It's not like they are just killing time. During long snap count, the QB is surveying the defense, and making a decision about whether to audible into another play that might work better. The fact that they audible as much as they do is part of why a QB new to the system often doesn't become successful immediately.


The first play they ran tempo against Buffalo resulted in an INT. Maybe that's why they don't do it. (They did run some tempo later in the game with pretty good results.)

It IS like they're killing time though. Routinely snapping it with 1-2 seconds is a hallmark of the Albin-era. Hell, what was his formula he said? The fewer the plays they run the better chance they have to win? Holy shit.

I'm not doubting it as much this season, for a lot of obvious reasons, but I do question - like I said, it's an Albin philosophy - Rourke didn't need the extra time, we held him back. ExCat mentioned keeping Toledo on their heals a bit, and I agree. The more time you take, the more time you give the DEFENSE time to rest and think about whats about to happen. I'm not saying we need to run to the line and quick snap it, but Albin has always been a clock bleeder - and to my biggest gripe about him he doesn't try to hammer a decisive victory, he tries to bleed it out and hopefully not lose.

Need that on a shirt.

Absolute best Post of the year. Not only would it be a great shirt, but a great crowd chant should the game get away from us. Do you think that the coaching staff would catch on to the fact that not only is the opposing defense clued into what the Bobcat Offense is doing, but the entire fan base as well?


Yeah, because we should be snapping at 28 on the play clock and running 115 plays a game with this offense. Put down your controller and turn off the X-Box. That is not the make up of this team with its skill set.


Now do last season.

This is an issue in philosophy and urgency, not the roster.

We thrive on long possessions and keeping the ball out of the other teams hands. As a RUN-BALANCED offense, it's not like a video game where you can switch playstyles to RUN and SHOOT, SPREAD, etc. We don't have the personnel to run those effectively (scat backs, etc). I like Pistol and the misdirection built in it. My only wish is that we use the TEs more on misdirection pass plays. It opens up more run lanes on future downs.



EXACTLY!!

I agree that Ohio hasn't been using the TEs as well as they used to. They always seem to have a lot of good TEs, so use them. ;)

I also like misdirection in the form of running plays. Yes, reverses are good, but they can also hand it to a back in the slot who goes inside against the grain while the QB and the RB are both headed wide as if running the option.
