Bodine has a point

Secondly, I'm impressed that centers have different snaps for different protections. Does anyone here know about these things?

Next off-season, Andy will have to invite his WRs and his centers to train with him, I guess.

First, yes. I never get worked up in practices or preseason as that's the only chance they get to experiment. Especially for guys ho are a few years into their career. When you hear they're having a bad camp, usually I chalk it up to trying something new or just taking some plays off because it's camp.

Second, I don't know much about that, but I don't like it. I've heard stories over the years where some offenses knew a blitz was coming (whether it was showing or not) based off the way linemen were holding their hands. Or defenses would know if it was going to be a running play based off the way linemen dipped a shoulder at the line. There was something about Chad when he was here, a defender pointed out something he did at the line if it was a pass play. If Bodine is giving tells with his snaps, smart coaches will eat that up.
