2. CADENCEOur quarterback will use a rhythmic cadence to coordinate motion when applicable.

The cadence begins with READY—SETHIKE. The ball is snapped on the “S” in SETHIKE.

If FREEZE is called in the huddle, the tail motion will take place on the “R” in ready. The slot will return to his original position as the cadence is completed. Then, the cadence will restart and the ball will be snapped on the “S” in SETHIKE.
