"How good is the system? Good enough that the New York Jets signed an
exclusive contract with the company that prohibits any other team in
the AFC East from signing up to use it this year. The software passed
an unexpected test when Brett Favre was traded to the Jets right before
training camp and needed a crash course in the Jets offense. The team
credited Huddle with getting the legend up to date. The Cornhuskers,
and a handful of high school teams, are also using the system.
At the heart of Huddle is the ability to watch game footage from the comfort of one's couch. Teams capture and log their video using their standard methods; Huddle seamlessly, and immediately, offers the video on its shared site. Just like the Blackberry freed the businessman from the cube, Huddle lets players leave the video room. Coaches can log into their accounts and tag video with telestrations, voice, and text. They can then send those clips to players for their review or even create tests, to check just how well a player knows the playbook or realizes his in-game mistakes. Diagrams can be created using Xbox-like technology and then linked to video examples."
