Quote:I agree that it should be something that is coached.  If he sees a bad setup for a running play (i.e. 8+ in the box), why not let him audible out.  Goodness knows we've seen what happens when we don't audible out.  If they don't like how often he's audibling just because it skews the balance, then I see a problem with that.  If they are smart checks, then keep letting him do them.  If they are truly bad checks, then tell him why they are bad checks and try to get him to understand why.  By not giving him an opportunity to check on certain plays, you're handcuffing him and treating him with kid gloves.
