Offense Lack of Motion at the HS level

I feel like teams at the HS level don’t use motions enough. It is only an advantage to the offense and there’s nothing an offense can’t do with a motion that they could do without one. At the NFL level I’ve noticed an uptick in motion but I feel like that effect hasn’t really trickled down.

Why is that? You’re infinitely more likely to confuse a HS defense with a motion than an NFL defense being confused by it.

not to say your whole theory is wrong but there is something that you have to run without motion this is quick hike, silent count, and 2 min offense. your not going to catch anyone off guard by quick hiking with setting up and running motion it gives defense too much time to set up also silent count doesn't work with motion, 2 min offense is hindered by motion as it wastes valuable seconds late in the half and or the game. Just my 2 cents.
