- Great stuff here as the OL really works hard to get lined up quickly. When trying to play fast, I think you always have to challenge the OL to work extremely hard in getting lined up. Explain to the big guys that they "drive the tempo" and the faster they play, the faster we can play as an offense.
- Notice that the play call is basically the same every time in order to play at the fastest pace possible. I would assume he is using some type of "roll it" call, meaning run the same play again, or an "alpha" call, meaning the same. If you use "alpha" and "omega" calls, you can communicate quickly to your guys to run the same play (Alpha) or run the same play to the opposite side (Omega). Very easy verbage, quick communication, and no need to look at wristbands or to the sideline for signals.
- QBs cadence is the same every play. You can hear QB saying "black black, GO". Building in your cadence with specific tempos can be a great way to implement variety into your snap count. For example..Base Tempo "Black, Black, Ready GO!".. Nascar tempo will always be "Black, Black, GO!" .. !" and your optimum tempo (Cheetah Nascar) "Black, GO!"
Click the link for the first clip from Auburn spring practice 2013. Shows the Auburn offense running up-tempo drill vs. air and allows you to hear QB cadence and some coach communication. I could not get the video to show up here but the link works fine.
