We are looking into implementing the no-huddle this year. We have a senior QB who is a horse. We plan to do a lot of QB run game, option, etc... with him.
However, he isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. He panics a lot, and really can't think on the run. I am really nervous that no-huddle will blow his mind when somethink unexpected happens.
What advice can you give me about going no-huddle with him? How can we simplify things so he doesn't have to think? We are developing a wrist-band card for him, but we don't want to give them to every linemen so he will still have to do some calling out plays.
Any of you guys have a similar QB?

Obviously COMMUNICATION is critical in the no huddle so make sure your system takes your QB's strengths and challenges into account. As far as something "unexpected" happening, the same thing can happen if you're coming out of the huddle - one plus of the no huddle is YOU and the QB have a little more time to adjust. There are countless ways to call plays (wrist cards, hand signals, code words, etc.) so choose one that allows you to call your base stuff with a minimum of words while also maintaining your secrecy. Like anything else, if you want to be good at it, you must rep it - effectively!

If you are talking up tempo no huddle then I say start day one of practice with a 2-minute period with nothing but wristbands. Once at the beginning of practice and once at the end.
It will become second nature.
