One of the best ways for an offense to gain a competitive advantage is for the quarterback to vary their cadence and snap count throughout the game. This forces the defense will to react to the physical movement of the ball or opposing players, rather than the quarterback’s Jodi Song. Every quarterback has their own cadence and when that quarterback gets complacent with said cadence, defenders use it to “jump the snap” thereby increasing their chances of disrupting the play. By using the same cadence and snap count over and over and over again, the quarterback – and the offense – becomes predictable.
