a code instead of a full play, which he then relays to his huddle through his wrist band. In this way, Jimmy Raye is simply giving Mike Johnson a code, which is then transfered over to Smith. And if you're wondering why Raye doesn't simply relay that play to Smith directly, NFL rules prohibit transmissions outside of the sidelines.

So yeah, it definitely hasn't been one full season and one game, kid.

First off, I'm a not a "player" (I just f**k alot). And what does being new here have to do with knowing my s**t.

I am aware of that the issues were and I don't care what the f**kin problem was. I was just stating that it took them way tooooo long to address it and all it took was a simple god damn wrist band and eliminating the middle man.

This was happening all last year as well if you didn't notice. We burned countless timeouts for no reason and were left without any.

Yeah he wore that play-band a lot during the 2007 season (during the preseason, and when he played with that taped-up prednisone arm).
