The plays are numbered (1 - 90 if you use three cards in the wristband) and they written out without the formations usually. The coach on the sideline will signal in the group (2 or 3 wide receivers for example) and then signal in the number of the play. The QB will look at his wristband card and then read the play right off the card. For example, the coach signal in the formation "Far Right" and the play number "7". The QB gets to the huddle, Calls the formation Far Right and reads the play "866 Backs Flat Queen.". On the wrist band, it just reads "7) 866 Backs Flat Queen" so you can get a lot of plays on the wrist band, especially when you are signaling the formations.

What is a option play in football?

An option in football is play that attacks a specific defender by leaving him unblocked and forcing him to have to defend two different players. One of the players is usually the quarterback and the other is a running back. The quarterback will read the reaction of the defender and either give or keep the ball. The offense has two "options" on the play for who can be the ball carrier. Triple option plays involve a third possible option for the offense.

Because he gets the snap of the ball, can change receiver routes, read the coverage the defense is in, calls the play in the huddle so that the rest can follow, and must have knowledge of every play. He must also have the respect of each player. and the fate of the play is in his hands whether is an accurate pass, keeping it or handing the ball of to the running backs.
