Up Tempo

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.

      I think you've nailed what we need right here.  Rodriguez and Thieneman would be my choices, Thieneman in the first and Rodriguez in the second. Let everyone else eat up their picks on the crop of WRs and linemen. Then make a push in free agency for the top center.

      Vernon Gholston vibes?  had 14 sacks at Ohio State in 2007; 45 games in the NFL:  0 sacks.

      I want a high impact player, but a true FS who could qb the secondary might be more effective than we realize.  I don't think Moehrig is that guy (I think he is overpaid, however).  I want a flashy, high impact player, but we could use defensive qbs at ILB  and FS.  By upgrading skill AND adding vision and leadership, could we get better than if we added an edge or OT? I am not sure that I believe this myself, but I try to look at things from all perspectives.  Here is some devil's advocacy stuff: 1. EDGE-We are freaking out about the pressure we put on the qb from the edge position.  However, Jones II and Wonnum missed a total of 22 games. Scourton was a rookie and Princely was a third rounder.  Wharton sucked (not sure if he was used properly--a hybrid who can rush from the 5 tech or 3, etc), and this put more pressure on Scourton and the other edge players.  This year, we get Jones II, Scourton should continue to evolve with Princely.  Perhaps another rookie is not what we need.  Maybe a veteran situational pass rusher.  2. OFFENSIVE TACKLE:  Of course, we need an OT, but the draft is loaded with OTs that can pass block but struggle in run blocking--so a rookie at LT might not be the answer for a team that wants to run first.  What to do?  I am not sure.  I see Nijman returning after testing the market, but who knows? 3.  INSIDE LB:  A huge need, regardless of how you spin it.  However, I see a few free agents who would be solid here, and I see the second round having a few ILBs with starting potential.  I do not see an ILB worth the first round pick unless a freak falls to us. 4.  With veteran defensive backs, a young, intelligent FS could fit in nicely. Intelligence is key--like the way Luke made the front 7 better. "A good, intelligent free safety (FS) acts as the "quarterback of the defense" transforming a unit from good to great by acting as the last line of defense, communicating pre-snap adjustments, and anticipating plays before they happen. By reading the quarterback's eyes and diagnosing offensive schemes, an intelligent FS acts as a "centerfielder" who can neutralize deep threats and mitigate errors made by cornerbacks or linebackers."
