In the NFL - what % of plays run are audibles?

[Bucky]

This would be a fun thing to know.

Teams show six in the box - to stop the run - ok - kill - pass play - but what if they bring 6 on the pass rush or back two off on coverage at the snap.

Put, the shoe on the other foot - do defenses audible very much at the line of scrimmage???

Hey Slippery? You bring up an idea - if we studied enough game tape with audio could we have got to the point where we could decode Peyton's jabber and get some useful predictive info on the play? Right now, I think of Brady and Rodgers calling audibles a lot??? McCarthy used to look half pissed off at Rodgers like he changed almost every play.

Love when Rodgers used Bozo. Masters of the offsides draw.

1st drive usually scripted, there were more pre snap reads and audibles 10 years ago.

the center does more pre snap reads for the lineman than qbs do, thats why most centers are white.

Between D and O, I'd say north of 70%.

With RPO's (run/pass options) invading the NFL game, it seems at least a dozen plays a game are ad-libbed after the snap.

Not Rails strongest decade of posting.

Refresh Me. Do NFL QBs have mics in their helmets? Who talks to them? OC?---I thought I saw this being used somewhere. Maybe just a test.
