No Huddle Offense...

[quizlet2003]

...It really suprises me why they do not do this. Talking with friends and looking over super bowl years tapes, I see there is one major factor that got the "K-gun" offense so great (other than great players)... NO HUDDLE OFFENSE. I mean if we can get our guys in shape (they are pretty much) we could tear the defenses apart.

...Looking over tapes, in a couple games in-particular the defense called all 3 of there first half timeouts while Kelly and the offense was on the field for they where gasping for air. Throw- first down. Back on line. Run- first down. Back on line. No huddling. No waiting. Get the job done and kill the defense.

Any thoughts on this. I believe Bledsoe would do this. They have done this, this year but with only like 2 minutes remaining in the game!

Drew Bledsoe is not FAST enough to run.....literally!

very funy- have you watched the games. He has done it succesfuly every game for the last 4 games. Do it some times during the game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :hammeru:

Our offense needs to control the clock with sustained drives because our defense sucks. We had a good defense in the early 90's but they weren't statistically rated very high because the other offense always had the ball.

I dont think you understand. This would HELP our defense. If we score very quickly, then there offense is always on the field. Thus they get tired and our defense can utilize this!

Oh....and the more you keep a defense on the field, the more they get tired.

Oh, You Did NOT Get the Memo?

This has now been changed to Creedfanszone. Sorry for the inconvenience.



Why when our offense is the best in the NFL should we now move to a no huddle? Perhaps you can explain the logic to me of why the expression "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" does NOT apply right now?

OMG I'm so excited!!!!!!

Let's start planning on a Zone tailgate before the Creed concert. I'll start a thread to get everyone signed up.

This runs contrary to all professional opinion. The reason we couldn't win a super bowl in our 0-4 run was becasue we couldn't stop anybody. We ran the K-gun and our defense was on the field way to much. Don't ask me, ask Cornelius Bennett, Talley, Bruce Smith etc. They were sucking air in each of the super bowl losses-too much time on the field. To win you need to be able to control the clock and to do that you need a credible, if not outstanding, running game. While defenses tire on the field, offenses gain energy because plays can be called to rest certain elements of the offense, but the defense is reactive and never rests. The best thing we could do now is use our potent offensive throwing game to help us establish clock control through the running game. Otherwise, we might make it through Dec., but not January. I think it will take until next year, but I think it's coming.

It also takes much more energy to defend than to go on offense

Miss Buffalo is right. Playing defense is more tiring than playing offence because the defense has to react to what the offence is doing. That often means defensive players have to cover more ground when they run. The no huddle that Buffalo ran during the Kelly era tired out the opponents' defenses because they couldn't get a breather during drives. It also tired out Buffalo's defense because time of possession was often highly in favor of the other team. It was sure fut to watch though. I would mind if Drew Bledsoe ran it some during games, and not just as a 2 minute offence. It would knock opposing defenses off balance. A steady diet of it might be awfully tough on our defense though.

Exactly
