Erik Boland writes today in Newsday that Favre talked about how he has set up a weekly meeting between him and his receivers weekly to make sure they are both on the same page and that from that, it allows for more flexibility in-game:

Favre said in a way it resulted from one of the weekly meetings he has with his receivers. No coaches. Just receivers.

Favre has been doing it all season, sessions in which the quarterback and his receivers share the floor equally, learning and exchanging ideas. “We’ll do it today,” Favre said. “We’ll watch practice [the tape]. First and foremost, and this goes for anyone – any team, any level of play – it’s not so important you know what the other team is doing; it’s more important to know what you’re doing first and that’s what we try to get accomplished. How can we make our routes better? How can I make my read better? If we have a check, let’s make sure we’re all on the same page . . . I think it’s important to know what we’re doing first, and then we’re about who we’re playing second.” …

“You can draw up all the plays you want,” Favre said. “But it really comes down to the individuals, and that’s what we figure out in those meetings.”

It’s great to see that he’s brought this tradition from Green Bay to New York and that the extra effort will pay off for both groups.
