Like Peyton Manning’s ‘Omaha’, What Does 4x NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers Say Before The Football Is Snapped?
Quarterbacks have a strategy and tendency to yell out terms on the field. QB communication is an essential part of the play for any team. It directs the players to move and create formations to tackle other teams’ offence or go on offense themselves. Aaron Rodgers has a set of his call-out terms meant for the Packers to understand.
The 4x NFL MVP is no different. Rodgers often yells, “White 80, White 80 set hut.” It is used to signal for the football and alert the offensive line. Additionally, it is understandable that teams might crack the code of their opponents using the same cadence. However, experienced players like Rodgers often use these terms to bluff the opposition. Therefore, making it almost fool-proof.

The timing of their cadence is as vital in football as it is in the orchestra. QBs and coaches build team strategies around the cadence and timing of the call-outs. Rodgers’ most famous cadence is “Green 19”. He uses it before he snaps the balls and yells it in a rhythmic cadence.
QBs use cadences to identify the linebackers in the opposing team. It helps them stay clear of the defenses to score a touchdown. For instance, the Mike linebacker sets the middle of the blocking scheme for the offensive lineman. As a result, quarterbacks like Rodgers often use cadences to identify the Mike linebacker in the opposition for their offensive lineman.
What are other cadences used by Aaron Rodgers on the field?
Almost all the QBs use colors and numbers jointly to create their cadence. For example, the Packers‘ QB used “Green 19″, “Blue 42”, and a bunch of other cadences in his gameplay. Conversely, the significance of the cadence “Blue 42” is not similar to that of “Green 19”. Consequently, “Blue 42” is often used when people are trying to mock a quarterback’s cadence.

In addition to using words as cadences, QBs like Rodgers also use the motion of their hands. He often points to his helmet and yells “alert” to signal a change in offense play. QBs also use the tactic of clapping their hands to snap the ball in a hurry.
