We are a no huddle offense, and have been running the same basic schemes now for 4 years. We've been successful with it, and the kids really buy in to it. We are about to start district, and have one major concern. The DC's at our district schools have not changed in a few years. I'm a little worried that they may be able to pick up on our signals. We use a live number to communicate to the linemen, and we change who the live signaler is. But, I'm still worried about it. Any ideas you guys have used to keep DC's from picking up on signals?

I can't believe no one on this board has any ideas.

We run no huddle with signals and our qb calls the play out at the line. Here is the thing, 1. Just cause the reapeat it, doesn't mean they know what the play is, 2. Even if they know the play they have to stop it. 3. If they are more worried about what is being signaled and said then getting lined up to play ball that is a bonus to you.
I will tell you as a DC I pay more atttention to tendency then anything else. Most OC's go back to what has worked for them. I would rather my guys line up and play sound football then think I know something and try to stack against it.
Also something for you put some tags on you plays that are some kind of play of certain actions. Example have ISO action but have the QB keep it around the edge or something.

If you have an injured player or enough assistant coaches spare, you can always make sure 2 signals are being sent every play, with only one of the signals being live for that quarter. We did that in college where we had 2 whiteboards with numbers on them...one coach was a decoy, and the other is the actual call.

Barnone, good points. We've discussed the fact that if they are more worried about our signals or what we are saying, then we probably have them where we want them. I'm just a worrier that wants everything covered. It's good to hear those points from a DC. Thanks.

I have a Hand signal chart that I would be willing to share. Let me know if you are interested.
