Cadence
« on: September 03, 2019, 07:31:17 am »
I am wondering if the QB has to be the person that calls the cadence. Can the center call the cadence?

I am not aware of a a rule that says he can't, I will double check when I get a chance.

If you’re running a formation that has no qb then the qb can’t call the cadence. I know that the person calling the cadence doesn’t have to be the one receiving the snap. And you also can have a silent cadence, so I’m betting it doesn’t matter who calls it. Just my 2 cents.
Work hard and never give up... If you think you can't... You're probably right.

I was looking in the rule book tonight and I dont see why the center couldn't call the snap. But whats the reason for it? How would he know everyone is set?

 We go on 2 and with 2 QBs they aren't consistent. The center is loud and can do it the same every time.

A lot of spread teams let the center call the cadence when they get older( that's what you see on tv when the qb raises his leg, and the snap immediately follows the center is watching for this signal and then calls cadence).  So it shd be completely legal---- this also helps when stadium is loud and center can't hear
