Concern? Offensive signals still not installed.

...delay of game penalties (a problem for years) while the QB stands and look at the sideline for help.

I am no strategist but if I wanted to manage my offensive game plan and be sure we ran what I wanted (as we will need to do to manage time and the O part of the game) I would run in players with the play, especially early on in the season.

Let's get it right regardless of the method and at least stop the plethora of delay of game penalties.

The delay of game problems were specifically a result of Randy Sander's gameplan of audibling from the sideline.

Wow. That's kind of huge.

How can you have a football team with know sideline signals at this point in the year? What's LK's plan? Run out into the huddle every play to make the call?

Someone should shoot him an email and let him know the season starts in 3 weeks.

Let's leave it up to the coaches guys. No need to panic. If they are concerned, they are working them in as they deem best. As stated earlier, they could shuttle in subs if necessary.

When you get paid a couple million a year to coach, I might be more incl;ined to listen to your concerns and advice, until then, chill out. These coaches know what they are doing. The players are learning the plays and the formations, they have been for quite sometime now. The hand signals will come, hell Heath SHuler never picked up the hand signals and he did ok.

We'll be ok, if we can run 5 or so plays very well.

Uh... if they get the signal wrong, they could end up in the wrong place anyways... So not a good argument.

I honestly can't wait to see what this offense is going to look like this year. I'm intrigued.

If they get the signal wrong, at least everyone is going to be running the same play.

What's the big deal? It's not like you can't just run tell a WR "I Right Y Jet 36 Blast" and send him onto the field to tell the QB. It's old school, but it's still done that way in a lot of places.

It's a football play; not a nuclear secret. It's just not nearly as complicated as people want it to be.

I know for me, the rules have always been pretty basic. A formation can't be more than three syllables and a play can't be more than a two-digit number and one word.

I've been one place that didn't follow this principle and turned it into rocket science. It was the most disjointed and most impotent offense I've ever been around or ever will be.
