If the in game coaching is being cheapened by reviewing videos of the previous series, then there’s no point for the Sunday am film session anymore. Or before every practice, for that matter.

But…that’s not…in game. I don’t get your point

If film study is valuable after the game, it should be viewed as valuable during the game. Maybe even more so….too get to put the feedback to use on the next series

Except I don’t think that’s really apples to apples. Post game film review is primarily about player evaluation. It’s impossible, in real time, for a coach to evaluate all 30-40 players who see the field during the course of a game. Therefore, the film is almost a necessity.
The iPads are being used for strategic changes within the game itself. Something, in my opinion (and obviously Chuck’s), a good coach and his staff should be able to do on their own.
I don’t think what you’re talking about is Chuck’s point.
Imagine a hypothetical world where kickers can’t take practice kicks on the sidelines but a new rule change will allow them to. It’s valid for a kicker to say that their skill is in being able to kick cold and that letting everyone practice on the sidelines will diminish their skill.
It doesn’t mean that the kicker wouldn’t practice on the sidelines or during team practices, just that the rule change will close the gap between them and other kickers. That’s Chuck’s argument with the technology from my understanding.
