Up Tempo

[DaveThePanther2008]

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

Hope so.

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.

​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.

​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.

Cam and the rest of the offense were at their best in uptempo situations last year. Hopefully the staff can remember that and build off of it.

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.

We went more uptempo at the end of the year and had success.

 

I think the idea is to carry that over to this season

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.

[DaveThePanther2008]

I don't think NO huddle is necessarily what I was thinking.   Up tempo.  Quick huddle, hustle to the line and quick snap, again and again.  Throw a no huddle in there once or twice to keep them guessing on when they can replace players.

[Snake]

Up tempo and good defenses rarely work. I rather see a defense that causes turnovers and a offense that has a short field than up tempo. Up tempo is when your defense is swiss cheese and you have to score.
