Up Tempo


Recommended Posts

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.

    • Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself. 
    • Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.
    • That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
