Prediction: Bills will go no huddle on Sunday


MAJBobby

Recommended Posts

Here me out this is why. 

 

1.  It gives Josh a little help reading defense presnap with the OC in his ear to help (think they shut it off with 10 seconds to go right). 

 

2.  Will slow down passrush. The No huddle always does that because it is harder for rotation. 

 

3.  To clarify I am not talking throw it all over the yard but more of a Huddle at the line like College does (that is where the game is going IMO). 

 

Finally the first play from him I would love to see is 4 wide. Under center. Play action to Shady (they will likey be thinking run to protect the rookie), all WRs run gos. Hits the top of his drop and lets it fly. (Ala the Carolina game).

It's not a bad plan, but that is also very much a double-edged sword. If Allen and the Offense fail to get in rhythm the Defense is on the field a lot! So, in theory, it sounds all well and good, but WRs drop a ball, Shady gets stuffed at the line and 3rd a long is a real possibility all in under a minute and a half and the D pins their ears back and sends the house. Now, you're hoping a WR steps it up and gets separation, the receiver selection to pass to is the right read, the receiver makes the catch and it all occurs without penalty and past the sticks. Should it happen in the NFL? Of course! But given this Offense's difficulty in moving the ball, it seems a bit more methodical would be the way to go to start the game.

 

Now, through the 1st Quarter and they've had either real success or even some limited success moving the ball and Allen feels more comfortable and the Defense isn't worn down, then maybe you go No Huddle for the 2nd Quarter so that at least the Defense gets a break at the half. If it's no go, maybe you slow it down again, if it's working, then you go back to it. Basically, starting out that way doesn't necessarily help him, it only makes him feel more rushed (maybe?) - so it's a gamble and not one I would want to see right out of the gate. But, who knows?

The positives of the no-huddle in a rookies first game are far outweighed by the negatives. I could handle some no-huddle mixed in, but it needs to be limited for the first half of the season. No reason to speed up a game that is already sped up so much for Allen

I'd like it mixed in.  Like call a play on 1st and get to the line for 2nd.  

 

The key they need to help him most, is that they need to get to the line quick so they can use motion to diagnose coverage, and the center can make their line calls.  They struggled with that in cincy, and it results in penalties and just generally missed blocks.

I do understand that. But not talking tempo here they play same speed as being in the huddle. Just trying to figure a way to help the rookie with an extra set of eyes

Steve Tasker was saying this exact thing yesterday on One Bills Live.  Give him a limited number of plays.  Keep the D on the field while not letting them do anything too exotic in terms of blitzing (at least that's what I remember).

you need a strong, smart, well coached offensive line to run a no huddle......and a QB to call the plays....if the coach is still calling the plays, what's the point?

 

To get the coaches a look at the defense. Ala college. Lineup coach sees defende entire team looks to sideline for play. Very similar concept without the entire team looking over to sideline. 

 

I and not talking a no huddle like Kelly ran where he made a decision on what he was seeing but more like lining up immediately and coach relaying in a play that he sees based on d lineup

I think designed roll outs would be better for Josh in his first week rather than no huddle, thats a lot to ask of him and the offense.

 

Josh is good on the run so get him rolling out to give him more time to throw the ball.

 

I would like designed rollout half field reads as well.

If we punt as soon as we receive the ball we probably won't need to huddle

 

you can't keep sending the D back on the field in 4 minutes real time after no-huddle 3 and outs

 

 

 

one year during this dismal dismal 20 years they seemed to do this 6 times a game to the D

I dont mind going to this after we get a first down. Could allow for a better rhythm and keep things simpler for JA

 

you mean about 5 minutes into the 3rd quarter?

 

i can just imagine the standing O and roar of the Bills fans at the first first down on Sunday  :D

My hot take on why few teams run no-huddle as a game-long strategy?

 

The teams don't have enough players with the requisite football IQ to do it.  

 

Hell, we can't even get the players on the team to execute the plays they've been studying for months.

elite QBs for 20 years get to the line with 20 seconds on the shotclock and completely read the D and call out audibles or the best choice of 3 plays they have set up for the situation

I fully expect him to throw a bomb on the first play, whether it's completed or not, just to put the defense on notice.

Yeah, let’s complete the EJ development of Josh Allen!

 

its funny, I didn’t want Allen but I thought at least the Bills aren’t going to be stupid and rush him on the field.  He will get to learn from a vet and work on getting more consistent habits in practice.  Yet, here we are again.
