THE SNAP COUNT
The following instructions for installing the snap count will follow the same procedures as for all our plays, formations and shifts. It must be noted that the quarterback must vary the snap count which means change up the count so the defense can't get into a rhythm for when the ball is going to be snapped, this slows the defensive charge.
"Go — Color # - Color # — Hut"
The cadence must be used as a weapon. As such, by starting the cadence on "Go", we will find that defensive linemen have a greater tendency to jump or move. This gives the offensive linemen an advantage. The reason, even though defensive coaches talk about starting all of their drills on ball movement, this practice is not followed in every drill. Whether it is warm-ups, or boredum or loss of energy, you will find most defensive drills starting on "Go" thus, starting our snap count on "Go" tends to make defensive linemen jump or move, this helps slow their aggressiveness.
If the ball is not going to be snapped on first sound the quarterback will always use the command " Go " to start the cadence. Thus, your offense must get to the L.O.S. after breaking from the huddle and get set.
