There are plenty of other threads about everything wrong with this team so I thought I'd be different.

I actually have a question about the no huddle offense. Every play Delhomme calls in audible during no huddle, at least that I've noticed, he loudly identifies the MLB. The number he calls is different though. Is this some method of playcalling, or is the MLB that important when calling audibles?

This is honestly an aspect of the game I don't know, plus it gives us a chance to discuss the no huddle.

It would be "all of the above", and then some. Everything shouted out, and every hand gesture made, means something, and thus the combination of what's shouted out and what gestures are made will determine the play being called and/or variations of that. You'll usually see ALL QBs pointing out most defenders who may be indicating a blitz, to ensure that everyone knows who their responsibility is if that defensive player DOES blitz, and any other aspect of their assignment(s). Peyton Manning is the absolute master of this, bar none.

It could also be like in baseball. When the coach is giving signs he has an indicator. Only after that is done do the signals mean something.

So barking something out could be the indicator and the NEXT thing said or done is the actual signal.

I do this all the time at Wal Mart...

      Defensive Tackle: The Need that Shall Not be Named

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      Great post! Now that I think on it, I think D line might be our biggest need. We are one player away from having a potential disastrous defensive line. Brown and Wharton struggled last year and Wharton has really only been a rotational player that specializes in one thing. Can we count on him being a full time starter? Jackson is unproven. Do you want a starting defensive line of Wharton, Brown and Jackson? I don’t want to risk it.   I honestly don’t think linebacker is that big of a need. If Rozeboom ends up coming back then why get a LB?   games are won in the trenches and I would honestly prefer us drafting an offensive or defensive linemen over any other position in the first. The prospect you mentioned seems like a good prospect who has had some good production as well. Only problem is defensive line is a position that can take time for a player to develop. Will whoever we draft be ready this season ?

      Have they though? I'll give you KC with Kelce, but c'mon, they weren't winning those SB's because they had a great TE, it was a combination of Mahomes and some great defenses.  Will also give you the 49ers and Ravens with Kittle and Andrews, but even then, both have missed time with injuries the last few years. After those 3 teams, the best teams of the last 2-3 years have not had elite TEs The Eagles had Goedert, he's good, not great. The Bills have also had good but not great TE's The Rams have had average TEs and still consistently run 2 and 3 TE sets with them and still win. The Bucs have been winning the South without a great TE The Lions' Laporta is more a name than a highly productive TE. The Texans have had a serviceable TE in Shultz, but nothing too amazing. Some of the best TE's in the league the last few years have been on some of the worst teams.  McBride, Bowers, Warren, Njoku, even Pitts this past year. A true elite TE is absolutely a weapon in today's game, but I think the best teams use that money elsewhere and find serviceable TE play, usually through a committee where each TE brings something else to the table.
