Tom Brady and the no-huddle

[hepcat]

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 clue, but that defense and this one are two totally different animals.  if a team is moving the ball during no-huddle, then they are tough to stop regardless.

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.

I want us to come out and prove that yeah we are better than the Chiefs defense and a lot better. Brady gets rid of the ball so quick how our pass rush will get there concerns me

The first qtr will be uber important tonight.

 

If we come out even or on top, we are good in my estimation

If I recall correctly, we weren't heading into that preseason game game planning for Chip Kelly, so I'm not overly concerned.

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

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.........

[CRA]

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

Eagles is a bad example.

Buffalo isn't. The quick dump offs were a problem

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

[PhillyB]

i predict some routes being jumped early tonight.

Interior pressure is key.

 

Brady is much worse when he can't step up in the pocket to complete a throw.

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.
