We are a no-huddle Spread offense. I was wondering how some of you guys use cadence to help get a look at a defenses intentions pre snap. It seems like that has become a big thing in the spread. We get a lot of late stems & we would like to help ourselves identify blitzes and movements. Thanks for any comments.

Something that we used back in the day but this was done with the QB calling the plays and not being signaled in from the sidelines. The formations generally wouldn't change during a drive as they would be preset before the drive started but could be changed either by the coach or the QB before "Down."
"Down Set Blue 42 Blue 42 1 2 3" Set activates the cadence so: "Down Green 19 Green 19 1 2 3" means nothing and the Q will hard count (hopefully drawing their blitz package) and then start over "Down Set Brown 35 Brown 35 1 2 3" which is active. He could go through it a couple times before saying "Set."
The color dictates the type of play run or pass. If a run color (Brown, Green, Black) the first number signals the back the second the hole. Motion is understood by the play. If a pass color (White, Blue, Yellow) the first number signifies the blocking scheme and backfield action (motion included)the second number the pass scheme. Red indicated a preset play. First number telling play second number telling direction. So "Red 12" might be speed option right.
Pretty complicated IMO.

make a call to the team prior ... i.e "monday-monday" means you will snap the ball the first time .. monday being the first day of the week.
if you want to "look" the call "friday-friday" with friday being the last day of the school week... so qb will call "friday-friday", then begin his cadence- team looks- then rock on

The new thing is the "freeze" call. Get set in a formation, call a fake cadence & then check with the coaches to get the real play after the defense has shown its hand. Must get the "freeze" call in early to have time to change the play. QB can use variation of calls to indicate a freeze or it can be on a wristband.
