We are going to see other teams adding this to their offense this year.
Except they've been doing it for years according to my boss. He said HE used to do it on defense. You use everything you can within the rules and if you are the patsies, those rules mean zilch.
This has been done since speakers went into the helmets. I'm bothered that a few asshole talking heads decided to make this a Goff issue to continue to justify their "he can't play" stance by saying McVsay has to read defenses for him. They are bullshitting people to cover up that they were WRONG and don't want to admit it.
If it were true that he was reading defenses and such and giving the info to defenses the DC's would simply show one thing then switch to another and destroy the Rams totally. It is ludicrous to think otherwise because the speaker gets turned off a full 15 seconds before the play clock. It would be simple to fool McVay/Goff on every single play.
QB's get plenty of tips from the OC/HC. A big one is substitutions because the QB won't see them happen so the OC/HC usually tells him. This is important because there are enough times the team goes to the LOS with a run play and a pass play that having that information can be really helpful. It's been going on forever and the guys bending and shaping the story should be embarrassed about their total lack of professionalism.
The only time this is an advantage is in the hurry up or if a team is getting to the line after getting the play called in the huddle and can manage to get the ball snapped before the play clock winds down to 15 seconds. And all the teams do the same.
