I bet you have no idea what's happening between the huddle and the ball being released by the QB on passing downs.
If I'm wrong about that, I apologize. It's just that anybody that understands how our offense is designed knows how tricky getting everybody on the same page is. The challenge is that the QB and every receiver are reading the defense both before the snap and also while the play is unfolding. In real time. Receivers are expected to adjust their routes (not just a bit here or there, but potentially run completely different routes) depending on what they see from the defense while the play is happening. The QB has to read the same thing that the receiver does, has to anticipate the receiver coming open, and has to deliver the ball on time trusting that the receiver has made the same read and will get to the right spot in time. And oh yeah, all of this happens under a pass rush and while the DBs are trying to prevent the receivers from going where they want to go and to mess up the timing. So, while what you see on TV might look simple to you, it's not. There is complexity built into the very core of the system. The beauty is that when you have skilled players that are experienced in the system, it's extremely difficult to stop because every play has adjustments built in to react to what the defense is doing.
