N’Kosi Perry Snap Count Clap Along

[nikkoum]

The clapping is to tell the center to hike the ball when he's (center) ready. He doesn't always snap it once the clap is made. In most cases he waits a second or two to see what the LB's are doing to see if a blitz is coming.

"So what is the clap cadence, and why do so many teams use it?

With this cadence, the quarterback claps his hands to signs to the center that the ball should be snapped. This tactic is considered to be more effective than oral cadences, as the sound of the clap slices through the crowd more effectively than a vocal one. This also keeps everyone’s eyes forward, as opposed to looking at the center to watch when the ball is snapped.

One would think that this style could get predictable, and it does on occasion, but the count can be changed up just like any other cadence. The quarterback can mix up the timing by going on a two count after the clap, or by faking a clap motion to try to get defenses to jump.

Both the fake clap and the changing of the count are key to keeping defenses honest, and if they are not properly utilized, the defense will be able to consistently jump the snap. However, quarterbacks who are familiar with the system know how to utilize these tactics to mess with a defense’s head. In those cases, this cadence can be more effective than them all."

So, my question would be... Doesn't it defeat the purpose for the crowd to clap every time the qb does it. Now the offensive line has to figure out what they are hearing cause its covering up the fake clap? Not saying this is the reason for our offensive ineptitude.... Just thought to myself. Figures. LOL

At least the offense isn’t looking to sideline before every snap.

But is the nfl crowd clapping and yelling these code words along with Manning?...NO!!...Because there is a respect level there...a level this Offense and Richt have yet to achieve...honestly, who the **** claps along with the QB? I guess the fans determined that was more entertaining than the actual offensive game plan and I don't blame them...

Looks real good when a teams fans mocks they're own team on the field.then those fans can't accept the fact they and the coaches lack of creativity on offense cause the transfer of players out of the system and recruits go somewhere else.
