And I'm over the obsession with Omaha. It's not a play. Anyone that watches any of the games, or knows anything about football should know what's going on.
Completely uninformed, I'm going to say it's adding protection or signaling a blitzer or something of that nature. It's too simple and frequent to be an audible or check.
It's snap count. With a predetermined series or down to switch it up to stop the dl from getting too far upfield. Omaha= first word. He does it for a certain amount of plays for the defense to get used to it. Then they switch it up. San Diego jumped 30 billion times.
If everybody knew what was going on, he wouldn't shout it so much. Even the former QBs who are now talking heads say that it could be one of a few things.
I believe your explanation, but your explanation acknowledged that meaning* of the word is constantly changing. *what the word is specifically communicating
It is a false flag. It means nothing, but do many waste time trying to figure it out, instead of what they should be focusing on.
It was blatantly clear that's what he was doing Sunday. Also, that's been the call all year for snap count. They've done a good job baiting teams with it.
It basically means he can use any word after Omaha to snap the ball. It can be set, hut, snapthemother****ingball, or pickles.
Hold on, it can't be that he can use any word after Omaha to snap the ball, or the defense would be able to jump on the first word after Omaha that wasn't Omaha. And if the snap were to go on a random word, what would be the point of the Omaha? Like Peyton could say at halftime, "hey guys, in the third quarter we're snapping the ball after I say 'ballsdeep' and then in the fourth after 'justthetip'", and that would seem to accomplish the same objective. What is gained by yelling "Omaha Omaha ballsdeep" as opposed to just "ballsdeep"? These questions are not being posed to be argumentative. I'm legitimately asking.
