Tom Brady and the no-huddle

Recommended Posts

I have a question - I seem to remember Carolina's defense getting beat pretty badly against the Eagles during the pre-season because of the uptempo no-huddle offense they run.  For years, Tom Brady has run a quick, no-huddle style offense.  I've watched every Panthers game this year and I can't think of any team that really tried to beat Carolina's defense with quick no-huddle calls.  Should we expect to see a lot of that tonight - and could it be bad for the defense?

No way they do it unless they're trying to put us away after we make some early mistakes. They score fast, they keep our defense fresh the whole game and our offense has more time to work with. They'll run their offense a little faster than the 9ers did, but only in the sense that the huddle will be short and they'll hurry to the line. Their objective HAS to be "run the ball, make safe passes, get first downs, chew up clock" if they want to win this game.

Try your best to diguise your defense, make the QB try and disect the 'D" in a couple of seconds, if he can't, audibles can't be called, confusion sets in and the "hurry up" breaks down. The downside of this is of course Brady who is a master of the"up tempo" offense. If the Bengals and Jets can do it.........

Expect lots of no huddle quick tempo spreading us out.....

We got to stop them on first down. Hard to get the no huddle up and running unless you get the positve play in the early down. We also need to come out and force them out of the quick pass. Give them a shot at beating is deep.....gives us the best shot at getting Brady

We have seen fast speeds against Philly in the preseason and Buffalo in game two.

 

I do think we will see some tonight.  Like a midget at a urinal we will have to be on our toes

 

Pie for the midget at a urinal reference that I'm stealing for the RL

Speculation in Boston is the Pats will run 4-5 wide. Conceed the power run game (because we're such a good run stuffing team), and dink and dunk our defense to death.

If Brady stays upright, it could work. Don't forget this is the first game of the season the Pats will have all of their offensive weapons. Gronk, replacement Welker, and Vereen being healthy makes a difference.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
