[QUOTE="00Burdell, post: 158523, member: 5"] Just one dumb guy's opinion but I actually think our offense works [I]better [/I]when we [I]don't[/I] run a no huddle. My understanding of the intent of the no-huddle is to prevent the defense from 'setting up' after a quick assessment of the offensive formation. Again, just my observation, but I think our offense actually benefits from allowing the D to 'set up' since the play we run sometimes keys off of the defensive alignment. And I think there is a psychological aspect to taking our time, allowing the D all the time they need to put themselves in the best position to defend themselves then biting off huge chunks of yardage. Unlike boxing where the match can end after a knockout, we are obliged to play for the full 60 minutes so the slower we go, the less time our D is on the field. A no-huddle has the effect of increasing the number of possessions for both teams - not sure we need more possessions when we are already remarkably efficient with the ones we already have. The stats that tell the story for me is that we led the nation in both the fewest 3-and-outs and the highest 3rd down conversion percentage. As long as I have been watching football, I have considered 3rd-down conversion percentage to be the single most important offensive stat. [/QUOTE]
