Elko admitted we had the hard count called and were attempting to draw them offsides. He said he had no idea why Naboo snapped it. I do! It was because Marcel tapped the center with his left hand. That is often read by the center as a silent count snap signal. How in the world does our qb not know that is a big risk to take in a noisy environment. That play is in Marcel and the coaches. I don't like how Marcel and Elko readily throw others under the bus. Especially offensive linemen. The qb should be praising those guys.

To not even have sufficiently coached up the offense to execute that simple play is ludicrous.

Have you played center & been goosed before. If Marcel did that it's on him not Naboo.

You're gonna move when your goosed so you snap the ball.

The head coach and qb throwing the center under the bus and openly criticizing off linemen period is one of the worst possible cultures I've ever heard of. It's really bad leadership. If I were the Oline I would allow a few free rushers altogether and teach that qb a lesson.

Yup.

Lack of attention to detail amongst other things.

And when was the last time you saw a hard count actually work? Answer is, - it doesn't work - even in highschool anymore because its so played out and predictable and only gets the defense and crowd more fired up. Also wastes a timeout.

Watch the video of the play. If there was no play called and the center just inadvertently snapped the ball, why did all the linemen react as if a play had been called? If this was a "hard count" call, EVERYONE knows NOT TO MOVE, that's the entire premise of the hard count play. Clearly there was a play called, clearly Reed mishandled the snap and clearly Elko is covering for him, trying to protect and already mind ****ed player.
