No Huddle, Might Be A Hindrance

Seems like Mother Hen's CFB background might not be good for the NFL. M I G H T N O T. However, we might see more pro teams playing huddle-free football if she deem it gets results. Meanwhile:

Hooker is a sharp guy and is in a great situation where he is learning from several great coaches, like Ben Johnson and Mark Brunell . Whether he stays w/ the Lions or not, he’s going to be very prepared if he gets a better opportunity somewhere eventually.

I always thought no-huddle is challenging in the NFL because of the more limited roster. 5 WRs on the entire roster makes it just as exhausting for the offense as it is for the defense

Some things don't translate well from college to the NFL for a number of reasons. This is one of them, taking snaps from under center is something else QBs from college often have to learn.

The Sugar Huddle is a fun twist on it.

I would not give 2cents as to what MSN has to say, and I could care less-Click bait!

Then ignore my post rather than respond to it.

Agreed. Spurriers and Chip Kellys systems failed in the NFL. I don’t think Heupels system would translate to the NFL. The leagues and talent differences are just too great.

I think Heupel's system could find use situationally in the NFL. I'd bet the first time we see it will be against a team which situationally substitutes often, forcing either a timeout, or the defense to continue play with less than ideal personnel.

1st and goal at the one after a big gainer would be an ideal time for an offense to have that in their arsenal against teams that normally bring in a jumbo package on goal line D.

If their rules allow it. I haven't seen an NFL game since 2016, for some reason.

Definitely could work in special situations. But the super WR spits to the sidelines? I don’t see that being very successful.

I agree. The narrowed NFL hashmarks negates a lot of the wide split stuff. Buffalo went to 3 Super Bowls 30 years ago running K-Gun which was basically no huddle Run and Shoot. Going fast with a bunch of option routes isn’t really a new idea.

It’s funny how Run and Shoot, Shotgun, Spread Option, running QBs, 10 and 00 personnel etc gets made fun of until it works somewhere and then everybody in the NFL copycats.

I'm curious why? Despite the hashmarks, you're still forcing the DBs to cover they entire width of the field, and dispersing a layer of run defense away from the middle of the field. Do you think their DBs' NFL speed negates that advantage?

The wider hashmarks just change the playcalling dynamic a little. There's just more grass for the offense to use and it forces the defense to declare a little more.
