that sounds good on paper...but when you have so many guys trying to overachieve you end up with a ton of injuries.

You don't rotate to "prevent" injury, you rotate because you have players who do something better than other players and their playing time is dictated by the current situation in the game. Example: Obvious running play/down our DT's should be Kyle Williams and Tripplett. Obvious passing downs: McCargo and fill in the blank.

Injuries aren't always a product of being tired. Especially in Poz's case, it was just bad luck (or Thomas sticking his head where it shouldn't have been).

To answer your question "what happened to the no huddle?" That requires having a QB that knows the playbook/system inside and out and a QB who is able to think on the run and make changes at the line (change routes, call out blitzes, etc.......). Losman either can't do that or the coaches don't want him to do it. I don't know enough about Edwards and haven't seen him play enough to have an opinion of him.

also, we're already getting killed in time of possession- if we run the no-huddle, even drives where we score only take 2:30-3:00 off the clock. Not nearly good enough with this D.

That's not good enough with any D. That was the whole reason the Cowboys destroyed the Bears in the second half, their defense was sucking wind from being on the field so much.

well it works in the rare cases when you have an O like the K-gun that puts up TD's more often than not. It doesn't matter if your D is winded when you're up by 21 with 5 minutes left.

The time of possession issue certainly limits the number of opportunities the offense has had to try different things like the no huddle, but the no huddle does not have to be a hurry up offense. The QB can take the team to the LOS and run just as much time calling signals as if he had made full use of the huddle. The no huddle prevents the defense from substituting for different situations. Granted, Kelly ran it at a fast clip because defenses always have to expend more energy reacting than the offense expends in running plays. Therefore the no huddle run at a fast clip can really tire them out. Not everyone runs the no huddle at that knd of pace all the time.

Kelly said they ran it because the offense was so well conditioned.
