Cam thrives in the No huddle

[rmoneyg35]

I would love for it to happen.

It allows him to play instinctual instead of robotically. Cam is a million times more Brett Favre than he will Payton Manning. Let him play football more than play QB and he will have more success imo.

We can't always do it because it puts more plays and minutes on our defense. Time of possession was 32min to 27min. We have to win time of possession a lot with the type of team we have.

 

Im not sure if it much different than going 3 and out the other way. It also allows our defense to come out shut down there offense and put a tired teams defense back on the field. Thats the way a Payton Manning offense works and it goes real well when the offense is clicking.

 

 

If you ever watched Payton move a offense its not quick score, its quick huddle/no huddle.

The best thing for cam is giving him more command at the line of scrimmage. He's in year four. Giving him this type of time now is going to pay huge dividends in two years when qbs usually really turn it on.

It works as a change up because it's a change up, but we should use it more often.

Also when we get up on teams, it forces them to be more assertive and get away from the schemes that have been hurting us this season (screens and dump passes with runs mixed in). Our defenses is design to limit big plays and force turnovers when teams take chances.  Seems like teams are using that dink and dunk strategy and taking their time with the ball because they know we are gonna do the same and there is no rush to score. It would be nice to switch it up and put more points on the board with urgency to force teams into a more assertive possessions so we can put the defense in position to make more plays.

newton thrives in it because that's what he ran in college...but he may not have had command at the line of scrimmage.

"They never huddled," Shula said on Monday. "He never called a play at the line of scrimmage. I don't know if he ever had a snap count. They had all those signs up. He just looked over and the rest of the team looked over, got the signal, then he lifted his leg and got the ball."

shula interview...

the no huddle offense works because it forces the opposing defense into a default scheme and creates favorable matchups/mismatches since there's no time for substitutions.

in other words...it takes the guesswork out of what a defense is doing.

it doesn't work all the time for two reasons...

1. just like the defense is limited by not being able to substitute, the offense is limited to certain plays since it can't change personnel.

2. defenses have default schemes that they run variations off of designed just for this. they don't just automatically switch to and stay in a prevent defense. after one or two drives, they will switch to that scheme and eventually nullify what the offense is doing.

Mix in no huddle at the right time. Do it after a turnover. When a team is down to 1 timeout. We have to get better in the red zone. We move 20-20 with ease.

Yes your right, but if we were to use it 2-3 times a game I believe that it would help us to put some points on the board.

The way Cam explained it, they go no-huddle, but they do NOT go hurry-up-no-huddle (HUNH).  So if they're going no huddle, but still using the clock, how in the world does that possibly impact time-of-possession in a negative way?

 

Because we score faster?  That's a BAD thing now?  

[Ruff]

The best part is seeing Cam have time to make adjustments without almost getting a delay of game or burning an unnecessary timeout.

The play at Auburn was called at the sideline.  But Cam, as he matured in the offense (probably at about mid-season that year), was given the authority to check the offense into another play if he made the proper read to do so on the field.

 

So, no, Mikey... Cam wasn't just an Auburn Robot that they remote-controlled out there to take a shotgun snap from center.
