The New York Times has a fascinating look at the laminate cheat sheets that NFL coaches use. These cards are all the rage in the league and cover things from play categories to clock management strategies and everything in between.
Billick can review clock-management situations to remind him when his offense can safely take a knee. He can peruse a list of the officials’ calls that can and cannot be challenged. There is a formula for when to go for a 2-point conversion. A spot is even reserved for the names of the referees working the game, so Billick can act as if he remembers them well.
I can picture a couple of my buddies adopting these for Madden in the near future.

That almost looks like a cheat sheet for a person who has never seen or heard of football.
No doubt. In the case of some NFL offensive coordinators, that may be the case.. ;)
