When and Why to make Noise

After reading how to Maximize Your Noise I feel I should remind people when and why making noise helps and hurts teams.

When our team is on offense you should be silent from huddle to tackle. This helps our team call plays, make adjustments, and communicate during the play. Yes the offensive line communicates during the play so save it till the play is over. I know you are exited and want to cheer for Cam to drive the field or get a third down but silence will actually help him and the team. It can also help with the hard count causing some defenders to jump giving up free yards and all you have to do is be silent. With big plays, first downs, penalties in our favor, and of course touchdowns make sure to rock the house to motivate our team while demoralizing theirs.

The defense is a bit more complex but I will try and keep it short. Save your voice by knowing when to get loud to be the most effective. Start making noise when the offense comes to the line and continue till the hand off or pass then cheer the tackle (unless it is a big play for them). Holding back on first down (still make noise) and getting louder on third down will save your voice some. Always get as loud as you can when you see the QB changing the play, you will see him step up, yell, look around, or do hand signals (still get loud the O-line and WR will talk to make sure they are on the same page). With big hits, tackles for a loss, stuffing a third down, penalties in our favor, sacks, interceptions, and fumbles make sure to rock the house to motivate our team while demoralizing theirs. Stay as loud as possible when they are in the Red Zone. If done right you can screw up a play or force a timeout and that is what home field advantage is all about.

Do get loud for penalties in our favor nothing hurts worse than screwing up on this stage and having some 60k+ fans point it out to you. All of them even if you don't think it matters, get loud. You can get into players heads with that causing more screw ups.

I always remember announcers talking about how quite it was for Peyton Manning when he was on the field in Indy everyone could hear his voice clearly; we have to be like that. Also if you are at the game fix anyone around you that is screwing up. This applies for all 4 quarters get started early, no matter the score up or down, and leave it all behind in the fourth quarter to seal the deal. They can hear you and it motivates them. You can affect the game. Remember if the fans don’t quit there is no way the players will and if no one quits there will always be a chance to win.

If only every fan in attendance was given these instructions. ...

They actually put a more abbreviated form of this on the screen during the SEA game several times, mostly to no avail from the casual fans and soccer mom families in the stands.  Fortunately the hardcore fans shut down the noise around them during the offensive snaps.  I actually thought our fans did a lot better with the noise on both sides of the ball this last game than in previous ones I have attended.

It was actually a lot better this past Sunday on offense; it was noticeably quiet.  I find that if people cheer during offense, it's usually during a 3rd down attempt (which is probably the worst time to do it).  The only caveat I'll add is that sometimes offensive players make the gesture for the fans to get loud.  It doesn't happen too often, but when it does, follow the leader.

Also, I always feel like an asshole telling people around me to be quiet.  I generally try to not single out one person.

So...are you planning on handing this out to the masses, because the Huddle might be the last place that this advice would do any good.

Also, I slightly disagree with waiting until the offense gets to the line. Loud noise in the huddle can be very disruptive, especially when the sideline is radioing plays to the QB's helmet.

Yes, this.

Please don't just "start making noise when the offense comes to the line".  Noise during the radio transmission of the play call and during the huddle can cause the coordinator and QB to have to have to repeat the play call multiple times, leaving far less time at the line to read the defense and/or audible the play.  Most of the actual scheme and protection changes at the line are going to be done with hand signals regardless when playing on the road.

      Bryce Young PFF - Week 16

      The reality is Bryce outplayed a Probowl QB vs a better defense with inferior weapons. IDK what else you can ask for from your #1 overall pick that you gave up the farm for

      Ah yes, the classic and timeless 'Big Time Throws' HOF metric. Gold star for Bryce and the other QBs that make Big Time Throws. That eyeroll aside, my position has always been that Bryce's ceiling is Bridgewater/Smith levels of effectiveness, which is not good enough to have a consistent shot at winning Super Bowls in today's NFL. My issue and concern with Bryce remains as it has always been - a lack of downfield dynamics. My position has also been that this is what really hampered the Saints with Brees at QB for the last nearly decade, the inability to truly attack downfield vs the top competition when the opportunities presented themselves. That is likely complicated somewhat by the receivers on the roster and time will continue to sort that out if the roster is effectively managed. After watching the second half yesterday there were some very good throws, chiefly the throw over the middle while taking the shot that absolutely should have been roughing and then the superbly-placed TD to Moore, but still only 10 points produced and an inability to really close it out. That complete whiff on the third down pass was an untimely mistake but the kind that happens to all QBs and I don't think that's really outside of Bryce's current range of possibilities on any given throw anyway. I chuckled at the irony given all of the 'clutch' talk recently, but that's not really here or there when assessing the throw itself. Yes, 30 points should be enough to win an NFL game, but the best teams have to be able to put up points and sustain drives when needed even if carrying an unreasonable part of the load. Getting 'close' with teams like the Chiefs and Eagles is to me more a signal of the limitations I mentioned earlier (Saints-esque inability to overcome the best competition) rather than an overly positive sign, and only time will tell if he and the team can move past that. Hopefully these final games show some increased dynamics and a continued growth toward true downfield effectiveness.
