[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 635616, member: 265"] I think the question isn't whether the RB gets the ball in his hands quicker. It is whether the RB gets the ball [I]at the LOS[/I] quicker. There's no question that if all the QB has to do after a direct snap is hand the ball to the RB that the transfer from QB to RB is faster. Problem = the RB is still 3 yards from the LOS when that happens. In an under center snap, the RB is moving to the LOS at the snap and the QB then hands off or tosses as the RB moves forward. Result = the RB is [I]at the LOS when he gets the ball[/I]. And, of course, that means fewer chances to lose yards on running plays. If the RB is good - think Laskey or Mason - he will almost never lose yards at the handoff. But … you pay your money and you take your choice. In a direct snap, the QB has more time for reads and, ideally, could make option calls more easily. Also, of course, there is all that pesky passing business. No denying that a direct snap makes that easier. Bottom line (for me): run the ball from the 5 on in and take the snap under center. We'll see what the coaches decide come Saturday. [/QUOTE]
