Depending on how they lineup, I'll either count 3-3-3-2, or 5-2-2-2 (convenient for teams that go with 5 linemen in the middle, 2 wings on each side, and 2 in the backfield (QB/HB).
The only problem with that mcrowder is that you are not getting your count until they get to the LOS. That causes many problems. If you count 12 the 1st time, you do not have time to count again, you cannot start focusing on the QB and backs for movement, and you cannot confirm the 11 count early enough with your U. My U and I have our count done and confirmed before they get to the LOS, let alone setting up so we can focus on the other things. 4-4-3 is very quick and works very well, no matter if they break the huddle and scatter, break and stay kind of in lines, or don't huddle at all.
