    Title comes from an old football quote, "It's not the X's and the O's but the Jimmys and the Joes," meaning the players on the field often trump even superior play calling / strategy / tactics.

      thanks for making the puzzle accessible to someone with almost zero football knowledge :) this came out really good given the constraint

        Thank you! Glad you enjoyed! Football stuff is definitely a little bonus / Easter egg.

          Nice! I really liked how it worked on both levels — a good clean solve without the theme, and then the theme positioning of the players!

            Thanks so much!
