I think Peyton and Eli used it when they were kids playing backyard football.
I guess I was typing instead of continuing reading.
All this second, third, and fourth guessing because a defensive back shifted a bit to the left or took a step or two back is more annoying than entertaining.
Oh, and the hard count to draw an offsides.
Wow! What a way to distinguish so-so clubs from champions.
Not.
Are they still running horses at AkSarBen? Or is it just for remote and off-track these days?
Chris Collinsworth explained that Omaha means that the ball must be hiked at the next utterance from the quarterback - - usually when they’re running out of time.
Sometimes he uses it to lure the players offsides.
Yeah, my Organization uses the same word trick.
We call ourselves the Ghosts of RADAR, oh wait...
you’d have to turn it inside out like DARAD
Hmmm. My wife yells “omaha” at the end of a long drive. Probably the result of a lot of Manning.
And Chris was fibbing too, most of the time he yells it more than once before the snap, and not usually when they’re running out of time.
It’s a “ready” that’s all it is. Not terribly exciting, people trying to over complicate it are being silly.
He has done this for years but last year there was a game near the end of the season where it seemed you could hear every single word so clearly. It was this game that brought such notoriety to this Midwestern cowtown.
He’s an incredible future first-ballet HOF QB of course, but his constant directions at the line of scrimmage each play, shouting out who’s supposed to do what, pointing the hot defenders out etc is so friggin’ ridiculous—and I will bet extremely annoying for the O-Line and receivers.
These guys are pros, they don’t need the QB hollering what to look out for every GD play. They have their own intricate calls to think about each play.
I think his habit cost them a safety in the first play of the last Super Bowl he was in, as the center was confused listening to him barking and snapped it early (crowd noise etc too). That set the pace of the rest of the game.
Just shut up already Peyton, let your guys do their job and expect them to do it—like Unitas and Bradshaw and Staubach and Namath and even Brady and Rodgers (who keep their directions to a minimum, mainly for audibles.)
Oh well, my alma mater kicked Peyton’s ass 42-17 in the Orange Bowl after the 1997 season for a share of the National Championship (split with Michigan), so it doesn’t really bother me that much (does).
OhMaHa Deflatriots missed the extra point!
The race track was torn down several years ago. There is a business park and shopping/entertainment area there now. The also just opened a new arena there where UNO hockey and and basketball play. El Presidente’ spoke there the day after the SOTU address. Lots of nice shops and restaurants in that area now.
OOPS, funny! Of course I mean first ballot (he likely will not be named to any dancing hall of fame anywhere anytime!)
Glad to see they made something useful out of it.
Hamao
Please. Did you just bring up Namath? Look at my tag line. Roll Tide til I die but Namath was the Ric Flair of football. He didn’t just run the O-line he ran the whole Jets organization.
My son also played on the O-line and said any good quarterback is going to do exactly what Manning does and that Brady does it too.
Now what does Rogers “319” mean.... He uses it almost every down.
