Pardon me if I actually missed this topic embedded in another post but I haven't seen it yet

What the hell is wrong with the Steelers D ambling around before the snap and not even lined up by the time the ball is hiked? Favre caught us at least 4 times at this including on a 3rd and 18 pass on the sideline to Sidney Rice.

It took Favre longer to catch on to this than I expected. He could have caught the steelers off guard 4 or 5 plays earlier. At times, the nose tackle (Kirschke positioned there in the dime) had his back turned away from the center with Favre taking the snap.

What is this - backyard football?

I agree IC....at first I thought they were disguising the blitz or confusing the Minn O-line but more than once Farve snapped the ball and WE WERE NOT READY!!!!! WTF

Come On Guys, it is some of Tricky Dicks confusing fire me blitz schemes. What's matter you did not recoginize it?

this was indeed by design; early in the game Favre was waiting fo rthe Steelers to set themselves so the OL knew who to block; that did not work so well & he caught the steelers a couple later in the game. all in all, not a horrible thing to do once in awhile but I would have put it away once he did a quick snap that gained some positive yardage. I kinda liked it!
