Hudspeth: UL must 'reevaluate' short-yardage plan

[Just1More]

LOL. I've seen linemen jump for many reasons. I've also seen teams run 2 QB schemes and it not throw off their rhythm. I disagree that having Nixon inserted will change the way a lineman blocks. In fact, many teams run various formations from the shotgun to under center which would, hypothetically be as big a factor as having another QB in. His assertion that having Nixon in the game would cause a false start or better yet, a bad snap, is not logical IMO. We had over 10 penalties against Boise. I don't think any were when Nixon came in to play QB.

Just think how many more penalties we'd get if we added cadence issues to this OL! I think this cadence issue is a very marginal argument. It may or may not be something to consider... but the bigger considerations massively outweigh it.

False starts based on cadence tend to occur with the QB who has the harder count.

(I don't know where either QB fits in that regard.


With two QB, not jumping requires O-Line interpretation perfection on 4 different count cadences.

---mass x velocity

--probably need some physics help on this---but on a sneak hardly any options with little forward speed and on the deeper snap you have the movement forward at a greater speed and the option to change the impact point

Nixon was 3 for 3 on rushes against Boise but had a bad snap and he slipped on the next 2 times

He seems to slip and trip a lot.

How does having Nixon in there throw off the rhythm of the O-Line. Playcalling is coming from the sideline and he has nothing to do with their tempo and blocking schemes.

You don't think different QBs have a different rhythm for calling for the ball to be hiked?

Down.....set.....Omaha.....HIKE!

Whatever it is there have been several times over the last 1.25 seasons when Hauck / Jennings was driving the ball down the field and Hud puts in Nixon on a short yardage play and someone on the o-line false starts.

Am I crazy or have others noticed this also?

Anyone who played or coached knows it matters..

Anyone who played or coached also knows that Dion Wallace was not the best running back we've ever had but you hold on to that one also.

That's your opinion.. I couldn't care less what you think about mine. Wallace was a beast.

They have different tones to their voice. Not sure about the rhythm but linemen are now taught to watch the ball being snapped rather than any type of voice cues. Do I think there is a difference between two different signal callers? Yes. Do I think that it automatically causes an offense to fall apart due to these minute differences? NO. Teams change QB's all the time in the middle of a drive and they don't necessarily fall apart.

So basically whatever you state on here is fact.....But whatever anybody else states is their opinion? Gotcha.
