I wasn't going to post this as I didn't know for sure if the staff knew about it, but the shift at center tells me they do, and I'm not tipping anything now with the switch.
Rewatched the game tonight on DVR with some friends (we enjoy pain). Looked like the defense knew the snapcount. Sure enough - look no further than our center's head.
From the shotgun, he ALWAYS dipped his head to look back at the QB. When he raised his head, the snap followed a brief moment later. By the 3rd series, the defense was coming full blast as though they knew the snap. Every time he peaks back, the timing is EXACTLY the same.
Appears our coaches picked up on it late in 1Q, because with the start of the 2nd quarter, Keenan didn't move his head, but he resumed doing it later in the quarter. Ditto the 3rd quarter. That's as far as we got on the DVR.
I just noticed on the front page that Iltis will replace Stevens. I believe this could be the issue. He reverted back to it again and again during the game.
Put a fleet guy at DE and speed rush him when he knows the count and it's a tough one to stop him........ It's the little things I guess.
If you got the game still on DVR, check it out. It's 100% of the time when he dips his head. And he dips his head 100% of the time from the shotgun in the 1Q and reverts back to it often after that. Pretty much every down Hansen is under big pressure including his sack/fumble.... The defense knew the count...
