  "account": "Indianapolis - In the Colts' defensive hierarchy, Cam Bynum assumes an unusual role as the safety with the green dot speaker. Coach Lou Anarumo conveys crucial play instructions to Bynum, who must relay them to teammates within 15 seconds of the play clock. Bynum, traditionally a free safety, wears the green dot as the team experiments with rotating linebackers. This gives him the responsibility of relaying complex defensive information, even when field conditions make it challenging to hear every word. Bynum's extensive training and cardio workouts prepare him for the role's physical demands of running around the defense. The communication device allows Anarumo to give Bynum valuable insights, helping him understand the nuances of the defense beyond his primary role. Bynum emphasizes the importance of relaying Anarumo's instructions precisely to ensure the team's cohesive execution on the field.",
  "summary": "Cam Bynum's doing a lot more than simply relaying the play call from Lou Anarumo to the rest of the defense.",
