2 minute offense during the game.

Maybe it is just me but Bryce seems to flourish in the 2 min hurry up offense. What if we ran a hurry up offense more often. I know Canales likes the run heavy possession offense and there is nothing wrong with that but is it the best use of Bryce?

Every QB does and it's honestly because defenses are generally playing soft coverage in those situations.

Exactly. Why not take advantage of that. They also can't substitute as easily.

I think that big play to XL really loosened him up and things seemed to be easier for after that

Just because you're running a two minute offense doesn't mean it's a two minute situation. Defenses play soft in those situations because they're using the clock as a 12th man.

Hard to run that offense the entire game with our lack of WR weapons and you don’t want to move away from the ground and pound which is our strength, but I do agree it wouldn’t be the worst idea to incorporate a bit more hurry up and see how Bryce does just letting it loose

to add, you get more static personel because there are far fewer subs, so if you can exploit say, an undersized CB on a receiver, its harder for the defense to snap change of plan to defend a group or play.  There is a downside, and its a big one that was exposed when chip kelly tried doing just that in the NFL...you're defense WILL get gassed, regardless of talent or personel.  We have a....serviceable...defense when they have time on the sideline.  Especially with how talent deficient our defensive unit is, if we put them out there more today, the eagles easily could have scored 35 points or more.

Look at the Eagles they were blitzing a lot but it makes you play zone behind it which plays to Bryces strengths.  As I said the advantages are the defense will have difficulty dialing up exotic blitzes or stunts. So even if they bring pressure it will be manageable. Second, they can't substitute defenders situational and you can catch them off guard. Now the qb has to be somewhat elusive and receivers have to be good at the scramble drill. But as long as you don't go constantly 3 and out which gives the defense no rest, it can be a good change of pace to ride momentum.

With Legette dropping everything he was a big drive killer. And remember that running from the hurry up can break plays as they expect you to pass.
