Quote:Right, but why wouldn't you take advantage of an offensive approach that allows you to exploit defenses that aren't able to organize themselves properly? That's the whole point, the no huddle is a huge advantage for the offense. We need every advantage we can get.


I'm not saying use it all the time, that'd be dumb. But we only ever use it inside of 2 minutes right now, while the rest of the league has kind of adapted.


This isn't the 90s anymore. Officials call defensive holding and pass interference all the time. If you aren't throwing downfield more, or just throwing a bit more in general, at the very least you're leaving penalty yardage out there.

I think you are missing the point. The reason the offense uses it inside of 2 minutes is because it is a time sensitive situation and the defense is in prevent which is allowing for more underneath passes to made. I think that is why it looks so successful; not really because of the talent but because of the time.


If these guys can't catch when they have 40 seconds to get ready between plays making it 25 to 30 seconds shorter won't help.


Another issue I see is you are assuming we will convert more passes and draw more penalties. Again, I'm not seeing these things happen in the actual allotted time they have so I have no reason to believe they will magically catch more passes or draw more penalties. We are still in baby step mode from what I've seen in week one. Maybe it will improve as the season goes on.
