Reggie Wayne Reveals What Peyton Manning's 'Omaha' Audible Means

Peyton Manning’s “Omaha” audible has long been the NFL’s most famous pre-snap adjustment. It’s found its way onto commercials, Saturday Night Live sketches, late night television monologues and the like. Now, thanks to Reggie Wayne, we finally know what it actually means.

As a member of the Indianapolis Colts, Reggie caught passes from Manning for 10 seasons, so if anybody is a reliable source on the matter…it’s him. On Sunday morning, he spoke with the NFL Network and begrudgingly — at the urging of Deion Sanders –finally revealed what the audible actually means.

“Omaha means he’s going the other way.” When asked to elaborate, he continued “If it’s a run to the right, if it’s ‘Dive right,’ Omaha is going to be ‘Dive left'” which caused the NFL Network crew to erupt.

So there it is, mystery solved, right? Well, maybe not because, as Kurt Warner pointed out, maybe Reggie was sent there as a mole meant to misdirect America and every opposing defense Peyton will face in the future. Reggie even admits at the end of the clip “I can promise you this, that ‘Omaha’ is not going to be the same thing today.”
 
I think I'm with Kurt on this one.

Peyton doesn't use it the way you would a call to flip a play. With any audible you yell it out a couple of times to make sure everyone's got it, like when you see a QB yell "kill, kill, kill" to run a second playcall.

Peyton will start the cadence then go "Ohama hut!"
 
He's just giving up what people already know. I think that's just one way he uses it. I don't think it always means the opposite but I do know it means he is making an adjustment whether it's a different route or the opposite route.
 
Omaha is his cadence...... Yesterday the dude hit the patriots with a "omaaahut" :lol: it was a run btw :hmm:
 
Honestly, half the time I don't think it means shit. Just causes the defense to overthink at times. I wouldn't pay any attention to it.
 
The most recognizible audible in the world is used as a X factor...varies week to week and don't be surprised if varies quarter to quarter, if it means ANYTHING at all.....IMO
