How does one have an up tempo ground and pound offense? They are completely opposite types of offense!
Defensive linemen wear down over the course of the game. If you get road graded by a double team, have to chase down a play from behind and the offense is out of the huddle and back on the ball quickly that type of thing adds up.
You get the play in. You get out of the huddle. You motions once or twice. And you run the play. Quick with the play and out of the huddle, deprives the defense of substitution. Quick motion allows the defense little time to adjust. And the play is off and running. All that aside, what is uptempo? Seriously? Who runs a low tempo offense on purpose?
Obtaining a rhythym is up-tempo, something our previous system failed to do. Ground and pound can obtain a rhythym. It also can take shots downfield rather than sideline to sideline.
This is great to hear. One big thing the offense lacked last season was rhythm, which was due in part to Schotty's complex gameplan's week after week, resulting in players doing too much thinking rather then simply playing their game and letting their talents take over. Coach Sparano's philosphy couldn't be any more perfect fit for what our offense needs to be successful and has done to acheive success in Rex's first two years. Our offense is finally forming it's own identity.
We'll see if we have the personnel to pull off Coach Sparano's philosophy. Our RT still needs to be addressed. Yes we have picked up a couple of options if Hunter doesn't work out, but from what I've read so far, neither of them is a huge upgrade.
I could not stand seeing the offense at the line of scrimmage for 15 seconds putting guys in motion back and forth and snapping the ball with 2 seconds left. All I was thinking of was snap the damm ball and execute and stop thinking so much. You could see it watching them. So glad BS is gone
Exactly. It was glaringly obvious how slow the plays came in last season and how slow the offense was to comprehend what was being called. If 'up tempo' means getting the play in quickly and efficiently and not giving the defense all day to get set up every time then I'm all for it. One thing Sanchez has definitely proven to be good at is excelling in hurry up situations and yet he was only given those opportunities when the game was on the line and there was no other choice. A team like the Pats uses it whenever they see it as an advantage over the defense that they're facing. Hopefully our new OC will take advantage of that particular strength.
If by up tempo Sparano indicates one effect being less time for the players to digest the play call, and that they are responsible for their assignment from the get go, I have to assume that means that he is implying there is less motion and pre-snap dillydallying in general. Get out of the huddle, run the play. Be the aggressor. I think this is a great strategy, especially when implementing a new system. You want your guys to know what the hell they're doing the first day of training camp, rather than towards the end. That gives Sparano and the offense more time to add in folds and quirks, compose new plays, and iron out the issues before the season comes in earnest.
I totally agree with this POV. I don't want to see the Jets in week 4 and hear things like they are struggling because they are still learning a new system. Know the system inside and out by week 1 and execute. It seems like there were too many times where the offense never fully "got" BS's system.
Schotty's Double Triple Motions were absolutely the worst. You could Tell players didn't know what they were doing. With a Simple Line up Read And Go type offense i think we will succeed
maybe going up tempo will give sanchez the opportunity to not think himself into a fucking corner. maybe he will be less scared and jumpy in the pocket. that or we could just keep talking about schottenheimer. maybe we could start talking about paul hackett again too.
this.taking the play clock down doesn't help the pass pro either. pass rushers know how much time is left and can just tee off knowing there is not enough time for a hard count.
