GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The words come in rapid fire, some actually meaning something, others not a thing, those the dummy calls aimed to confuse the opposition. It is a football symphony at the line of scrimmage, with each guy playing a role, and precision being of the utmost importance.
This is the secretive world of what goes on before the ball is snapped for the NFL's best offense, theGreen Bay Packers, led by the league's best quarterback:Aaron Rodgers.
Long gone are the days of a play coming in with a messenger guard or a simple signal from the sidelines, the quarterback then coming to the line, making an adjustment or two, and snapping the football. The exotic looks of the new-wave defenses and the fast-paced play of the Green Bay offense have taken the pre-snap happenings to a new level at the line of scrimmage.
With microphones now placed on the guards or that boom mike for big games also picking up the sounds of the game, we have been taken onto the field with them, given a peek into the cacophony of what Aaron Rodgers and his offense do in their pre-snap world, even if it's hard to decipher for the average ear. The importance of this area for the Packers is not lost on the man who coaches them, which is why this part of the game is so intriguing.
"You should never lose a play at pre-snap," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. "That's bad coaching if you do."
