Then Gruden pounced.

“Call something at Auburn that’s a little verbal,” Gruden said, obviously knowing the answer to the question. “What would be a little verbal? Any recollection on that?

Newton: “Um.”

“Gimme something,” Gruden said. “What’s an Auburn play sound like?”

“I mean, you’re putting me on the — on the spot,” Newton said.

Are you forgetting after that he then went on to explain that Auburn's plays were not like that and were not verbal. He went on to say an example was play 36. When the coach showed play 36 guess what, All the players including Newton knew where to line up and what play was called.

"simplistic = fast" Newton had to know what 36 meant and at the same time execute it at a fast pace.
