    Jaworski: Buffalo's no-huddle 'a big mistake'

    Ron Jaworski was a guest on Friday's edition of "Mike & Mike in the Morning" to preview Monday night's game between the Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots in Gillette Stadium.

    The suburban Buffalo native had some strong words about his hometown team's insistence upon using the no-huddle offense, shared some insightful observations about Tom Brady's knee and talked up New York Jets rookie Mark Sanchez.

    On whether the Bills have the weapons to run the no-huddle:
    "They have the weapons. I don't think they have the ability. I'm not going to knock what they're trying to do ... I guess I am. Now you're going to get me lathered up.
    "You got five offensive linemen. You're starting two rookies at guards. To me, you want to have guys in the huddle and call the play so there's communication. You walk to the line of scrimmage; 'Hey, here's what we're going to do when we get this front.' You plan as you go to the line of scrimmage. Now you're in the no-huddle. Trent Edwards is at the line of scrimmage, calling plays. There's very little time to react, to communicate.
    "What I saw out of the Buffalo Bills in the preseason was a total lack of communication offensively. Yeah, the no-huddle sounds good when you got a 10-year veteran like Jim Kelly and veterans like Andre Reed and Kent Hull at the center position, all those wily, old veteran players, running a no-huddle offense. It's a lot easier than when you have a bunch of rookies and inexperienced guys.
    "I think they're making a big mistake running the no-huddle."

      Its really hard to disagree with that, and Jaws is one of the few Buffalo 'homers' we have in the national media, which lends even more credability.

        Again, it wouldn't be a mistake if they executed it properly. Instead, Trent is going to mangle the hell out of it.

          I just don't get why this staff has the idea that we can run the no huddle.

          We haven't even proven we can run plays correctly with a huddle.

            In interviews i've seen on TV and heard on the radio the last couple months.... Jim Kelly didn't sound confident about the Bills running the no huddle this year either.

              Im in the minority that loves the idea of the no huddle.

              I'll give it a few games before I throw in the towel. (Sorry Jaws)

                I love the idea of the no huddle too. I've even written about how much I love it.

                However, I loved the initial idea because I remember growing up during the days of Jim Kelly running it properly.

                I then saw Trent run it in the preseason and was fairly disgusted. I still like the idea but I'm not very confident.

                    He is 1000% correct here. The reason the no huddle worked in Buffalo back in the 90's is they had pretty much a solid crew of players who had played together for years and the cohesion was there.

                    The no huddle as a main O is for a team that has been building towards it together for a couple of years. We have a completely revamped OL.

                    Jaws' reasoning is dead on IMO... never the less we're going to find out soon.

                      The no huddle worked better in the "Glory Days" because Jim Kelly was calling plays and not having them relayed in. I remember hearing a story about how his helmets microphone magically never worked for some reason...

                      The 90's Bills if i remember correctly also ran the no huddle from the K-Gun almost every play outside the redzone. Shotgun formation 1 RB, 3 WR's, 1 TE. They weren't trying to get cute with different formations and substitutions, and motions every other play.

                      Hopefully Van Pelt simplifies things for real.

                        We probably won't even run it.

                        I'm just letting you know that you have been given 2 points for telling Wys AKA Mark to kill himself.

                          He may be right but Jaws also stated Losman would be a great QB!

                            I don't like the idea of the no huddle this year. Hangartner is going to have his hands full being the general of this group of young offensive lineman.
