I don't think it's usually so much that he gets an incorrect call, it's that Johnson has to take a fairly long time deciphering what the hell Raye is actually trying to call so that it takes forever to reach Alex, for the most part anyways.
While reading that article, I got the notion that Raye sometimes calls plays from "memory," meaning that he calls what he thinks is the play he wants, but has a completely different name. If he sends the call down late, and it's the wrong name, what if Mike Johnson doesn't have enough time to decipher Raye's call? Eventually, Alex gets a call and they go to the line anyway, but if Johnson doesn't have time to decipher the nonsense Raye is delivering and has to tell Alex exactly what Raye told him, I'm thinking players go to the line of scrimmage not know what the hell they're suppose to be doing.
I'm thinking that's the case as well. Anyone else notice how often Alex is telling the TEs, WRs, and/or backs where to line up? Too often many of the players appear confused before the snap, which obviously does not bode well for the action that occurs after the snap.
If this is the case then Sing and Alex need to be fired because Sing has no idea when it happens and Alex has no balls to take ownership and realize Raye is a dumbass and Alex call his own play to later tell Sing that he aint letting his career end due to an incompetent OC.
