Pause before snap - each hand?

But that's the point -- I think my way will actually make it simpler for young players to learn football. I have an article on the general scheme (not emphasizing beginnners). I think that an inexperienced quarterback would be able to learn this way of taking the snap and backing out easier, and it should make the fly (jet) series much easier, provided you're willing to do it in just one direction. It also allows the snapper to snap head up and still hit either of a pair of backs with a running start, just by lobbing it down the middle for them to run on to.

I was actually looking to put together an offense with a lot of deception but very little ballhandling. Single wing type deception without the spins and handoffs that require such practice on footwork & timing.

So what I have in mind may look complicated to an experienced follower of football just because it's different from what you're used to, but for someone who doesn't know much football I think it'd be simpler than the common forms.
