Up Tempo


Recommended Posts

I heard this twice in two different videos.   The offense was up tempo.  I hope it isn't just for mini-camps.

Cam flourished in this type of offense at Auburn.

While I hope it isn't Chip Kelly I do believe this offense has the tools to up tempo teams and score.

Good God, if we could ever get 10-14 point lead on a team early.  We would really put teams right were we want them.

Stout Defense and an offense that points some extra points on the board.  I see a lot more W's then L's

​Especially since only 4 teams we play had a defense ranked in the top half of the league last season. #1 Seattle, #11 Colts, #15 Packers, and #16 Texans. They're not all going to improve this year.

Kelly takes the tempo to an extreme and winds up wearing out his own team's defense just as much as the opponents.

You can still be 'up tempo' without overdoing it.

​I agree completely.  However, we were much more effective in scoring when we pushed the issue a bit.

Work them hard but not kill them.

I'd be all for up-tempo.  Everything everyone has already said is exactly right; You can be up-tempo without wearing your players out.  Somewhere between normal and Chip style.  I'm sure there are stats out there somewhere for our hurry up offense and I'd be interested to see them because it does seem Cam absolutely excels at it.

I like a quick cadence with our offense. If we get ahead you can slow it down a bit as needed but moving at a heightened pace keeps the defense on their heels. Especially now with what looks like several threats on offense.

I have literally been begging for us to go no huddle for two years. But I also think we should switch it up depending on our opponent. What I mean is like green bay for example run no huddle non stop in the second and third quarters but in the first and forth they have heavy packages. Denver runs it the first half and then switch up in the second. With us I think in the first and third is ideal because we tend to be a much better team with a lead the only thing about that is we still have Ron and shula who love to sit on leads rather than expand them which lost us maybe 9-12 games since 2012.

I'd rather just abuse an opposing team like the Patriots do. Throw 50 times? Sure. Run 50 times? Sure. Have the flexibility to not have an identity that can be game planned against. We dictate pressure. That's my ideal.

no huddle is a part of that. We need to be good at everything and we are starting to have the talent to do it.

That's the attack Rivera envisioned when he first got here.

    • When we drafted Luke, we already had Cam, Smith, Olsen, Stewart, Deangleo, Gross, Kalil, CJ, Hardy, Beason, TD, Gamble (and maybe more I'm forgetting), we had a lot of great pieces in place. Going pure BPA for a player with Luke's potential when the LB you already have is different when you already have all those pieces in place.  Our OL right now is probably in a better shape than that team and our RBs and TE have potential compared to proven vets back then, but after that, the 2012 roster was in a far better shape than we are right now. We need a #1 WR, DEs, LBs, DBs, C, and depending who you ask a QB.  Going BPA at pick #5 when that player is a DT and your current best player on either side of the ball is a DT, seems irresponsible. If he's the only player they like that high left, then you trade back and go with position of more need at a slot that makes sense for the player while adding other picks.  If you trade back and he falls because other teams don't need/want a DT, then you consider him at that point because of the value.    
    • This sounds like the same back and forth when we drafted a LB when we already had a LB or as mentioned prior back to back DLs. I want the BPA, if it is another DT so be it. (No not a kicker/punter for those people that think they are funny))
    • I’m hoping SMU messes it all up and wins out. Imagine the SEC & BI0 would crap themselves trying to “fix” the problem.
