The QB sees what is there and adjusts on the line. Here's the problem. Maybe he is overreacting to defensive looks and thus choosing plays that may not be top tier. Yes, I understand that you take what the defense gives you but you also need to impose your will on them. By huddling and making a play based on what YOU want to do, as opposed to letting the defense dictate by making the QB think too much, you can better use the weapons that you have more effectively. T.O., Lee and Jackson should help you impose your will on defenses. By telling defenses, "I'm scared, let's change the play," you may as well tell them verbally! And if they are not making first downs then stop the bloody no huddle because you are gassing your defense!
