Please stop the No Huddle/Blitz showboating

[stuckincincy]

As mentioned by coach Frazier of MIN, and elsewhere here, you lose some of the necessary talent evaluation prior to final cuts.

BUF has been flagged 20 times in their 2 games...7 (!) offensive holds, 2 defensive neutral zones, 3 defensive off sides. A rapid pace, lots of blitzing, is a double-edged sword.

It's fine to run blitzes and the no huddle, practice it, but this steady diet is dumb - or an attempt to gin up the juices of the local fans

If you plan to blitz 60, 70% of the time, you will get burned - be it a series of pitch outs and quick hitches, draws, floater to a crossing TE, or quick drop-back deep stuff. etc.

If you plan to constantly go no huddle, you will find defenders smacking your receivers in the 5 yard zone, and deciding that your QB is worth smacking hard and suffering the personal foul. Yes - you fatigue a defense, but you also up the probabilities for your OL to grab and your skill players to miss the called play. Your offensive players also physically (and mentally) react to a fast pace.

Re: Please stop the No Huddle/Blitz showboating

maybe we should bring Wanny and his D back and call Jauron for his offensive philosophy.

Uh showboating? Did you not realize we were going to be a blitz-happy team? We hired the Jets and Ravens former D-coordinators...what did you expect?

Re: Please stop the No Huddle/Blitz showboating

As a head coach, Leslie Frazier has a worse winning percentage than both Dick Jauron and Chan Gailey... I don't think I'd take much of his advice, if I wanted to remain an NFL Head Coach for long.

What a load of crap.

No, of course not.

Swinging the pendulum fully the other way - and holding it there - is nuts.

I'm waiting to see if Marrone &Co. keep it up against WAS. If they do, I lean toward concluding that they feel that gimmicks are the best bet to ring their cash register.

Re: Please stop the No Huddle/Blitz showboating

Yes. Let's not bring back the no huddle and let's not blitz so much. That would be a great coaches philosophy. Oh wait, that's not our coaches philosophy. So let's ***** about it and bring in a coach who doesn't blitz often and has a basic huddle system. But then, when we don't blitz so much and give the QB time, and our offense is 3 and out because the opponents defense has time to rest and make correct substitutions, let's bring in a coach with more blitz packages and an offense that's willing to go to an up tempo. When that fails, let's ease it up a bit and go back to a...

Stuck in Cincy doesn't want the Bills to blitz because he thinks Manny Lawson SUCKS.

He may suck, but that wont stop Pettine from blitzing.

Ok coach. Good to know ahead of time that the Bills system is doomed. Maybe you should quit now and go pull for the Vikings. I am going to stick around here awhile. It looks like a fun season ahead to me

Were Jim Kelly and co. running gimmicks? You think Peyton Manning is running gimmicks?

Brady and the pats ran an up tempo offense last year, you think that was gimmick?

you try and run whatever it is you hope to run on game day and see which players can perform. Those who can't get cut.

well, Lawson sure did not suck in the two games he has played as a Bill & I expect him to only get better the better he knows the system.

Nicely put.

There's little doubt - sadly - that the Bills' organization seems to hold the lead as the NFL's poster child for *****zophrenic behavior.

Brady & Co. did - Kolb and Manuel aren't Brady.

Justa - it's been 13 years. G_d knows how many coaches and coaching staffs.

I'd be happy to see a draft of 3 OLs and 4 LBs and a fresh start.
