I just don't buy that it's thar problematic. They can split the reps, or not, but I really don't think it's gonna make that much difference on game day. And fwiw, what he says they're gonna do and what they do behind the scenes might be different. This is one of those things I think is more of a coaching preference rather than any need to do it a certain way. I don't really care either way.
If it works, that's all that really matters.
