And the pace of chips offense negates any sign stealing, if you waste time on the signs you will fail to get your call and defense on the same page.

"The sideline signals mean his quarterback, who will be Mark Sanchez this week against the Packers, doesn't have to relay the call to his teammates. Instead, they look to the signalers for everything they need to know: formation, play call and snap count."

I looked it up a few months back after watching an eagles game.
