Every little nanosecond counts.
The crowd noise will disrupt the timing of an OL that already has its struggles. Not to mention communicate protections.
It will make it harder for burrow, who still holds on to the ball too long, to communicate changes
It will make it harder to get creative on the snap count
A not great OL and an immobile qb who holds onto the ball too long are not a great combo for what will undoubtedly be by a mile the most difficult crowd he’s ever had to work with in the nfl.
