Hurry up Offense.

I thought one of the few bright spots last Sat. vs. the Ravens, was when the offense went hurry up. I thought it caught the Ravens completely off guard. I think Jake performs better at this pace, which matches his personality. I'm listing below some of the reasons I think we could benefit more by going to the Hurry Up more often.

1) As I mentioned before, Jake is more effective when he's not forced to slow down. Think about how many drives he's led before the half and at the end of games.

2) Changes the snap count and keeps the Defense guessing. How many times have we seen teams in the backfield due to the same snap count?

3) The RB's all are capable of splitting out or catching the ball out of the backfield and (I know I'm gonna get dogged for this statement!) D'lo or Goodson can run wildcat. Just another wrinkle for teams to gameplan against.

4) 2 of 3 TE's are quick enough to split out, I think this would suit Rosario perfectly (like the Colts use Dallas Clark)

5) I'm not saying throw the ball every down, you can run the ball effectively in a hurry up. I would however like to see the Offense open it up a little more only if its screen passes to Smitty or the backs. Catching a Defense in run stop mode and then just hurrying up to the line, would open up alot of downfield opportunities.

You know what? I'll take our slow-ass, methodical, run Williams and Stewart down their throats offense every day. Do that all game, and when Jake DOES hurry up he'll be deadly.

Start out with the hurry-up or go to the pass-first mentality early and watch him throw five INTs. :)

Hurry-Up Offense or No-Huddle Offense? There is a difference.

Hurry-Up offense usually has predetermined plays already set and the main goal is to take as little time off the play and time clock as possible.

No-Huddle offense usually has plays called and changed at the line of schimmage and is able to take as much time off the play clock as the quarterback wants.

No team can run the hurry-up more than a couple of minutes per half or their offensive line, espcially one like the Panthers have, would be completely exausted by the end of the first quarter.

And while I am a supportor of Jakes, I don't think he has the ability to run a no-huddle offense ie the colts for an entire game.

My point being run the hurry up more than twice a game, maybe twice a half. Don't get me wrong I love seeing us run the ball also but its like teams know whats coming. I look too see Davidson going to this more often this year. As far as Jake is concerned, I'm not a big fan either but lets put him in a comfort zone. Thanks for the feedback!

You should write a letter to Jeff Davidson quoting this entire idea. Awesome idea, I never really thought of it, and your absolutely right. Its dead on, Jake performs better at a faster pace, that is probably why he has all those 4th quarter comebacks. We do have a great skill to run the no huddle, so maybe we see this sometimes.

    • I don't disagree, but you're not giving our offense enough credit, and I'm not saying we would win the SB, just that we would be contenders, which we would have been. The Bengals had a horrible start to the season last year and it caused them to just miss the playoffs by one game, but had they made it, they absolutely would have been contenders in the AFC.  They had a bad defense, probably worse than ours will be this year, and you can't convince me that we don't have a better offensive roster than they had last year.   We have a Top 10 OL, two 1k rushers from last year, two 1st round WRs, one of the best slot WRs in the league, and then Coker.  Like I said, their Top 2 WRs are better than ours will be this year, but we take them in every other spot, OL, RBx2, and our 3rd/4th WRs.   If Burrow was able to turn that team into a contender last year, no reason he couldn't do the same with our roster this year.  And hell, I think our offensive roster is better than KC's last year too, and while I know their defense did a lot of the heavy lifting last year, if you give Mahomes an improved offensive roster around him, he's going to be THAT much better himself. A Mahomes, Burrow, or Allen would be able to win the South by outscoring teams.  And yes, come playoff time against an Eagles or Lions juggernaut, our defense probably costs us the game, but that doesn't mean we wouldn't at least be contenders. If Bryce can prove me wrong and his supporters here right, and be THAT guy for us this year, I genuinely think we can be a real playoff threat in 2026 once we add a few more pieces to the defense and then be a genuine SB contender in 2027 if the team keeps improving. We're the 2022 Detroit Lions right now.   Great offensive pieces, tons of holes on defense, but if things go right we'll just miss the playoffs (like they did) and then be right in the playoff hunt the next year (like they did) and then be contenders the following season (like they did when they were the #1 seed).
    • Hornets have had the worst luck of any professional sports franchise this century. Constantly drafting a slot below the generational talent, all because of the lottery done behind closed doors. It's been brutal and frankly unfair to be a diehard fan of this franchise, and I don't blame anyone for cutting out the stress.
    • We will see if there is any logic to those sort of packages. I haven't seen a ton of evidence that Evero operates that way.
