Greg Bishop of the NY Times is reporting that eight video tapes that show the New England Patriots recorded play calling signals from five opponents in six games were sent to the NFL.

Matt Walsh who worked for the Pats from 1997 to 2003 handed over the tapes after an agreement was met that indemnifies Walsh from all future legal fees.

The tapes show offensive and defensive signals from opposing coaches. They are from both regular season and playoff games.

Regular-season games against the Miami Dolphins, the Buffalo Bills, the Cleveland Browns and the San Diego Chargers and against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2002 American Football Conference championship game.

The infamous so called “walk though tape” of the Rams before the Super Bowl was not apart of these tapes. Walsh’s lawyer said “Mr. Walsh has never claimed to have a tape of the walk-through.”

The New York Times obtained a list of the Walsh videotapes. The information was later confirmed by Walsh’s lawyer, Michael Levy, from the Washington offices of McKee Nelson.

In this report from the Times these tapes are described as sophisticated because of the angles and the amount of camera’s used. They say the Pittsburgh 2002 AFC Championship game tape was the most extensive showing two camera angles on each play.
