Did anyone notice how close to the LOS the Seahawks huddle was. They were literally like 2 feet from the ball. Al Michaels brought it up numerous times on SNF. Now I don't know if the Colts could hear the play but they were close enough to hear the snap count. Russ needs all the time he can get and giving the Def a edge if so isn't good. I have noticed this in the GB and SF games too. Just seems strange to be that close.

Maybe taking a page out of the Packers playbook, and already had the play call worked in, and wanted to keep the Defense from being able to substitute.....Rodgers does that a LOT.

Been doing it all year, starting in pre-season. I think the idea is to eliminate the 2-3 seconds it takes for them to break the huddle and get to the line. IMHO, it is working on the wrong end of the problem. They've had problems in the past getting plays in. Now, I guess they still get the play in late, but their 2 seconds closer to the line, so it's OK.
