No Huddle Explosion

We have heard this several times before. I think there are times when it would be a tremendous asset, but using it full time would put our defense on the field way too much.

 

Damn Blast , you're a thread starting machine.....oh I see what you're trying to do. Stop Watt Wack from putting out his 'click bait'.....just kidding guys.

 

Sometimes ball control offense is needed. We can't afford to get in a shootout with teams like New England, New Orleans, Seattle and Green Bay. We'll lose those shootouts more often than not.

Ball control is how we beat the Patriots in 2011. With Arians at OC and Mendenhall at RB.

 

I’m sure captain clickbait will find something to whine about soon enough.

 

It's all good....it makes the world go around.

 

You can do ball control with no huddle. Point to ball control is to keep moving the sticks. Doesn’t matter how you get there.

 

Yes most of the time when in the no huddle, Ben takes the clock down to 5 seconds or so anyway. It's no like they are running the "hurry up" offense. The no huddle just minimizes the defenses ability to sub in guys because the offense is at the line and can hike at any time.

 

I don`t mind no huddle if you use up most all of the play clock like P. Manning did. Get up to the line early and look over the defense a long time, change plays, no hurry to beat the clock before you snap when you do it that way.

 

You can run ball control out of the no huddle. They pretty much do unless it's under 2 minutes. Ben repeatedly runs the play clock down.

 

Three sure signs that it's preseason, stuff you hear every year:

- Veteran player X is in the best shape of his career (this yr Ben, last yr Harrison, Bettis yrs ago)
- Dissapointing recent high draft pick Y is having a great camp (this yr Bud, Jarvis Jones in the past)
- We're really, really,really gonna run a lot more no huddle thus year.

 

Why not? At this point, Ben can catch unfavorable matchups, catch defenses on their heels, and hit some big plays. They should trust him.

Not too many QBs have a knowledge of the game to be able to do that.

Think we're going to light it up on offense this year.
