Rivera won't commit to more no huddles

For real though, the big ticket item there is that the D can't sub anyone out. 

We have NUMEROUS guys on our team that are multifaceted in the positions that they can play.

Olsen can play TE and WR

CMC can play RB and WR

Samuel can play WR and RB.

Get those guys on the field, plus funch and Anderson, run power I first play, go no huddle, D can't sub, Get to the line in I form quick again, Call audible, spread CMC out wide, leaving anderson in the backfield, swing Samuel in motion, D now has to account for the sweep, the run with Anderson, and the PA. 

I mean am I wrong? Would this type of wrinkle not result in some decent plays? 

 

    There a lots of ways to incorporate the No Huddle into your Offense. Yeah, it can be situational. But the number of situations that come up in any game can be higher than could be expected. (I think that makes sense?)

 

    I mean, anytime you see an advantage, take advantage of that advantage. It does not have to become our Base Offense. But when the occasion arises, don't be afraid to use it. 

 

    If you are being successful against a certain alignment, going No Huddle keeps those players on the field. You have a mismatch with Samuel, or Moore, going No Huddle keeps that mismatch going. Lots of ways going No Huddle can be a positive thing.

 

    Cam already scares Defenses. Sprinkling the No Huddle into the mix? That could cause Nightmares. lol

and as in prior years, no huddle doesn't mean up tempo.  We have installed this in prior years.  Cam can still snap the ball with 2 seconds left on the play clock. 

 

    Yupperz, the No Huddle does not automatically mean Hurry Up. 

 

    Using it as a weapon can only make us better. And we have a QB that excels with it. I am not advocating for it to become our Base Offense. But man, there are times throughout the game when it could put added pressure on the opposing D. Why not add another arrow to your quiver?

Reminds me of a game years ago, I think against the Bears in one of Cams early seasons where we allowed the Bears to dink and dunk down the field and win against a very passive and soft zone scheme, playing way off WRs while they kept hitting quick slants repeatedly.  He said he would have rather lost “systematically” or some poo.  Just sounded like loser mentality all the way, kind of like sitting on a one score lead.  

Oh you mean the game where the Bears kept tapping Y on madden, lining up and running the same slant at Josh Norman all the way down the field? Good times.

I don't know what's wrong with a steady, methodical march down the field, capped off with a TD. 

Evidently that is against the rules.

    The No Huddle does not have to mean Hurry Up. You can still march the ball down the field. You do not have to hike the ball just because you are at the line, you can still milk the clock.

 

    Cam can take his time looking over the Defense, decide what he wants to do, then attack. Again, it is not automatic that the No Huddle means Hurry Up.

I understand the no huddle very well.  I also never said I was against it. 

There is a time for it, and not a time for it. It is not a whole game thing.

    The only folks saying to make it our base Offense, are few and far between. Most know it is a situational call. All we are saying is that when the situation calls for it, don't be afraid to use it.

Pretty sure Rivera isn't afraid. 

Of anything.

    OK. Sorry to have bothered you.

Of course he won't commit.   A public commitment would be stupid. 

[panthers55]

He said it was situational. That means when it works we will do more of it and if we go  3 and out a couple of times we might shelve it against that opponent that week. It is matchups and strengths/weaknesses of each team. The question you should be asking might be whether the no huddle will be effective against Baltimore's blitzing versus what New Orleans did to them last week in a close win which was run the ball and move the sticks with short passes to quick receivers. In any event, Cam can't hold the ball this week.

i.e. When your crappy dinosaur philosophy has the team requiring yet another 4th quarter comeback.

[ChillzIlz]

i wonder if this has anything to do with Cam and his complaint that sometimes the calls are 'too long'. A no huddle would almost certainly reduce the number of words he has to spit out for each call. Less time thinking about getting the calls out and more time to actually focus on whats what.

[tiger7_88]

Where is it that someone posted in another post that Newton now has 15 (or 16?) 4th quarter comeback wins?

To put that into perspective, that's either a full-season or one game short of a full-season of mandatory 4th quarter comeback wins in the Rivera Era.
