Thanks! 2.5 Seconds? Doesn't that seem like an eternity to make the decision whether to pass or hand off?

While watching it definitely seems like an eternity. Being a generally paranoid fan, I keep thinking that doing this so slowly is going to allow an opposing lineman to crush the mesh, leading to a fumble, etc. 

There were times that it was clear McKee couldn't make up his mind on the read, and a few where he clearly made the wrong read. However, given this was the first time this scheme appeared in a game, it actually seemed to go reasonably smoothly overall. The key question is what will improve more going forward: our execution of the scheme or our opponent's ability to attack the scheme (once they know its coming).
