Why does Birk use the exact same shotgun snap routine every freaking time?
1) Look back at Flacco.
2) Drop head.
3) Snap on one-count.
4) Get Flacco killed.
Never looks up again, never holds the ball for an extra second or two to throw off the rushers. Just gives them the best possible jump on the snap.
This O-line might actually look OK on the road if the D-line didn't know the exact instant that the ball will be snapped. It's like a middle-school team. They could even draw some encroachment penalties if they'd just mix it up a little. How difficult could that be?

Actually, it could be Andy Moellers fault. Not even joking about that.

Re: Why does Birk use the exact same shotgun snap routine every freaking time?
Yes, it is. It's the coach's job to keep players from becoming too predictable. And if the average fan can see it, the coach should have seen it in training camp and FIXED IT!
Why do I get the feeling that Pees is going to be the fall guy for all of the incompetence on offense?

Re: Why does Birk use the exact same shotgun snap routine every freaking time?
Birk has done this since he got here. Teams timing the snap got really bad at one point and he did change it up, and I recall a particular game when they were able to create three or four offsides penalties. That put a temporary end to it...but he reverted shortly thereafter.
I can recall an interview with Ray Lewis where he showed film on Eddie George and had picked up on a "tell" where George's toe was slightly offset before the snap and Ray knew which way the play was going. If they pay attention to this little detail, you know they are paying attention to Birk's headsnap routine.

How the o-line coach even has a job is puzzling. We need a real o-line coach in here.
