Cadence

We are a spread offense Jet team. To start our motion if we are in the gun, we have the quarterback nod to the back coming in motion. Because the timing for the snap for the Jet sweep is so important, we use a regular verbal cadence from the quarterback for the snap. All of jet series motion is implied. All other motions are called and signaled the same way. If we are under center, the motion is timed to the cadence and no signal is given for any of our motions.

I would also be interested in a discussion about some of the basics of how you implement the Jet series in the Spread...

Lets keep this thread going. we struggled this year and went to the spread and incorporated a Jett Package. Getting our guys into the perimeter RIGHT NOW had a significant impact on our offense. Our problem was that we did this mid-season when we were 1-4 and our shotgun snap was a problem and haunted us. we will be in the spread DAY 1 next year running the jett package as our base offensive series. the snap must be perfected if you are going to run this package because that motion man is getting there right when the snap does. a high snap will botch the play.

Our primary set is doubles with one back. we will also go to empty look with FB in the slot position, providing an extra blocker. The package goes as follows

Jett (faking the trap or joker)
Trap (faking the jet)
Jett Waggle (traditional waggle routes)
QB Ctr (empty set and faking the jett)
Jett Revere
Jett fake reverse out of emtpy

we will run that Rip/Liz motion (looking like jett) and throw all of our quick stuff: screens, slants, hitches, fades, etc.

FSU during the Charlie Ward days, did not use a cadence from the QB. He would heel kick and the center would snap it when ready. The center would also call the cadence if need be. Also with the center calling the cadence they claim it was very easy to draw the other team offsides.
