that was posted somewhere that there are dummy Omaha calls. Only certain sounds are "live" after Omaha, or something like that. I could be way off though.

Knowing that the offense is always going to go on the second sound after "omaha" seems like it would give the defense a head start on the play. Maybe when the clock is winding down, it doesn't matter as much, but I would think you'd want to mix that up a bit.

death. Of course, after a young Marlon Perkins wrestled that Anaconda, chances are he said, "hell with this, I need to find some gullible flunkie for this crap."

we see Jim grapple with the alligator as it's mate sneaks up from behind. Jim is on the edge of danger here. But Jim is smart as a policyholder with Mutual of Omaha he's less worried."

And I never knew it was "blue-go" (thought it sounded like "here we go").

Turn up the sound and listen to Clausen...

Omaha: the QB may call "Omaha" as the offensive unit is breaking the huddle. This means the 40/25 second clock is running out and we must get to the LOS quickly. Any shifting or movement called in the huddle is OFF and you should align in what would be the finished formation. The ball will be snapped on the 2nd sound - "Blue Go".

It means go on my first or second sound. It's pre determined in the huddle. So when Verducci says "second sound" he means go on "go". To my ear, it sound like "Omaha... set go!" and the lineman go off of it.

I don't know why it's different than the Hut Hike system, but I assume it is.

Does anybody understand why they use this call before the snap? Is it just something different than going "hut 1, 2, 3"? Or does it specify something?

Usually it's followed by "here-we-go" instead of "hike".
