The mic in Rodgers ear won’t shut off until 14 seconds so LaFleur can make the audibles at the LOS in most situations.    Inside the RZ, Rodgers should have authority to audible.Much of LaFleur’s offense involves pre-snap activity, including extensive use of motion. By the time the protection is set and the eligibles motion, there simply may not be enough time to find the “best” play to run.Secondly, it’s about play sequencing in this offense.  Rodgers audibled at the LOS on 35% of plays last year.  That doesn’t work in this offense.  Each play has a purpose that Rodgers may not see.  Personnel  groupings and plays are run in order to set up something else down line or try to get the defense to show its cards. On its face, the play may or may not be ideal in a specific situation, but it may also allow Rodgers, LaFleur, et al to exploit a look later on.</blockquote>
