Stealing signs, as Spygate taught us, is not just a baseball thing. And it's common that when a team faces one of its former longtime players, it will change up its terminology slightly just so that player's new team can't gain an advantage.
Well, the Chicago Bears seem to think that defensive end Israel Idonije, now with the Detroit Lions, tipped his new team off about what defensive schemes the Bears were running.

The funniest thing about this story is that there was no story about Webb feeding the Vikings calls. Webb probably was asked but was unaware that there actually were plays (other than the 7 step dropback sack on 3)/

lol good one.
Conisdering Izzy wasnt here for one day under the new regime if the D is getting exploited by former players who never played for them thats their own fault.
