Because Peyton Manning probably won’t be saying “Omaha” again. Blame Eli Manning.
If you’ll recall, Peyton — in true Peyton fashion — danced around the issue when he was asked the meaning of the audible during the 2014 playoffs.
“I know a lot of people ask what Omaha means,” he said ahead of the Broncos’ AFC championship game against the Patriots. “Omaha is a run play, but it could be a pass play or a play-action pass depending on a couple things: when, which way we’re going, the quarter and the jerseys that we’re wearing. So it varies, really, play to play. So, that’s — there’s your answer to that one.”
Right.
Thankfully, Eli narrowed it down to none of those.
The younger Manning brother revealed the true meaning of “Omaha” during a for fans Tuesday night.
Here’s the audio of :
“‘Omaha’ was in the playbook,” Eli said. “There was actually a sheet that said ‘Omaha’ at the top, and basically ‘Omaha’ was maybe we change the play, or maybe when I was changing protection, or (Giants guard David) Diehl had to tie his shoe or something and was taking forever and the play clock’s running down. And ‘Omaha’ just told everybody to put their hand in the ground, shut up, and the ball’s about to be snapped.
“So I would say ‘Omaha’ and I would say it again and then say ‘set hut’ and do whatever you think you need to be doing and let’s go play football.”
So there you have it.
